1998 Saturn SL sl2 review from North America
"The car is a fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cv joint at 100000 miles
burns oil when before bought it
mufflers due to oil and fluids in exhaust
check engine light 90000 miles
most recently a leak in tranny 130000 mile working on this now
fuel pump 95000
rear link stabilizer (right) 90000
some engine upgrades (choice)
General comments?
It's a 1998 Saturn I bought for $900.00 and to what I invested compared to the miles I put on this car its been pretty good to me. If the price is right would buy a new Saturn (ion) hopefully. None the less Saturn is a budget car if your looking for years of driving without correct maintenance then your gonna pay the difference in cash.
