Used 2001 Saturn S-Series for Sale

Don't let the small size and sporty features of the 2001 Saturn SL2 fool you. This vehicle is as hardy as they come. My Saturn is at just under 200,000 miles and has only recently begun to have problems with the radiator. All other parts are the originals save for anything that is supposed to be changed regularly (or as regularly as a college student could afford to change it). The body style is sleek and reminiscent of the fancier sports cars but with the price tag of a more modest sedan, and the ride is as smooth as they come. I've taken this car off-roading (no kidding!) and in places where some mid-size SUVs might have trouble, but the Saturn SL2 took it like a champ. The back seat is roomy enough to fit two large German Shepherd Dogs and our camping equipment fit snugly in the trunk. I recently had to upgrade to a larger SUV due to more dogs and I actually cried when I had to "retire" the Saturn to my garage. We still use it as a second vehicle occasionally, and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat if they still made them. If you happen to come across this vehicle at the used car market, purchase it! You won’t regret it. I highly recommend it. It is safe, reliable, and will get you where you need to go (and beyond).

The 2001 Saturn SL2 is a compact sedan, that can easily fit four–five people inside. With available features like power locks and air conditioning, it is a simple and efficient car. The build quality is decent, though at its age, it is prone to have things break down, specifically things that have been glued or that are made of plastic on the interior. Saturn as a company shut its doors long ago, so anything other than basic functioning repair parts will be hard to find new (all new parts are through GM now). This car is great for helping friends move. It doesn't hold furniture, but the trunk and back seats can store an amazing amount of boxes for transporting!

This car is fairly decent for a low cost vehicle. I have owned this Saturn for 15 years and it is still clinging to life, so for the amount of money paid for it I think it has definitely paid off. The longevity is the reason for the 3 stars I gave it. The build of the car isn't great though, and many of the parts are clearly built cheaply. As a result it has broken down on me many, many times. The one positive side to this is that most of the breakdowns have been things that were fairly inexpensive to fix, although very inconvenient.
