Used 2000 Saturn L-Series Consumer Reviews
Okk but can do more for your money
Had the car for 3 years.. was my first car. Strong engine with great acceleration but also repairs and nickle and dime me at times. For a first time driver it would be a good car. I believe there are better cars with more options and saftey and reliability. Its 17 years old so I cant complain to much. Got me from school and jobs to back home.

Excellent Car!
My wife bought the car in may of last year and since then it has been to Disney world 3 times with no problems. The only thing done to it other than oil was a new set of tires earlier this year.
Not bad for the buck
Bought LS1,4 banger, back in 2004 with about 75k. Now 50k later, I can't really complaint about my car. Sure I had some repairs but it only totalled about $850 in 4 years. Not bad in my opinion. It makes some squeeks and thumps now and then, but hey it has over 120k.
Joke of a car
Having owned this vechicle for over 8 years, I can say I've not experienced any major problems. This is because there are only 52,000 miles driven. This car has to have the worst resale value. Any repairs almost have to be done at the dealer. Part stores do not carry anything. Dealer repairs are too high priced. Saturn wanted to charge me $32 to change a 3rd brake light bulb. It cost $7 just for the bulb at the dealer. I bought 1 bulb & changed it myself in 1 minute. Saturn has a serious problem with the timing chain & zero tolerance on their engine. Do a little internet research & you will see that Saturn has a major problem on their hands that they are trying their best to avoid.
Not Really a Saturn
Overall, I was happy with my S-Series Saturn so I decided to get an L- Series. This car is not up to Saturn quality. It was fine for the first year. Then when two years came around the transmission started to make noises and the electrical is acting up. Burned out dash light is $100 to fix, power door lock and cruise control broken. Now the Service light goes on and off and Saturn service doens't know why. Should have kept my old Saturn. Too bad since this car has the best performance with the V6 in its class. Handles great and lots of room. The perfect mid-size if the quality was there.
