Asking $1,800

• 167,007 miles
• 2nd owner
• 36-40 mpg year round
• New pads/rotors & drums/shoes/wheel cylinders
• Burns ~1 quart of oil per 3,000 miles
• AC is out of order - I had it recharged 3 years ago, the compressor worked but the refrigerant leaked out after a couple of months
• Tires are OK

The pictures don't show it well but the hood is damaged from hitting a deer in the Fall of 2020 - the drivers side fender was also replaced then. There is also some minor hail damage on the roof - the previous owner lived further South.


The car was originally an automatic. I bought the car in 2016 with ~116,000 miles and swapped in the engine/transmission/wiring harness/etc. from my previous Saturn (also a 2002 SL1, bought at ~87,000 miles) which did not pass inspection due to frame rust and was at ~112,000 miles . During the swap I replaced the timing chain/tensioner/guides, serpentine belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, water pump, thermostat, and clutch. I also upgraded the roll pin that holds in the diff pin. When I had the engine & transmission apart they both looked stellar.
