I have been considering buying a 1996 Saturn SL2. I found a used one on E-bay for around $1,000. The previous owner recently had a motor mount, brakes, a battery and an alignment serviced or replaced on this car.
After reading your comments and reviewing the problems this owner has had, it seems as though he's just trying to get rid of his trouble. Up to this point, I thought Saturn's were reliable cars. After all, most college students, single families, or older adults seem to be the majority buying these vehicles. I will stick to my Honda's, Toyota's, and Pontiac's.
If you don't own a Saturn, why did you write this review? Not helpful to someone looking for first hand knowledge.
