Re: '96 Saturn sold, '01 Saturn finally on the road!
Saturns are awesome. I bought my 2002 SL new, and it has 208,000 miles. Original just about everything. No timing chain noise/replacement yet. My highest tank was 49.0 mpg, did it twice. Usually, low to mid 40's. Tires at 40-42psi, coasting down hills (pulse and glide on highway, 70 at the top of hill coast to 55, then gas it). K&N air filter put in at 12,000 miles. Original: engine,clutch,trans,axles,exhaust,back brakes. Need to put 1st back brakes on it. Only put new tensioner, idler pulley (both Saturn parts), and the intake manifold gasket. One oxygen sensor, one battery. Good reliable car. Good luck with your SL's. I'll miss mine someday when its crashed/stolen/woreout!
