1996 SATURN WAGON ECONOMICAL AND PRACTICAL 4 CYLINDER - 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION CLEAN INTERIOR WITH CLOTH VELOUR SEATS, A FEW STAINS IN THE CARPET BUT AGAIN, VERY MINOR FOR ITS AGE. IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED - NO WEIRD SMELLS - SMOKE FREE - ETC. LOW MILES FOR AGE! A GREAT DAILY DRIVER! GREAT FOR TRANSPORTING STUFF OR PETS A FEW MINOR BODY DINGS ON FRONT HOOD AND PAINT TRIM AROUND TOP OF DOORS IS SLIGHTLY PEELING - BUT HARD TO SEE UNTIL UP CLOSE. REST OF THE PAINT LOOKS GREAT. CAR HAS SMOOOTH RIDE. NEW FRONT LEFT WHEEL BEARING, NEW BATTERY, TIRES ARE A FEW MONTHS OLD - VERY VERY RELIABLE. AC RUNS COLD - HAVE NEVER HAD TO RECHARGE IT. CLUTCH HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOFT - BUT NOT THIN. SHIFTS WELL - TRANNY GOOD. WILL NEED A MUFFLER SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. I HEAR A SMALL HOLE, BUT IT IS STILL SMALL AND NO REAL ISSUE. THERE IS A BOLT IN THE COVER GASKET THAT BROKE AND SO SOME OIL LEAKS OUT THERE. I DO HAVE TO ADD OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES - BUT I ALSO BLOW UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY EACH DAY 120 MILES TO WORK WHICH MAY EXPLAIN SOME OIL USE. - NO SMOKE - RUNS CLEAN AND PASSED INSPECTION WITH FLYING COLORS. THE BRAKE ANTI-LOCK LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE MY MECHANIC BROKE THE PLASTIC PART INSIDE WHILE REPLACING THE WHEEL BEARINGS - AND IT WAS NEVER IMPORTANT TO ME TO CORRECT, SINCE I KNEW IT WAS A DUMMY LIGHT WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION. ASK QUESTIONS EARLY - I NEVER WATCH CLOSE OF AUCTION! THANKS FOR LOOKING. On Sep-22-11 at 05:23:05 PDT, seller added the following information: 9/21/2011 - Mechanic's statement: Engine is a DOHC and the current mileage is 171k miles My son put it on a lift and states oil leaks are from head gasket and timing cover because the owner prior to use allowed it to overheat. A pulley is pushing the timing cover. tires 75% tread, ac works well . Abs light on because of speed sensor. All in all, a good reliable car - but needs the oil issue repaired to be super economical. Car does not run hot and all other items found in good working order. (.. milage is at 171 and this is a daily driver for us, so it may be another 200 miles or so by the time it sells)
