I am selling my red 1996 Saturn SW2 Wagon with 119,000 miles starting at a very low no reserve price (clean NJ title in hand). NJ inspection sticker through 2014. No dents. Paint is pretty good for its age. I spent $450 alone within the last 3 months. It has been my daily driver, until developing an engine knock 2 weeks ago when it was really cold. The day after I spent $150 for a new front tire and an oil change at Firestone in Berkeley Heights. Everything works except for right rear passenger window doesn't go down. Heater blows hot and A/C blows cold. Transmission shifts smoothly through all gears. Car tracks straight and doesn't pull when braking. No shakes or vibrations at any speed. Car never flooded or damaged.
While the engine starts up instantly even in extreme cold weather every time, there is now a constant knocking. Buyer should tow the car. One mechanic thought it is an upper engine tensioner issue while another said it is the bottom end and will need a rebuild or engine swap. It has a 1.9L DOHC 4-cylinder with automatic. Shifts smooth in all gears. Never been in an accident, drives straight, gets 24 mpg. Front wheel drive, power windows and locks. Keyless remote included. Cloth interior (no tears). Non-smoker car. Recently replaced the wiper motor (cost $300) in November. I have receipts for both recent service items. I am the second owner, was owned by a women on Long Island NY who purchased it new from Hempstead Saturn dealership.
The Kelly Blue Book Value on the car without the engine issue is over $2,000 (KBB.com). Estimated repair is $500 on the low side and $1,000 on the high side. Still below the cars value. I would have fixed the car and kept it, but have a 7 month old and pre-2000 cars don't have baby seat anchors (the LATCH type in the seat) so I want to get a newer used car. Car will need to be towed even though it runs as to avoid damaging the engine anymore. Available for inspection and viewing. Car is also listed locally and I reserve the right to terminate this auction early.
I require a $100.00 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of winning bid. The balance in cash in exchange for when you pick up the car and I sign over the clear NJ title that I have in hand. Last bid wins.

Report: Saturn owners offered $2,000 to stick with GM products
Mon, 15 Feb 2010After its decision to euthanize Oldsmobile, General Motors knows exactly what happens when it mothballs one of its brands: GM loses market share to the competition. The General is trying to stop history from repeating itself with Saturn customers by offering $2,000 on the hood of every car and crossover donning the ringed planet badge. Automotive News says the offer actually started on February 2 and runs until the end of March. To be eligible for the $2,000 bounty Saturn owners must have leased or purchased their Saturn at least six months ago. Interestingly, those owners don't even have to turn in their Saturn to be eligible for the cash.
AN reports that research company R.L. Polk says even before Saturn went on the endangered species list, it lagged other GM nameplates in the all-important aspect of customer retention. The mass exodus from Saturn loyalty predictably intensified at the end of 2008 as customers became anxious over the future of the brand. For its part, GM insists that all Saturn warranties will be upheld and customers looking for service can still go to a GMC, Chevy, Buick or Cadillac dealership.

GM calling in 56k Saturn Aura sedans over shift cables
Thu, 08 May 2014General Motors may have made a few mistakes when it came to the whole ignition-switch debacle, and it will likely be dealing with the consequences for some time to come. But you have to hand it to Mary Barra and her team, because they're determined to clean house and avoid the same mistakes. That's why the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Detroit has been issuing recalls left, right and Renaissance Center. Aside from those vehicles fitted with the faulty ignition switches, GM has recalled over 50,000 Cadillac SRXs, another 50 heavy-duty pickups and some 51,000 full-size crossovers. There are bound to be more to come, and now it's issued another 50k-unit recall over faulty shift cables in the transmission.
The recall affects 2007 and 2008 Saturn Auras fitted with the four-speed automatic transmission manufactured between April 24, 2006, and October 31, 2007. The recall doesn't affect models equipped with the six-speed automatic, or for that matter any of the Aura's Epsilon platform-mates like the Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6, Opel Signum and Vectra, Saab 9-3 or - carrying over from Fiat's aborted partnership with GM - the Fiat Croma, although many of those models used the same 4T40 transmission employed in the Aura.
In the affected vehicles, the shift cable might fracture while in motion, preventing the transmission from shifting into Park or the ignition from switching off, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures could lead to the car rolling away. Hence the recall of 56,214 units in the United States, owners of which can expect to hear from their dealership in due course to have the necessary components replaced.
