Anyone have any idea what is the best course to follow here. Left front bucket seat edge totally worn out to the springs. Should I take it to a seat repair place (if I can find one), or are there new seats for a 94 that would be a better choice?

I went to a scrap yard and bought replacement seats for $50. This was for my

Was going to suggest the same thing. The seatback in my 94 SL2 broke to the point I almost crashed as I was driving and the next thing I know I'm almost laying flat! LOL (You never realize how much you need a seatback until you have to try driving home the rest of the way without it! esp a stick shift!)
Anyyway, I went to the junkyard and walked around checking out other Saturns for a good seat. Unfortunatley I couldn't get one that matched my interior, so I had to get a set of seat covers. I wasn't too picky as the car had high mileage on it and was a back-and-forth to work car. If functionality is what you need, this is the way to go...

Hi, Fred, Perhaps a junk yard would be a good place to start, at least to get a base cost for the seat itself?

Heck our local U-Pull-It sells seats for $10 each. your car is 15 years old - value is probably in the XXX range. Pull the seat - measure the mounting spacing - take the seat off the frame - measure the mounting spacing. with this info go to your local yard and find a replacement seat. You can probably get a matching pair for WAY less than a shop would cost to rebuild.
