Up for sale is a 1999 Saturn SL2 with 138k that was donated to charity and sold at auction. Vehicle had one suburban owner since new and no accident history. Car looks black but is really dark purple under light and has manual windows, locks and JVC head unit. Car has 4cyl (1.9L twin cam) engine and auto transmission. No rust or dents on body but rust starting inside door panels in the rear doors. Everything works on car and it starts, runs, drives and stops with no issues, smoke or noises.

Main issue is key is stuck in ignition which is a common problem with Saturns. Solution is replace lock cylinder (plenty Youtube videos on how) which I will have shop do in a few days if it doesn’t sell quick but price will rise.

Minor issue is driver's side visor is peeling and center armrest plastic is broken.

TCG price of car is $800 as is but will rise with the price of repairing the lock in 2 days.

Update: Car is currently in shop. It wasn't the lock cylinder it was actually a faulty shift interlock that didn't allow the keys to be removed (ignition turned off) because the gear shifter wasn't fully locked in Park. It should be resolved tomorrow.

They ended up replacing whole shifter assembly vs just the shift interlock because there was an issue with a locking rod (that was root cause of other issues). Locking rod did not allow Parking lock mechanism which didn't allow ignition to release key. Everything works now!

Final price is 1045

I got tired of looking at busted sun visor so I replaced that also. I will cover that bare patch next to visor with material off the old visor so it won't have any visual detractions. I drove it 80 miles today from city to burbs and back with no issues. It is a smaller car but I am 6'04" and still fit in it.
