Just brought home one in a long line of saturn s-cars.
Yeah it needs 3 tires and a door panel. Thermostat already, spark plugs probably. Good cleaning. Had about a quart of oil left in it, I threw some used delo in there for the drive home, now running maxlife 5w30. Probably a little dirty inside the motor. 140-something thousand miles, with life to give.
5 speed, manual steering, I expect 40 MPG like I get from the rest of my SOHC saturns.
Not really bragging but rather commenting on the state of society. Previous owner got a new jeep liberty. It's been a bit snowy here lately but the saturn would have made it through with some snow tires... or any tires with tread on 'em.
That I was able to seal the deal without being beaten to the punch, I guess, means people aren't that wound up about gas prices. Or their vanity keeps them in something fancier/newer.
Coincidentally, when gas mileage drops in the terlet and the heat turns lukewarm, why not ask a mechanic if there is anything that can be done? A simple thermostat is all it takes. Probably greater than half the cars I've bought have run cool when I got them. We don't have tailpipe sniffer tests here and the onboard computers don't really detect fault. Neither do the drivers. Everybody's numb!
It is probably a poor sample, b/c I usually buy way below market value, from super morons who want the things gone.
They say this state isn't rich, but people have enough credit to treat cars as disposable...
