Bought the car this summer with 46k miles on it and an extended warrabty. This is our 2nd Saturn (1st one was a 1994 SL1 - purchased new). Am very happy with the car, though I am not sure I would have paid $21k for it brand new. Very comfortable, smooth ride, good engine. As always, service at Saturn has been excellent.

This was not my first choice, but my wife loves it. The Camry was as much fun to drive as a toaster. This car offers more involvement, for a fraction of the cost. A trunk latch was loose on delivery, and the headliner buzzes. But it has been as reliable as my beloved Honda.

I swear by Hondas, but when we got married my wife had a 2002 Saturn L200. So, let's itemize repairs in the last year: 83k - body control module fails. $500 at the Saturn dealer. 85k - catalytic Converter clogs and fails. Dealer wants $1500 to replace. I did it myself for $400 in parts. 88k - brake master cylinder goes, this would probably be $250 job at the mechanic, but I did the it for $100 in parts. 94k - The timing chain stretched and jumped time, smashed valves and ruined the engine. I got a used engine and upgraded timing kit for $900 plus $600 in labor for a mechanic friend to drop it in. For reference, at a dealer a new engine is $3800 plus about $1600 in labor.

I bought top of line L300 expecting to have it for a long time. Problems started at about 33000 just shy of warranty and keep mounting up, past warranty. Bad tires, tie rods, noises,now steering rack. If you're interested in a Saturn make sure you're up to date on recalls and TSB! Horrible, horrible car.
I miss my L300!

I just traded my 2002 L300 in yesterday at 135K miles, but I felt so sad driving away from it because it truly was a great car. I bought it used about four years ago and have put over 100K miles on it in all my commuting. The car was excellent in rain, snow, wind, and on the freeway, and all the comfortable amenities such as the sunroof, great stereo, leather heated seats, etc., will be greatly missed. It started needing significant repairs fairly regularly around 115K miles and I finally decided to cut my losses and get a new vehicle. I have a little remorse now!
