Saturn LS1 Reviews
Bought this car used for my wife in 2003 with 21,000 miles and priced under $10,000. As part of the sales agreement I bought a bumper-to-bumper extended warranty (6 years/80,000 miles). The car has needed some warranty work to fix the radio and the steering shaft; but , all-in-all it has been a very reliable vehicle. Wish they were still making them!
PS - This ten year old car still has less than 60,000 miles!
It is a nice car but maintenance is costly.
