The 1997 Saturn SW: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1997 Saturn SW for sale by us right now. Buying the 1997 Saturn SW is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and service brakes; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
The 1.9L 4-cylinder is what moves it, 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.
It is rated at 8.6 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 26 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $39.99 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,450 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the SW
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Inside and out
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA lists 821 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the SW for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the SW for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,450 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $13.33 in fuel.
