I don't know how rare a solid-body W116 is but price seems like crack territory
for a car with a half-gutted interior and running problems.

I agree on the price. My parents had a Saturn years ago and it was on par with
a low-end import economy car as far as interior and accessories. It was good
mechanically, at least they never had any problems. I have always thought of
Saturn as that sort of car and never really realized that they

Could that be it? The package didn't make it to your local area due to that?

I just put in three type A LED replacement bulbs in my basement fixtures. A

I was at Costco this afternoon and they had these LED lights you screw

Mitch will probably know. $4,500 seems a bit much for a defunct car brand,
fourteen years old, with that many miles on it.
Overall, it doesn't look like too big of a turd. You're way better off buying
this than the same year E350.

Other than the semi-boring color scheme, this looks nicer than I expected. Nice
interior. I keep stumbling across Saturn models that I never heard of before.
I wonder how they are to own?

That's actually not a bad price. Try for $16K and Bob's your uncle.

You KNOW it wasn't the engineers that came up with that idea. That change,

Nope. There’s a little tube about 2” long that sits above the drain plug in the
pan that sets the level of the fluid. To drain the fluid you have to poke it
out with a drift after you open the drain plug, it just fits in there with an
o-ring.

That looks nice.
It’s probably been forever that the fluid has been changed. Apparently the
