Finally got my first car :) Its a 1997 Saturn SC2. I'm glad, its a nice car! I can't drive it around much, I don't have my licenses yet, I'll be getting that next week or two sometime, and I still gotta get a Tag and insurance on it...

The car is sitting my garage right now until I can drive it legally. I've driven it around the block a couple times the other day, it was great! Sporty little car, I'm really enjoying it! I still need to get some tires for it, a CD player, and a few other maintence things.

Anyway... since I don't have a digital camara handy, I got the digital pictures from the seller. Uploaded to my CS clans little album thing, and are here for you to enjoy!

I do hope that *bling* *bling* gleam off the bumper in the first pic is from the sun and you didn't add that yourself...

But nice car, especially for a first one. It'll feel sporty but restrain yourself...

You're not going to get much play with a Saturn, dude. ;)

Heh, if you require a certain car to get some action you need more help than a car can provide. :p

If he PIMPS it out with BLING BLING, GLEAM GLEAM, HUGE ASS STICKERS ("Powered By Saturn") with racing strips and mods like BIG NoIsY exhausts, suspension, new rims, and if he puts in Big BASS... If he does it, the HOES will come.

I didn't doctor any image other than the rear shot with the licenses plate, other than that, all pictures are original from the seller.

Forget the powered by saturn sticker, put a big V-TEC sticker on it!

Thanks!

74700 miles on it, and my family and I paid $4700 for it. Overall, its in great condition, a few things could be better, but they are just minor things.

My best friend has a 95 SC1 with over 150k on the odometer. I think he's changed the water pump and maybe an alternator. By far his biggest problem was when someone broke into his car to steal his radio.

Saturn's aren't my thing, but I think you could've done better on the price.
Especially seeing how flooded the used car market is right now, along with the poor economy.

psteng19: What would have you recommended? From what I researched, this car was perfect for my needs, sporty, good gas milage, 2 door, recent, decent looking... and it was cheaper than most other cars for insurance/maintence costs.

I think that's a GREAT first car!

Mine was a 1960 Covair! (back in 1969)


ANyone dissing you should go screw themselves. (Not much of a punishment, I KNOW! ;) )

Thanks. I think its a great little car for me. Looks nice, good gas mileage, (somewhat?) reliable...

Wow, a Corvair? Haha, thats so old school man. Never seen one in real life, but they look huge in pictures! Reminds me of the muscle cars back in the day.

Anyways, bump for the morning crowd... :)

Thanks
