However, one tire has a slow leak that will need to be sealed.Inside the cabin, the ceiling liner is loose in the back, and tends to droop down. We have been fixing this with sewing pins.Miscellaneous: The reverse lights, the horn, the windshield washer fluid pump, and the back 2 power-windows do not work. The front 2 power-windows and the rest of the lights work fine. The tint on the back windows and rear windshield that was installed after-market is loosening (see pictures).

1999 Saturn SL2 - Manual Transmission - No reserve

171,412 miles
Owned by one family.  My father was the original purchaser when the car was new.  He eventually sold it to me when I was in college, and I later sold it to my then girlfriend and current wife.  We are now selling the car because we just purchased a new vehicle, and no longer need this one.  It has been maintained quite well over the last 14 years.

The car does have signs of use (mainly cosmetic), but it still gets from Point A to Point B consistently.  An ideal car for a high-school or college student, or just another vehicle to get around town.  It gets outstanding gas mileage (close to 27 mpg city), and is fun to drive because of it's manual transmission.

Other Notes and Facts: 
The car had a CD player and fog lights installed after-market.  Those both work great!  Tint was also installed after-market, but as you can see from the pictures, the tint is loosening in spots. 
The back bumper, the driver-side rear-view mirror, and the rear driver-side vent window have all been replaced at various points over the last 14 years.  The car comes with a cigarette lighter/car charger port, but the owners have all been non-smokers, so the car is odor free.  Within the past year, the car's Coolant Temperature Sensor and the front brake pads have been replaced.  The air conditioning and heat work great!  Needing Attention:  The mechanic says that the EGR Valve will soon need to be replaced or cleaned, and the one tire with a slow leak will also need to be mended.


Terms of Sale:  The winning bidder of this vehicle is buying this vehicle "As is - no warranty".  Local only.  The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up in Glenview, IL.  Payment must be made in person with cash.  Pickup must be made within 7 days of auction completion.  Only then will the title be released.  The title is on-hand and ready to be signed.  Any questions, please message Kyle and I will try to get back to you ASAP.  After sale, seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs.  Serious bidders only, as you are entering into a legal contract. 

Thanks for looking & Happy Bidding!!!

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

GM nixes fleet-only Chevy Captiva Sport

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Well, guys, it looks like Saturn is finally dead in the United States once and for all. According to Automotive News, Chevrolet has discontinued production of its fleet-only Captiva Sport - a rebadged Saturn Vue - after three years on the market. The very last US-spec Captiva Sport was built in Mexico in August. GM will still produce the vehicle for sale in the Mexican market, as well as for export.
GM initially offered the Captiva Sport for rental fleets as a way to free up capacity for the sightly larger Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers, which, according to AN, had been in short supply. The Captiva Sport also did a nice job protecting the resale values of its other similar-sized CUVs because they didn't have to play in the fleet market. But with Chevrolet preparing to launch its subcompact Trax CUV in the US, the automaker will soon have a clear, three-tier crossover lineup without the Captiva Sport. The Trax fills out the bottom end, followed by the Equinox and the seven-passenger Traverse.
For now, renters seeking a taste of 'Classic GM' will have to whet their appetites with the fullsize Impala Limited.
