Used 2000 Saturn L-Series Consumer Reviews
Run from this car
This 2000 LS Saturn has serious problems with the timing chain. Run as fast as you can from this car. Because of Saturns zero tolerance engine, once the timing chain breaks - and it will, be prepared to spend at least $4,000. Saturn will NOT help with repairs. Please read the recall investigations about this car. Only recommend this car to your worst enemy.
It's been good to us.
This is my wife's car and she is 100% satisfied with it. The only thing that has been replaced is the liner under the hood about four months ago. Of course it has been tuned up, had tires and battery replaced and one taillight last year. Everything still works fine including the sound system, air conditioner and power windows. It has always been serviced by the dealer. It has always been garaged and it still looks new.
My Saturn Review
This is my fourth Saturn and I'm not impressed. We bought this as a used vehicle with only 29,000 miles on it. Have had to replace key ignition twice, car feels loose and gas mileage is poor -- poorer than I thought I'd get with the V6. My first three (SL2 x2 and an SC2) were great! There is definitely a difference in build quality between Spring Hill and Wilmington.

i bought the saturn LS2 back in may of 2003, it is my first car that i bought from a dealership and i love it, i think that saturns are a very reliable and a just an all around good car to buy. i think that the next car i purchase is going to be a saturn as well. saturn is a good car company for people of all ages. i am 18 and i love it, and my grandpa is 85 and he is jellous and wants to buy one himself. saturn is a great car!
Junk
I bought this car used and had it for a little over two years before it died. First it was little things (that were costly to fix) went down the tubes on this car. Started out with the automatic shut off on the turn signal breaking, turns out you have to get a whole new steering column. Three of the four speakers blew and the tape deck quit working. Then the power locks went on the fritz. Next it was the odometer that went (no exact mileage makes it hard to sell). Then the blinkers quit working. Finally the engine blew. There were other things that went wrong under the hood also. I am willing to bet that I stuck more into the car than i did buying it.
