Thanks, bought my SL1 new in 94. The odometer quit at 176,000 miles and that was 4 years ago. The only parts it has needed has been a water pump, an alternator, soon to be a power steering pump and the drivers side auto seat belt is starting to get stuck at each end. If you move it with your hand, it eventually starts going on it's own. Still getting 38 mpg, gps calculated. It has been serviced every 3000 miles.

Hmmm --
I'm always up to learning new things ... how does one fix the "broken odometer" syndrome on the older mechanical recording system??

Lol, I figured a gear wore out. The speedometer works fine so it is not the VSS. I have always kept track of how much gas and what the odometer reading was at fill up in a little notepad. Now I just keep track of the gallons of gas I put in. At every 100 gallons, she gets a service. Not too interested on fixing the odometer at this point. Let's face it, the car is worthless if I wanted to sell it. I just runs too darn good.
As far as problems, the auto seat belt is really the only one. Went to the junkyard today and got the assembly. Air, cruise, clutch, even CV boots are all original. I can't believe I have had this little trouble out of such a cheap car. Why in the world did GM kill Saturn?
