Hi all,

I'm a new member, but a long-time Saturn owner. I bought my first one, a 1993 SL, in the fall of 1992 in Rochester, NY. It served me well until 2007, when I had to let it go to make space for our daughter's 1st car. My current one is a 2001 SC1 that my mother bought new in Florida. I took it over when dementia forced her to stop driving. With only 93K miles, it still looks and runs great. I wish it had a 5-speed instead of an auto, but I still like it. Only issue is the 1-touch down on the driver's side window doesn't work, so I have to hold the button. If that's as bad as things get, life's pretty good.

I'm in my late 60s and as I get in and out of the car, I'm fairly convinced that it keeps getting lower. Yup, that's it for sure....

As I'm sure you have discovered by now, it's much easier to just fall into the seat then to use all those other muscles.

Getting out, well that's a different story.

Welcome to The forum. You should be able to score a replacement center module switch for not too much if you are after one.

Yep, welcome to the forum. I moved out of FL last year and don't miss it at all. Deathsentence is absolutely the worst. Depending on what part of FL you live in, there's plenty of salvage yards around. I used to go to a couple of different ones in Lakeland.

My mother bought the car when she was living in Hudson, FL. It's in Rochester, NY now. Fortunately, I rarely drive it in the winter, so it's holding up very well.
