Saturn S-Series SL1 (2002)
for sale

Price: US $1,499.00

Description:

'02 SL1, Good condition, with 209, 000 miles. 1.9L SOHC, automatic transmission. Actual 34 mpg hwy, 26 city. Cold A/C, good tires. $1499 or best offer.
This is my daughter's car, used to commute to UWF in Pensacola every day for the past 2 years, 140 miles round trip. She got married and moved to Hawaii, so I'm selling the car for her. I have a valid Power of Attorney to sell the car.
Body is good, brakes replaced in 2012 including new rotors and calipers. Stereo works fine. Rear seat back lays down in 60/40 configuration to open into the trunk. It's big enough to sleep the average person or two if you ran out of gas in the middle of the night in an area without cell coverage.

HERES THE DETAILS MOST PEOPLE WONT TELL YOU:

Transmission rebuilt in late 2013 at 169, 000 miles, and new transmission valve body will not shift into overdrive. Other gears work fine, and still capable of maintaining 70 mph and getting 34 mpg at that speed. After fighting with the transmission shop for 3 months, they refunded my money and told me to keep the transmission.
I replaced the valve body myself with a re-manufactured valve body in mid 2014, and it still won't shift into overdrive. Other than that, it runs very well. Without the O/D, my daughter got a consistent 34-35 mpg on her commute, without fail. (She just had to slow from 80 mph to 70 mph on the interstate) :-)
Car has an annoying buzz at idle when stopped and in gear with the A/C on that sounds like it's coming from the exhaust shield near the catalytic converter. Has to be at the right low rpm in gear and stopped to buzz, though.
For a Saturn with 209K miles, this car is in very good condition, but I rated it as only Good because of the trans overdrive issue.
The car may be seen and test driven only by a licensed driver, by appointment.
I need to sell this, so make an offer. The car may be seen at Resurrection Anglican Church in Shalimar, Florida.
