The 1998 Saturn SC for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1998 Saturn SC for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 1998 Saturn SC, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. NHTSA has 13 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and engine cooling and service brakes.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 1.9L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 8.7 L/100 km, means roughly 26 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.49, and a 300 km weekend about $40.47. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
How big it is
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 311 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the SC first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Picking a year and a trim
Within the 1998 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
