Buying the 2001 Saturn SC1
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 Saturn SC1; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Thinking about the 2001 Saturn SC1? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Reading the spec sheet
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who rents the SC1
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space, size and seats
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the SC1 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the SC1 on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Year and trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
