I wouldn’t buy one. I looked at a Saturn up on a lift at a garage, and was amazed at how flimsily it was constructed. I wouldn’t drive one of those things on a highway if you paid me.

Interesting. I looked at a Saturn (sedan) three years ago and thought the interior looked the same way. I was so disappointed I didn't even test drive it.
A year later I bought a Lincoln Zephyr which I've thoroughly enjoyed.

Any car previous to an ‘04 was good. Saturn had a good business model with bonuses, good cars and happy customers and employee's. Then GM started to screw with it to make it like them. Well you see what they got.

I’ll match your expert observation with my experience.

Got wrecked in my 97 SC by an 18 wheeler on I70 in Ohio this spring. He hit my right rear fender and I spun into the center median retaining cables (which kept me from crossing over and saved my life most likely).

Bought a donor car for 150 bucks and put the body panels on my chassis (easy to do).

400 dollar paint job and it looks like a new car.

I’m ready for another 13 years and 140,000 miles.
