Saturn LLC was established in 1985 as a relatively independent subsidiary of General Motors, operating for 25 years before GM discontinued the brand in 2010. During that time period, Saturn produced a number of unique models to tackle the compact car market, including the S-Series line. The SL2 was one of the first models out of the gate, and now, this remarkably well-preserved 1995 Saturn SL2 is up for sale in Pennsylvania.
Hailing from the final model year of the first-generation SL line, this 1995 Saturn SL2 is covered in attractive blue paint, which seems to have maintained its original luster, even 25 years after the vehicle left the factory floor. The styling is very ‘90s, with rectangular headlamps, squared-off body proportions, straight lines, and a pointed nose. A little body damage is noticeable on the front fascia. Meanwhile, the rear end is punctuated by horizontal tail lamps that stretch from fender to fender.
More ‘90s-tastic cues can be found inside, where grey upholstery covers the front bucket seats, door panels, and rear bench seat. Standout features include AM/FM radio, speed-sensitive steering, and four-speaker audio.
As for the greasy bits, this 1995 Saturn SL2 is powered by the DOHC 1.9L LL0 inline four-cylinder engine, which produces 124 horsepower and 122 pound-feet of torque. Output is routed to the front wheels by way of the MP7 four-speed automatic transmission, yielding upwards of 34 mpg on the highway and 24 mpg in the city.
Now, this 1995 Saturn SL2 sedan is up for sale at New Holland Auto Group in Pennsylvania for $3,769. The odometer reads 91,373 miles.
Does this Saturn have what it takes to put a ring on it, or does it have you dropping out of orbit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Nearly 4 grand for that one? Mmmm, I’m thinking more like $2,500. There’s nothing special about it nor is it super low miles. Basically, it’s a car you would buy to drive. And if well taken care of, miles doesn’t bother me much. I just picked up a 2006 Buick Lucerne CXL with 4 holes (in other words in Buick talk, it’s the oil leaking Northstar v8). I paid $2,250 for the car with 161,300 miles on the odo. The car is near perfect both inside and out. No engine issues, but it does have the typical few drops of oil under it after parking for a few days. Super car to drive, fun and really loaded up. But my point is that I paid a realistic $2,250 for it and it’s a much nicer car than this Saturn. But as they say: There’s a butt for every seat.
Your Lucerne also has almost 70,000 more miles on its clock. It’s no wonder that it was cheaper to buy. While the big Buick is more luxurious, many people these days would describe it just as you have this SL2; a daily driver. “Nicer” is subjective.
I owned five Saturns between 1991 and 2016; all of them were fun in their own ways and all were extremely reliable. I had a 1996 SL2 (similar interior, including the Reader’s Digest version instrumentation) but a completely different exterior.
Bad math. 1985 till 2010 is 25 years, not 35. Not only is that wrong but Saturn STARTED PRODUCTION in 1990.
Apologies for the typo
my phone’s autonomous neuromotor must of handed off another of my conversations to some hole in the dirt advertising recording analyst algorithm after capturing some of the key words of a private but general conversation I had with someone, or myself. Saturn SL2, 93, used purchase, ran good for a few weeks, motor noise from engine train, overheating, not starting, disappointing, unable to correct due to high costs of top skilled mechanics, sat for now three months with all but two remaining bolts left holding up the damned oil pan, finished a couple weeks ago with the last loan payment to the guy who knew the guy that unloaded his burnt out junker on my brother for 800 hundred bucks,. What A Junk Ship Flop of a confused automaker caught up in the middle of some kind of corporate STINK of a restructuring where a before executive structure started the Saturn terd ship, and the incoming corporate suit Hated it and launched the unfinished thing before it was fullterm maturation ready to go. What a problem container on four wheels out of the general motors exit gate. I wouldn’t pay twenty bucks for that peal blue broken out of the gate HUNK of JUNK. Key On That Autonomous neuro spy sample stain.
