Used 1997 Saturn S-Series for Sale near Huntsville, AL

My mom bought this car new and gave it to us with 60,000 miles on it. It now has nearly 190,000 on it and burns only about 1/2 qt of oil every 3000miles and still gets 34mpg. The car has been pretty much trouble free and is easy to work on when necessary.

Loved the car, my favorite that I've owned in fact. Only qualm was that the axle broke for some strange reason, other than that, great gas mileage, and a sporty look and ride. No complaints, would own another in a heartbeat. I wish I had never sold it. I miss that car.

This is the second '97 Saturn I own. My first was an SL1 that my son drives to college now. I missed that car and bought an SL2 as my commuter. I get above average acceleration and good fuel economy (26-city; 35-highway)for the engine and transmission combination (DOHC with 4-speed automatic). It has 90,000 miles and has used up about half a quart of oil to date. Classified as a compact car, it's just what I need. I'm a teacher and an amateur violinist. The trunk is big enough to fit four music stands and there's more room when you lower the rear seat backs, enough for a cello, a viola, and two violins, plus the four music stands. What do I love about this car? Cold air conditioner (needed in South Texas), easy to park, easy to service (I do my own), inexpensive up keep, inexpensive parts (when needed), and best of all: it was made in the good ol' USA. The SL2 has better seats and better handling with bigger, wider tires compared to the SL1. I don't have any complaints about the '97 S-Series Saturn and they make great in-city runabouts. I do take exception to their audio systems. The CD player is not the best out there.

I have enjoyed driving this car. It has been reliable. Once around 200,000 miles started to top off oil when refueling. only issues is sometimes hard to start, 1 power window periodically fails, 1 electrical short, and now tends to run hot. Other expected maintenance, replace alternator, starter, battery, tires...

My Get Round Car. Does the job. Gas Mileage is terrific through especially with the price of gas right now. A little road noise. No upgrades but regular maintenance keeps it up and running and the paint looking nice as well. Leather interior is comfy but a little cold in the winter and can do a great job of burning you in the summer. I LOVE MY CAR!
