What is a resonable Max miles I should expect from 95 SW2?
I have an SW2 that is still doing pretty well at 164,000 miles. I've
been pretty good about keeping it up with my services, but I have an expensive service coming up. My friends that tell me that the car will likely be having some serious trouble in the near future as is 'typical' of Saturns. I have been giving some thought to moving onto a new (used) car but would keep this one a while longer if it is a reasonable thing to do. I've tried asking how long these cars typically last at Saturn sations and they always come back with that the cars will last as long as you take care of them well. I realize that there are people who drive their cars 400,000 miles, but I really would like to get a better idea what might be considered typical. Thanks. |

Bill is right. We have 2 SL1's with similar mileage as yours and one is even
on it's 2nd teenager, same clutch! As long as the car is in good shape and not leaking anything, running well and everything works, why not keep it? As far as your friends commemts "likely be having some serious trouble in the near future as is 'typical' of Saturns" not necessarily true, especially if you take good care of your car. Now, if you are driving in excess of 15 - 20k miles a yr, or street racing the car, (haha) then you may want to consider a newer car. I assume thats not the case. :-) Otherwise, with good care you can expect up to 300k miles on a well kept Saturn if maintenance is religiously done. marx404 |
