2000 Saturn SL SL1 review from North America
"Buyer beware"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cracked intake gasket at 83000, very expensive to replace.
At 85000 ignition wires and spark plugs replaced.
At 87000 was getting random cylinder misfires resulting in replacing a fuel injector, again expensive.
General comments?
I bought this car as I was under the impression that it was economical. The original price was fair however I have put over 2000.00 Canadian into this vehicle in repairs in the last year.
