I didnt mean to sound abrasive, lol, but you didnt give us a whole lot to go
by there , Joe, if ya leave us guessing, youll problably get the wrong
answer. :-)

quote: Any issues like the 1995 "oil burner" I've got now or something
similar that
would make me want to avoid this car?

so, yea, you do want specific info on the oil burning issue and it is a
common question here and other Saturn boards, thats why I said to hit that
search button . Theres more info available on that than I can type.

Anyways, now that you gave me more of a clue, you are talking about (and I
still have no clue as to what you are currently driving) you are referring
to a SW2, twin cam engine 124 hp, wagon. 2001, 2002 saw a model upgrade, but
the 1.9L remains primarily the same as before.

It has been reported that some earlier 1.9L TC engines would burn oil. I
have had 3 and they never burned oil. I guess it all depends. Also find out
more about how the former owner treated his SW2, that will tell you alot.
Hope that helps, Best of luck.
