Description:

OK, here's the deal. I'm selling my 1997 Saturn SC2 that I bought in February 2000. It's the DOHC motor with the stock 5-speed manual trasmission. I've modified the hell out of this little car, though it doesn't necessarily look like it. It runs great, drinks the cheapest, nastiest swill possible to call "gasoline", uses very little gas at that (~40MPG highway), it's impressively quick for the front engine front wheel drive econobox that it is, and it handles better than it should. I think it looks great, even after all these years I think the styling of the car is better than most any other "sporty" car out there. Nearly everything I've done to the car has been in order to make it more fun on back roads, road courses and be a car used to autocross in the DSP class.
It's time for me to move onto something else to use as a toy. So this means that I need to sell this car as I can't justify having more than 2 cars for myself. Of course I'm willing to negotiate on the price. I'm even more willing to negotiate on the price if this car will be showing up at local autocross courses, PIR, and especially if you know what the GRM $20XX Challenge is and this car will show up there.
I've had a hard time convincing myself to sell car for the past 3 years because it's dead-nuts reliable and it's just so damned “chuckable”. I've driven and owned other cars that will/can/have gotten me in trouble with the laws of both man and physics, but this damned Saturn hasn't, and leaves me smiling like a schoolboy after a stolen kiss on the play ground.
Built in 12/96 but with only 106460 miles on the car and owned by me since I bought it with 32K on the clock. This "Blackgold" car is about a shade "golder" than Subaru's gold flecked black paint that was on the 04/05 Impreza cars, and is similar to a cup of steaming hot black coffee. I've done a bunch to the car over the years and am not sure I'm remembering everything.
