It might not dent but it cracks
I purchased a used 1994 SC2 w/ 60k for $7500. Within 2 months I needed a new transmission. Five months later the car was nearly totalled by a minivan but repaired. After that the car was nothing but trouble. It finaly died when the timing chain blew a hole in the head. The only saving grace of the car was it was a blast to drive.
Nice Car--Valve Body Issues
Great little economy car for the family. It gets great gas mileage, comes well loaded with options, has reasonably crisp acceleration for a car it's size. We purchased an SL2 automatic, and have had problems with the valve body. It's been replaced twice in the last two years at $710 for parts and labor. OUCH!

If you get a Saturn, unload it fast
I live around 30 miles from the nearest Saturn dealer. Saturn makes car ownership convenient while the care is young, but they cut corners and the reliability is poor. It's the wrong choice for someone who lives far from the dealership and plans to hold onto the car for a long time.
my car gives me trouble!!!
I have replaced about every part under the hood of my car. I bought it used, and maybe the previous owners were negligent, but my car has given me the most trouble of any car I've owned. I hear Saturns have an excellent customer satisfaction rating, but mine hasn't proven that to be true.
Reliable transportation
Bought the car used with 120,000 mi. on it. In the last 2 years we've put 50,000 more on it without one problem. The interior is small but the car handles great. If you want cheap reliability and operation this is a good choice in my experience.
