Bonehead Saturn Craigslist find of the day

[Steve44]

I like that the first Option on the Car is that it is a Sedan.

[madpogue]

No new boneheads to post today (well, not yet...), buuuuutttt....

This thread just received its one millionth view! Only the "What did you do..." thread has more views. Who'da thunk it, all those years ago? Too bad we didn't save more text/info from the earlier finds; there have been some doozies.

I don't know what to think about this car:

http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/m...680848015.html

THIS FULLY LOADED V6, 3.0 AUTOMATIC CAR HAS A/C, P/S, P/Bs, SUNROOF, AM/FM/CD PLAYER AND LEATHER INTERIOR. THIS IS VIRTUALLY A NEW CAR WITH 1400 MILES! COMES MARYLAND INSPECTED.

CAN BE SEEN DURING THE DAY, 8:00 TO 5:00, MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
CALL CONTEMPORARY AUTOMOTIVE AT 301-937-xxxx.

1,400 miles! That is crazy! They are asking $7,500, and it appears to be a car flipper making the sale. Beautiful car, but I don't know if I would spend that kind of money based on the fact that it's still 14 years old.

I wonder what the KBB value is on this?

When negotiating, demand proof of mileage.

[madpogue]

^^^^^ Yeah, special bonehead bonus points for boasting crazy low odometer miles, but NO pic of the instrument panel showing the number.

Good point! I guess the ad does belong in this thread.

[herp444]

anybody had any "good" finds lately?

[Claybury]

Here is one:

1997 Saturn Ion. Must have been a concept car.

Here is an honest seller.
"The car said it needed oil and we didn't get around to it, and now it isn't running. Oops. I don't know how easy that is to fix, but we don't have the money to go find out. So if you can get it out of here, then it's yours for $300 OBO."

This one is irritating.
Seller calls it a "1.8 liter"
Calls it an sl2 when its actually an sc1 (unless they changed everything over to sx1 equipment, its an sc1 mislabeled as an sl2)
Seller has no idea what they are selling, that alone wouldnt make me buy it, but thats just me. If it was taking advantage of their ignorance.....

Saved for posterity, after the ephemera of craigslist casts this ad to the dustbin of history - http://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/is-thi...ius-1783620553 .

(Dis)honorable mention phrase - "beer repair day".

[Waiex191]

If I ever build a 4X4 Saturn it will definitely have an LS4 in it, plus working brakes.

[madpogue]

Oh, and rather than a "Slazer", he should have called it a "Blaturn", which would also serve as an oblique reference to what organ of the body the ride quality of this, er, vehicle most likely affects.....

[dummo]

It's a GT and with 'Lamo' doors (pronounced 'lame-o')

Got alot of roasting to do here on this.
"Lamo" doors. Whoever posting this is probably young, probably not in college, and thought LAMBO DOORS ON A FRIGGIN' SATURN WAS COOL.
2003? Im not 100% certain but i think thats a pre 2000 sc. Maybe a twin cam. That "GT" was a flipping joke i hope. i dont recall GT being a saturn thing man. Mostly ford.

1100 for a 75k mile car is a steal. Just bring along several wads so you can De-RICER-ize this damn thing. Seriously. Youll pick up some chicks with the custom alloy wheels and black finish and OMG LAMBO DOORS. YEP, youre definitely not going home tonight without some company. Untill you hit the gas and meet your passenger with a disappointing tiny FOUR that barely makes enough power for itself. And its amazingly underwheming exhaust tone that probably sounds like a little kid stuck inside of a metal can.
Saturn didnt make the s series past 2003 btw.

^^^^ A bonehead Grand Slam, no doubt. While we're piling on:
- All pics cut off part of the car, and two are duplicates
- No interior/underhood pics
- Dude can't find the punctuation keys on his keyboard, and evidently doesn't quite get the concept of complete sentences

Thanks, dummo, for the screen-shot (albeit from a toy...); this one warrants preservation.

A GMC Saturn, SL2. LOL. It's an L series

This has to qualify as well, no information and a grainy from a distance photo.

^^^^ 'Seller' couldn't bother to get his/her ass out of the driver's seat of another car to snap the one and only picture. I would be afraid of ending up being kidnapped and forced to drink toilet water.
