Near Geneseo actually.
I picked up a 97 SL2 automatic from Craigslist yesterday. 91k miles and very little rust - bottoms of doors, some on sills, some on outer belly pan weld. Looks like a cool little car for cheap. It is to replace a 2005 Elantra that I hit a deer with. I commute 65 miles round trip each day so mileage is important.
About all I need to do right away is replace a muffler clamp and maybe the muffler and find a factory service manual. I am going to hit the rust spots with some rust converting primer and touch them up.

Welcome to the Forum. Try to stay away from deer, as they will play havoc with a Saturn.

They do enough to an Elantra. They tally stopped at about $5200. I sheared the hood latch so the hood came up at 55 on a two lane. Lots of fun. My tailwheel airplane training kicked in and I drove it like I was landing a tail dragger where you can't see over the nose.
