BOUGHT A '96 SL 2

but it has a substantial tranny leak. i'll take it to my tranny lady and see if it won't cost too much to repair. if so i'm taking it back to the dealer.

my only complaint about the 96 is that it's so ugly. imho the origianl saturn body (up through 95) was the best looking small car every built; then in 96 they drove it in the deep end of the ugly pond and it came out worse looking than a neon. i always figured that's why s series sales peaked in

ANd I hate the '95 and earlier bodies and I like the '96;s. I went to the dealer and saw he's now got a '96 dark green with less mileage, I'm going to try to turn this one in and buy the green one. Its important to get a used car with less then 100,000.

Don't forget the locking gas cap and either 'the club' steering wheel lock or an attack cat . If it were me, I'd put a land mine under the driver's seat... but then again, with my forgetfulness, I might just forget to put back on the safety before getting in...

Unfortunately the green Saturn was sold, but I'll keep asking this dealer if they got more Saturns, he gets them at auctions. Thanks for the good advice Oppie, my 5 "attach" cats are useless, they hide under the bed when strangers approach. Today I'll get an oil change, couldn't yesterday, JiffyLube said they won't have Saturn oil filters until tomorrow. Will get a locking gas cap and a Club today.

to each his own although i agree with your taste in color - i'm anxiously waiting to see how a cypress green ion looks.

i have to admit that the 96 wagon looks pretty good, it was the humpty-dumpty rear windshield on the 96 sedan i didn't care for. i'll have to admit that though that the 95 style rear windshield is pretty dated now.

(and i bet i'm still not going to get a mention for typing a whole other message without once hitting the caps key - my sarcasm is just wasted ... lol )

Hey Ron, I don't know you, I'm just browsing, BUT, you at least used the shift key for the parentheses. :)
