Buying the 2000 Saturn SC
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2000 Saturn SC for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2000 Saturn SC before you buy one anywhere.
Recalls and complaints
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the figures tell you
The 1.9L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 8.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 25 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.02. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,400 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the SC
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Living with the SC
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 311 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the SC for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Narrowing it down
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,400 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.02 in fuel.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
