I had a 2001 Saturn SL2 I got in 2006 with 79,500 miles and it was alright for about the first year. Then afterwards it just started falling apart, even with how well I cared for it and kept on top of the maintenance. Mine had all the same issues besides maybe four or five.
Dude I feel so bad for you. I REALLY hate Saturn cars and are very aware of how cheap and shit they are. I hope you can invest in something new and better ASAP!
if buy a old car that has been abused then dont complain i have had 4 saturns and have had no problems my current saturn i bought 2007 113k miles and is a good driver saturn aura xe
That car is old, high mileage, and clearly used hard judging by how filthy and broken it is. Take care of the next car. Not saying Saturns are great quality cars (they're not), but no matter what car you buy, if you treat it like crap, it'll return the favor.
I knew Saturn was cheap and awful with quality but when u pulled the key out of the ignition with the car on I was like oh shit how is it possible to make a car this bad! 😂
If it's any help I just picked up a '99 Corolla for $950. It won't win any beauty contests but it's solid as a rock. There are good cars out there selling for next to nothing. Good luck!
That saturn must have been rode hard and put away wet because mine is great , it's a 1996 with 290k miles on it. They need to be well cared for and have maintenance done on them. Somebody who didn't know shit about cars must have owned it before you. Now i do agree with you on the interior of Saturns they are cheaper than a half off sale at the dollar store
Charlie Lainez The Sky is an Opel GT with a Saturn badge super glued onto it. It’s not actually a Saturn. Opel also designed and engineered the Aura and the Astra. And it’s true that the Opel-designed models were pretty good. I’m talking about the vehicles actually designed and engineered by Saturn themselves.
Okay, here's an update-the engine went out for the third time at 180,000 miles. I'm driving a Toyota Camry with 240,000 miles and EVERYTHING on it works. And stuff doesn't fall off of it as I drive along. It's funny, because the same car also saved my sister from HER Saturn when it disintegrated at about 150,000 miles, so you may be able to see a pattern here. I have had a wide range of vehicles-VW, Mazda, Jeep, BMW, Isuzu-and most of them had over 200,000 miles (The BMW had about 400.000 miles on it when it got rear-ended), so I am used to vehicles that last. There's a reason Toyota is doing well and GM went bankrupt.
I junked it. The engine went out again, the electrical system totally glitched out, the clutch hydraulics went out, and the car only had 170,000 on it. So I said forget it and got a Toyota. 240k and still runs perfectly-and all original 😃
I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. I would also like to point out that Toyota isn't my favorite brand-that would probably be Mazda (if price were no object, it would be BMW). But that's not even the point of this comment-what I'm saying is that my family has a history with multiple examples of both the Saturn S-series and the Toyota Camry. The Saturns were both one-owner cars before we got them (the first with only 38,000 miles and neither one could make it to 150,000 miles without a major issue. Meanwhile, the Camrys all made it well past the 200,000 mile mark with no issue worse than a shorted-out seat belt sensor (caused by a spilled cup of coffee). Even their air conditioners still worked perfectly. My BMW had about 400,000 miles on it when it got rear-ended, and it had literally had the crap beaten out of it every single day. My Mazda had 210,000 miles on it when I sold it, and it still ran like a brand-new car (I still kick myself for selling it). The garage I used to work at had an old Toyota Pickup with about 500,000 miles on it, and it started the first time, every time (even after sitting for a couple of weeks). I know what a "good" car is, and the Saturn S-series is not one.
They were manufactured for 25 years without a profit.. Can't understand why people are dumb enough to buy their cars in the first place. Listening to how that door sounds when you shut it, tells all. LOL!
First off it an economy car second it's an old car things are going to wear out you're going to have to replace them that's just a fact of life with any car and third if you just took care of it it probably wouldn't be that bad because I have a 2002 Saturn SL1 74k miles and it's perfect and if it's close to 300,000 miles it's just near the end of it's life because cars are usually meant to last 300,000 miles if you take care of them, and you shouldn't judge a brand by one car.
I'm judging the brand based on the four different S-Series models that my family has had. The ones my sister and I had-both of which we maintained-disintegrated right around 140K. And they felt like they were made by Fisher-Price. Meanwhile, the Toyotas our family has had have all made it well past 200k with NO MAJOR PROBLEMS at all. The Toyota I have right now has 265K on it and runs like brand new. Toyotas are better than Saturns. Period.
("Saturd")...Exactly. Saturn really kicked the crap out of the Japanese cars didn't they..NOT. Just another of GM's many failed attempts at making reliable cars. They should go back to the mid 70's and examine what the did to seriously fuck up their manufacturing practices as all their cars and trucks were plagued with problems after the mid 70's.
It’s funny though because the car is already falling apart and he’s literally breaking it and making it worse while he’s filming. He probably wasn’t the original owner and from what I can see on the inside, it’s filthy. Even if he is the original owner, it looks like he hasn’t taken care of his car at all. If he doesn’t like it, just fucking sell it and stop complaining about it.
Cirice Countess I did. To a junk yard. For $73. Cuz it’s a plastic car. Got a Toyota and with 300k still runs perfectly. Toyota is good and Saturn is-garbage.
@ William McLeod . Or to put it a better way--- Theres a reason why GM ( the manufactuers of Saturn) went bankrupt in 2009 and Toyota had one of its best years ever...
At 180,000 my SC2 had problems with the brakes, clutch hydraulics, electrical system-and the engine burned its third exhaust valve and was using a quart of oil every 2 days. Now I have a Toyota Camry. ironically, it used to be my sister's car-my parents handed it over to her when her 97 SC1 disintegrated at 140,000. My Toyota has 260,000 miles on it and it runs like a brand new car-and has saved two different people from two different Saturn SCs which both completely fell apart with well under 200,000 miles.

I have an 06 Ion with almost a hundred K miles on it. Still going strong.
Tony D that’s not an accomplishment my grandmas 04 Volvo has 225000 miles and it still runs like its only 1
Dude, its 17 years old, leave it alone.
Exactly. He is whining about it and there all really simple fixes
+Elite Product nor have we really other than the emergency break thing but ours is a automatic. Like I said there all simple fixes
Virtually every mid-2000s or earlier GM car will fail the one-finger test.
Dude I feel so bad for you. I REALLY hate Saturn cars and are very aware of how cheap and shit they are. I hope you can invest in something new and better ASAP!
They make perfect off road rally cars. All the things you showed can be fixed by tightening the damn screws and bolts.
Point is it's cheaply built and won't last.
if buy a old car that has been abused then dont complain i have had 4 saturns and have had no problems my current saturn i bought 2007 113k miles and is a good driver saturn aura xe

Over reacting, I own a Saturn Sky. I love it.

Reasons why Saturn died

You just don't take care of your car.

The Toyota I have right now has 265K on it and runs like brand new. Toyotas are better than Saturns. Period.
And I'm sure yours is still pretty reliable because it only has 74K. When it gets to 120-130K, get rid of it because it will not last long past that.
Summer sucks. Winter is the best.
Saturn always sucked but chevy Buick Gmc and Cadillac are wonderful
I agree! Or maybe go to dodge
Woah! That fell right out there, Sir! ;-)
American quality at its best
Why would you ever drive a GM vehicle!
I think every car is just a cheap made piece of plastic now a days even super cars
("Saturd")...Exactly. Saturn really kicked the crap out of the Japanese cars didn't they..NOT. Just another of GM's many failed attempts at making reliable cars.

oto169 haha yup 😆
Buy a Honda.

Or to put it another way-there's a reason Toyota still exists and Saturn doesn't XD
GM still exists, sadly...
@ William McLeod . Or to put it a better way--- Theres a reason why GM ( the manufactuers of Saturn) went bankrupt in 2009 and Toyota had one of its best years ever...
YOU ARE SO WRONG SATURNS ARE THE BEST AND THE MOST RELIEABLE CAR EVER BUILT HAVE A 1997 SATURN SC1 GREAT CAR
At 180,000 my SC2 had problems with the brakes, clutch hydraulics, electrical system-and the engine burned its third exhaust valve and was using a quart of oil every 2 days. Now I have a Toyota Camry. ironically, it used to be my sister's car-my parents handed it over to her when her 97 SC1 disintegrated at 140,000. My Toyota has 260,000 miles on it and it runs like a brand new car-and has saved two different people from two different Saturn SCs which both completely fell apart with well under 200,000 miles.
I have a 97 SL2 with 322000 miles! Enough said!
thevez2001 that are shit
well, not all saturds are awesome.
