The 2000 Saturn SC1: before you buy

A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2000 Saturn SC1 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and latches/locks/linkages; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Best uses
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Practical details
As a car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
Rent it for a week first
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the SC1 tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2000 Saturn SC1 from us first.
