Used Saturn L-Series for Sale near California

This is a fantastic appliance vehicle. It gets very good gas mileage for a midsize. I have seen up to a 34 mpg tank average on long trips (San Antonio and back on one tank, A/C off). The only repair it has needed was a new A/C compressor because the electric clutch burned out and was not separately replaceable. The compressor swap took about an hour, and was incredibly easy. Although I have not done much in the way of repairs, all maintenance tasks were pretty trivial and everything appears to be laid out in an easily accessible way. Utility is decent, although the cargo space is not as ample as my former Roadmaster (which this car replaced), it is still sufficient for all of the hauling tasks I've had to date, and the roof rack is there for plywood or mattresses. It is comfortable, and while not powerful, it is sufficiently quick to keep up with Texas traffic or cruise at 75 comfortably. Steering is light, and the chassis's responsiveness feels more like a compact than a mid-size. This particular model also has a decent set of features that I wouldn't expect on a true economy car. Cruise control, auto-headlights, traction control, side curtain airbags, keyless entry + alarm, power locks and windows. It's no luxury car, but I've long since learned that luxury does not equal reliability or ease of repair.

This car has over 146,000 miles and still runs as well as when I bought it. The only major work done has been replacement of ignition switch (at time of purchase) and new hood latch. The 4-cylinder is great on gas (32-36 mph on highway) and has great tork.

Performance- Pretty Good Built Quality- It sometimes squeaks, but nothing major Appearance- Looks good on the inside and out Cost of Ownership- The gas mileage is great, especially in the city Fun Factor- It's a lot of fun to drive around in

I absolutely love this car. I've had it for about 4 years and it has been very dependable. I've had minor work done such as brakes and getting the A/C fixed and it's held up very well. It's an amazing car.

Teh car is pretty good for make like Saturn.I thing people are underestimating the Saturns. Performance is great, the 3.0 V6 offers a lot of power, this car pills tires like crazy.The automatic transmission responds perfect. Build Quality is high, despite that I bought the car used, I only replaced the blower motor for the heating, noting else(Probably I'm lucky:)). The parts are way cheaper than the ones for my old car(Audi A4), which nowadays it is very important:) For cheap car, my Saturn has everything from leather seats to traction control-fully loaded with extras. This is was the S- class of Saturn. Definitely better gas millage than the Audi A4(despite that the engine of the Audi was smaller-2.8 V6). For the four mounts I have the car, no money were spent on maintenance(accept the Blower motor-$300). It is definitely a fun to drive if you like the pilling tires noise:)
