To all bidders. I will send all bidders an ebay message and require that you send a reply confirming you are a legitimate bidder. This auction is being relisted because the winning bidder jchoi69(3) failed to even have the courtesy to contact me. Bidders like him should be banned from ebay. Please do not bid if you cannot close the deal if you're the winning bidder. I am selling my red 1996 Saturn SW2 Wagon with 119,000 miles starting at a very low no reserve price (clean NJ title in hand). NJ inspection sticker through 2014. No dents. Paint is pretty good for its age. I spent $450 alone within the last 3 months. It has been my daily driver, until developing an engine knock 3 weeks ago when it was really cold. The day after I spent $150 for a new front tire and an oil change at Firestone in Berkeley Heights. Everything works except for right rear passenger window doesn't go down. Heater blows hot and A/C blows cold. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Car tracks straight and doesn't pull when braking. No shakes or vibrations at any speed. Car never flooded or damaged. While the engine starts up instantly even in extreme cold weather every time, there is now a constant knocking. Buyer should tow the car. One mechanic thought it is an upper engine tensioner issue while another said it is the bottom end and will need a rebuild or engine swap. It has a 1.9L DOHC 4-cylinder with automatic. Shifts smooth in all gears. Never been in an accident, drives straight, gets 24 mpg. Front wheel drive, power windows and locks. Keyless remote included. Cloth interior (no tears). Non-smoker car. Recently replaced the wiper motor (cost $300) in November. I have receipts for both recent service items. I am the second owner, was owned by a women on Long Island NY who purchased it new from Hempstead Saturn dealership.The Kelly Blue Book Value on the car without the engine issue is over $2,000 (KBB.com). Estimated repair is $500 on the low side and $1,000 on the high side. Still below the cars value. I would have fixed the car and kept it, but have a 7 month old and pre-2000 cars don't have baby seat anchors (the LATCH type in the seat) so I want to get a newer used car. Car will need to be towed even though it runs as to avoid damaging the engine anymore. Available for inspection and viewing. Car is also listed locally and I reserve the right to terminate this auction early. I require a $100.00 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of winning bid. The balance in cash in exchange for when you pick up the car and I sign over the clear NJ title that I have in hand. Last bid wins.

Regarding Feedback as a Seller: Back in November 2012 last year a fake buyer, candlewall(0) who joined ebay 10/31/2012, to bid on my auction of 2 chairs in November 2012. One chair was damaged and I told him I can still sell the other good one to him and invoiced him for one chair, but candlewall(0) never paid and later put the negative feedback. I was not aware of this action until earlier this year. Click on candlewall(0) to view his feedback and activity (none) to see that this is not a legitimate member. View my feedback history and contact me with any questions. Thanks, Ed. On Feb-16-13 at 13:46:54 PST, seller added the following information: More Photos of passenger side of car, the interior and the receipts for the wiper motor replacement, new tire and oil change and air filter replacement: From an ebay member and Saturn owner who told me that the fix may be easier than I think. I have no idea what is wrong with the car, but have bought another car (a bigger SUV) last week, and want to just sell the car and move on. Note all sales are final and as-is. I do not represent any of the suggested or potential fixes, but potentially the car can be a great deal. It had been over a week since I started the car and I went out today and it fired right up.
