Used 1999 Saturn S-Series for Sale near Yakima, WA
In a design innovation reminiscent of the Ion, Saturn added a third door on the driver's side to the 1999 Saturn S-Series coupes. As for changes across all trims, mechanical improvements included adjustments to the powertrain, suspension, and brakes. In addition, prices for coupes experienced a minor decrease. Other cosmetic changes include 2 new colors and new fabric for the SC2.
With the new third door on the coupes, the trim lineup increases to 9: the 2 door SC1 and SC2 coupes, the 3 door SC1 and SC2 coupes, the SW1 and SW2 wagons, and the SL, SL1, and SL2 sedans. The SC1, SL, SL1, and SW1 have a 1.9 L, 100 hp I4 engine while the SC2, SL2, and SW2 upgrade to 124 hp. All trims have standard 5 speed manual transmission with the SL as the only one not offering optional 4 speed automatic. Sedans and wagons seat 5 while coupes still seat 4. Gas mileage across trims comes out to around 27 mpg in the city, 37 on the highway. In addition, the trunk holds 11.4 cubic feet in the coupes, 12.1 in the sedans, and 24.9 in the wagons. If you want to avoid paying extra to stay cool, only the SC2, SW2, and SL2 come with standard air conditioning.
Besides the third door on the coupes, Saturn maintained the same core features for the 1999 S-Series while making some minor adjustments. Consumers have the same issues they've always had with the S-Series: excessive oil consumption, cheap materials, and road noise. While some would say that Saturn's frugality re-affirms that you get what you pay for, most Saturn customers would say that the S-Series gives you just enough to do what you need to do.
4.1 Overall rating
(67 reviews)My Saturn owes me nothing. I bought it used in 2004 for $1900 with 60,000 miles on it and currently have 170,000 miles on it. The car still gets good gas mileage (37 avg. with a 5 speed) and I have only had to perform routine maintenance and replace a starter. The interior of the car is a bit Spartan and small, but for one or two people, it is an ideal choice for everyday commutes or even road trips. I have driven my Saturn to 31 states plus Mexico and Canada and she performs just as well in the desert as in the mountains. I even regularly strap my canoe to the top of the car and it performs as if nothing was there, I would say if you are interested in the SL1, definitely get a 5 speed because power is lacking in the automatic and buy low. These cars are good for 200k miles plus if you treat them well.
I love this car. Paid 5 grand for it and it was worth every penny.
The 1999 Saturn SL-1 is an affordable offering from Saturn which is not only easy on the eyes, but also on the wallet. Available with either a 1.9L single overhead cam (SL-1) or a 1.9L dual overhead cam (SL-2) and a manual or automatic transmission, the SL-1 is typically found used in the $3000-6000 range in excellent condition.
Great buy when I purchased the car used for $3500. It had 100,000 miles. One owner... a school teacher that kept all her service receipts. 2.2L engine with a 5 speed manual transmission made this car sporty and fun to drive. Note it is guaranteed to burn oil. Just keep a couple quarts int the trunk. Check the oil level about every two weeks. The interior was simple and neat. One complaint being tall (6'2")' the seats are designed for someone smaller. All plastic body will never rust. besides burning oil I have never heard a complaint about this model.
very nice clutch, very good build quality, excellent engine and 175k miles and you really cant tell a t a l l !! its awe some and super fun to drive. pretty too. i would like to buy another one of these!
