Default i fire myself now.

in 8 days ill be diesel less but its for the better. trying to keep up with student loans and rent plus daily stuff it was time for the ol girl to go bye bye.

her new owner takes her next saturday..
and ill be the proud new owner of a coughsaturncough

but the price was right..
93 sc1 130,000 4cyl 5 speed power everything.. 900 bucks..



as long as the owner now doenst back out.....

get another ctd in a few years..dont hate me i like th new payment..

0.00 a month is a lot better than 418.. and insurance is 60 bucks less a month..

oh and we wont start on fuel

ill miss the ol girl but ill have somethin cheap and somewhat reliable..

but going from 378 hp and 779 ft lbs of torque to 100 horsepower and 120 ft lbs of torque is going to suck..

Mobs, you know you will always be welcome, hell we have all known each other too long, and it doesn't matter what somebody drives. As was said you have to do what you have to do, and I think you made the right choice. That is not a bad looking car at all. I would have bought it in a heartbeat. I hope it all works out for ya.

um.. yah.. i should also mention just cause i have a assoc in criminal justice and working on being a paramedic should also mention im ase certified and manage a auto parts store :P

actually saturns are great cars.. in the 8 years ive been in the auto parts business i rarely sell anything but pads /plugs and wires for them.. unlike other vehicles like gm 3.4, 3.1 where were selling intakes, coils, distributors etc all day long...

ill still be around

So, Dave, is the stuff you listed in the classifieds section still for sale?



Sorry you had to sell it - I know it was your baby. But, it was a lemon.....later on, get a 12V or a 01/02 and youll be happy as a clam (if that makes any sense)....
