The Everlasting 93 Saturn
I have been looking around this forum for a few day now just to see how many miles people are getting out of there Saturn.I bought my 1993 Saturn 3 years ago for 750$ and the only problem it had was 3rd gear was gone(5 speed)but I drove it for over a year like that since its my work ride and its all interstate driving.Put a new trans in it last spring and thats all I have ever done to the car other then tires,oil,brakes,ect...The odometer was broke(stopped at 208,000)when I got the car and the guy I got it from told me it was like that when he got it and that he had the car for about 1 year.I drive about 60-80 miles a day so I'm not sure how many miles this car has on it but it doesn't use oil or smoke and it has never even sputtered or anything,runs like a new car.I'm also not sure if its a sc1 or a sc2 but o well...1993 Saturn sc? SOHC 5 speed tbi 4 door.Its got zero power but dam is she a dependable ride:D enuff rave about my Saturn,cool forum btw,lots of good info on here.
|
welcome. SOHC would make it an SC1
|
... and 4 door would make it an SL1, lol...
|
sorry -- can't read -- nice catch SL or SL1 it is
|
Hmm you guys got me confused now:confused:...so its a SL not a SC? vin tells me its got a auto trans in it but its a manual...vin-1G8ZF5590PZ179490 so whats the deal with that?
|
either vin swapped or trans swapped... guess which is easier...lol
EDIT: but then again, swapping a trans is far more legal than swapping the vin... |
Well the vin on the door is the same as the one on the dash and when I put the new trans in it it wasn't a junkyard trans that I took out or at less it was all original stuff in there as far as I could tell,clutch,flywheel and such all looked original to me,all the bolts and stuff looked like they was never touched since factory but there is no telling I guess.....

Welcome
It has a trans swap. The car didn't go down the entire food chain with the wrongs trans. Chit like that is illegal for the dealer back to the manufacturer to sell a new car with an incorrect VIN. |
its a 4 door so it is an SL or SL1 (they had the SOHC engines)
The SC series are 2 door coupes. |

Yes, Welcome to the Forum ...

A 93 is 20 years old, plenty of time to do a transmission swap and have it look like it had never been touched.
'Specially with 200,000+ miles on it. But with care I think you will find a lot of high mileage cars out there, those that are left anyway. Mine is a 94 coupe, but purchased in 96. |
