Saturn Life Times?
Hi,
I own a 2000 SL1, and a friend of mine owns a 1998.. my sister ownes a 1995 Saturn... so far we are all extremely pleased with them. My question is, how often have you had your Saturn break down on you? What have you do to it (maintance wise), etc? |

Only one highway breakdown due to a Saturn shop screw-up that caused a 94 SW2 to lose all the tranny fluid. Oil changes every 3k mi., misc. filters (incl. fuel), plugs at maybe 50-70k mi. |

My > question is, how often have you had your Saturn break down on you? What > have you do to it (maintance wise), etc? I have a '95 SL2 that has been a great little car. It has about 128,000 miles and except for having to replace the wiper motor, the car has been no trouble. It has a an intermittent problem with the driver's window gets stuck in the up position, but since it's one of our "extra" vehicles, it's not that big a deal. We feel more comfortable driving trucks and minivans, so the saturn is mostly driven when one of our "comfortable" cars is in for maintenance. Brigitte |

I didn't change it on my '94 until 87k, but the factory recommendation
is probably 60k, maybe sooner? The filter is about $20 and not a real simple job. |

On our third - had a 97 saturn that ran very well, and got rear-ended &
wrecked (but we walked away). Replaced it with a 99 SL2, still in use, works great, and have a 2004 VUE, also good (fit a jacuzzi in it last weekend...). |
