We Flipped a $600 Saturn with Bad Transmission

After having some fun fixing up my Saturn, my friend bought a cheap SL2 with 211,000 miles and some transmission problems. Over the course of two months, we get parts from junk yards and improve its condition before selling it.
The transmission valve body solenoids were going bad, so we acquired another valve body from the 1998 SW2 at Wes Auto Salvage. We also replace the drivers seat and a few broken fixtures in the interior.

I have no reason to watching this, other than TH-cam thinking I'd like it. And by George, TH-cam was right.

Had 1998 Saturn Sl2. Greatest car I ever owned for the 2 years that I had it....

I sold Saturns for five years at Saturn of Gurnee in Illinois. They were good little cars. I had a sl2 with 180,000 miles and it was more reliable than my new Pontiac Gran Prix at the time. I drove past the abandoned Saturn dealership about 6 months ago. I pulled in and walked around the building a bit. It brought back a lot of good memories but was heartbreaking seeing the building in such disrepair now.

My dad bought his 1999 SL2 brand new from Saturn of Frederick, MD. It has around 106,000 on it and it has fallen apart a bit due to lack of maintenance. Now that I do these repairs, I will get around to bringing it back into good order. Anyway, I found the picture they took of him with his new car surrounded by Saturn employees. I like Saturn cars not only for their simplicity and reliability, but also because of the company that they were. He received letters from Saturn even after we moved to South Dakota, and they weren't spam; just friendly updates about what was going on with the company at the time. It was sad when I got to the latest letters from 2009 and 2010 where they had to break the news that they were going out of business. My dad was actualy considering buying a VUE but unfortunately waited too long.
Oh and I forgot to mention in the video that this particular Saturn had about 212,000 on it. I also bought myself a 2000 SL2 a while back that I've been working on for a video. It isn't near ready yet but it's coming along. It has 166,000.

I had a 2000 SL2 and it was a fantastic car, especially after getting some quality sport tires. I seriously regret trading it in for my first Subaru WRX 20 years ago. Having AWD is nice, but weirdly I still enjoyed the Saturn a lot more as it had more low-end power and felt more nimble.

This is a great video. I really enjoyed the background music, it wasn’t overpowering or sound like some lame generic dubstep. Your narration is Huey Long status. Thank you!

Sorry, I meant Huell Howser* LOL

A video involving yet another Saturn, this time from Sioux Falls will drop at some point. It was “fun” to work on.
