Buying the 1995 Saturn SL
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1995 Saturn SL for sale by us right now. The 1995 Saturn SL for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 355 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and seats; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Engine and fuel
Under the hood: the 1.9L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 8.7 L/100 km combined: about 26 litres every 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $13.49. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,500 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the SL
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. For luggage, 340 litres means about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Who rents the SL
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the SL for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the SL first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.49 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $134.90 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
