Clean little SL1 up on eBay.

This one's even better. Only 16k miles on it, leather interior, beautiful. The buy it now is a little high, so I guess if it has a reserve, that would be too.

Don't ask me lol. My expertise is the Ion, not S-Series. I can appreciate an S-Series, though.

[simkid5614]

Its a 98'

[Zosozeppelin]

Didn't they switch to a digital odometer halfway through the '98 model year run? I'm not positive on that.

This dealer in particular always has them. But you're right, they're always waaay overpriced.

The switch to digital was shortly after that one was built.

Autotragic SL2 with 56k for less than $3,000. It looks in decent shape, could be a great deal for somebody.

Must see if u won't to save on gas.

Whatever that means...

77k, and it looks a lot like that 56k one. But the guy could also go in the bonehead list cuz he says it's an SL1 but then says it has the DOHC.

Also, they switched over in the middle of 98, that means this car was made in the first half of the year.(I think)

These are always fun. Aren't they?

This is a 2000 Saturn Ion, equipped with a rare V-4. If you have any questions, just kall or tex the guy.

I have to admit, it's a fantastic find. It's gotta be the only one in existence.

And it's obviously among well taken care of vehicles.

If I had to guess, I'd say it was taken at the body shop or mechanic. The car to the Ion's left has a messed up hood, and both the car and truck have aftermarket rims. Also, they're parked on gravel. That's a tell tale sign. If the spelling isn't bad enough, then calling the engine a v4 and saying the year is 2000 makes me want to offer him 1500 tops. I wouldn't believe a word he says to try to get 3200 out of it.

This isn't a bad deal for the New Orleans area. They usually like to charge 5-6k for these.

Wow 245,000 miles $900 s.it the rims r worth that the car looks to be ok shape

I'm curious about the interior, looks like they've done some custom work to it. I see tan leather seats (stock looking), but black door panels with what looks like white stitching on the armrest. Could be cool or awful, depending on the quality of the work.

Oooops, wrong thread. Between the hideous roof job, the nauseating paint color, the tacky hood-bra that does a lame job of covering up the mismatched paint and the fact that it has a GEN-2 FRONT END (can you say "at-fault crash?"), the smoked taillights that do nothing but make it look like the exhaust is blowing soot, the '70s-era body-side moulding, the '80s-era low-res pics blown up to a size that induces even more nausea than the paint color, oh and I almost missed the missing passenger mirror, this is squarely in bonehead territory. A grand slam plus, in fact.

Edit - wait, it gets better! The WHOLE front end is gen-2; hood, fenders, bumper. Look at that wonderful match-up between the fenders and front doors......
