Used Saturn L-Series for Sale

I love this little car. I can get in and out of tight spots and there are no real blind spots - its very open and easy to see your surrounding areas. The gas mileage is great. I love the space in the trunk - for such a small car there is lots of room. I also find there to be plenty of in cabin room. Its not the most stylish car out there but it gets the job done. One complaint is that the paint was peeling in this strange way when we purchased it - it almost looked like a leper! But repainting only cost $300, which was very fair. Other repairs have been minimal and the price is fair. It handles well - brakes, makes tight turns, and leaves you feeling in control. The only complaint I would have in this area is that acceleration was slow sometimes.

I think I like the Saturn S series I drive. I bought it off my son when he was planning on buying a new one. It is a 5 speed manual transmission. This particular type uses a very cheap plastic bushing and it breaks so often that if you type in "Saturn mt bu", Google will fill in the rest and give you several pages of results. Fortunately it is an easy fix. The car is small, short to the ground, and if you are stiff or not doing well in the shoulder or knees, it can be hard to get out of. That being said, it travels well in the rain and very seldom got stuck last winter in the ice and snow. This is the second of this type I have bought. I guess I was missing the little red Saturn that I owned several years ago. Except for the color, it was almost the same car. Rattles, bubble gum and duct tape feel and all. I did miss it and am looking forward to using it to keep me going the short distance to work this winter.

It's a great size if you don't need to transport more than two people. The backseat is way too small to be in for very long, but the front seats are plenty roomy. The roof is tall enough there. The car is very low to the ground, which I love. Normally that would mean the roof is low and I hit my head when I go over speed bumps, but that never happens in this car. It has great pick up and acceleration. It's a 5 speed and handles so well. It's silly, but I feel like a race car driver on the highway. The engine is loud enough to hear when to shift and to feel exciting, but quiet enough that it isn't obnoxious. You don't have to turn the radio up over the engine. Speaking of, the stereo is surprisingly good. The trunk is a wonderful size, and if you need to fit something in the back (I had to move bookshelves) you can lower the back seats, which expands the trunk space by another three feet.
