I would only suggest buying a 97SC2 to a person who is a mechanic. Since buying my sc2 i have taken it to my saturn dealer 4 times for an oil leak. One time they left one of the bolts up next to the windshield rather than attached to my car. My most recent encounter was having my car towed in for a bad alternator and yet another oil leak and unattached back seat that magically popped off one day when i hit my brakes. While this is not the worse car ever made It is second only to that of the Ford Pinto.
Works for me

Mine is the standard 5-speed with A/C as the only option. It has 117,000 miles on it and the only repair I've done on it in the last 5 years is to replace an upper motor mount (myself) I got a cream puff; I've never owned a car that went this long with no major or even minor repairs. It's my commuter car and I drive it hard. I simply have changed the oil, filters, and had the periodic maintenance performed on it. It runs the same as the day I bought it.

I've had my SC2 for about 5 years and put over 80K miles on. It would now have 105K but I hit a tree head on at 65mph, so no more SC2. However, my only injury was a couple scratches on my right hand. Very safe car. Fun to drive after adding a few performance modifications. Handles well through corners. It was a good experience, but I would not buy another. I had to replace the starter, fuel pump, alternator, sun roof module, driver side door regulator, radiator, water pump and battery. It was practically new again at 105K miles. Have not had a good time dealing with the Saturn dealer.
I LOVE THIS CAR!!

I love my car to death. It is so much fun to drive. It is very peppy and has amazing pick-up. I would recomend this car to anyone (that doesn't have a family). It is a great single person or couple car. Trust me when I say, NO BABIES!
