I have a 2000 SW1/SWP Postal wagon that I purchased three years ago and have virtually rebuilt the entire car. I purchased the car with a bad engine and it needed to be rebuilt or replaced right away. Since I purchased the car in 2010 I spent an insane amount of money on repairs (over $15k) to make it usable at first and after I no longer needed it for my route, just to make it a nice drive able car for my family.
- The chassis has 193k on it and the engine has 70k on it (I can verify the mileage). The list is very long as to what has been done to this car over the past three years. I have receipts and documentation backing up everything I'm putting in this posting. I also have an attic full of spare parts, door panels, seats, fenders, alloy rims/tires, engine parts, electronic parts, alternator. I found another 2000 SW1 in a salvage yard recently and stripped it of all the parts only on a RHD Saturn, so I have many spare parts. Car comes with 2 keys and two fully functional key fobs. The rear floor of the car has been reinforced with a custom cut plywood insert to carry heavy mail trays and packages. The carpet covers it up so it does not look any different than a normal Saturn wagon.

22: New paint job in 2012 (five year warranty)
23: Cruise control (yes on a SW1 !!) works great !!!
25: 15 inch factory alloy rims and tires (have three spare rims w/tires at house in Florida) Two of the tires currently on the car will need to be replaced soon. They are not bald, but are down to about 10k miles left of them.
26: Front and REAR - DISC brakes with ceramic pads (front has drilled rotors) This is not a typo. The rear brakes have been professionally modified with Saturn disc brakes. The original drum brakes were replaced about a year ago. The doner vehicle was a 1993 Saturn SW2 (they came with four wheel disc brakes) The calipers were used as cores for re-manufactured calipers from Auto-zone. I also have many spare brake parts (you go through brakes fast delivering mail)
The car is currently in Rockford, IL (temporarily) but has never been in the snow, it has always been a Florida car and originally came from Saturn of Bradenton, FL near Tampa. I know the original owner.
The car runs fantastic and everything on the car works. If you are reading this you know how hard it is to find RHD cars and the Jeeps are in excess of $30k. I'm an OTR truck driver now and am on the road all the time so have patience, I will get back to you.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production
Tue, 16 Mar 2010Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery
Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.
