Consumer Description

THE CARIS A 1995 SATURN SL1 WAS BOUGHT IN OCT OF 2002 IT HAD ONLY 38,962 ACTUAL MILES ON IT, WHEN I SEEN THE OVERALL SHAPE OF THIS VEHICLE IT WAS AWESOME, THE LOW MILEAGE WAS THE ULTIMATE REASON FOR BUYING THE CAR ( SINCE ALL I HEARD WAS HOW GREAT THESE CARS RUN) FROM A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN THE AREA IT HAS A SOHC 4CYC. MOTOR,WITHIN 10K MILES OF DRIVING THIS CAR IT STARTED DRINKING OIL UNCONTROLABLY, NOW THE CAR HAS 84K ONIT AND EVERY MONTH IT NEEDS A FRESH SET OF PLUGS IN IT BECAUSE THE OIL CONSUMPTION THAT BLOWS PAST THE PISTONS FOULS OUT THE PLUGS.IN 1000 MILES OF DRIVING THIS CAR IT WILL CONSUME 3.5 QUARTS OF OIL,THE CAR HAS REGULAR OIL CHAGES AT EVERY 2000 MILES(ALONG WITH A CASE OF OIL IN THE TRUNK) NEEDLESS TO SAY THE CAR STILL LOOKS AWESOME...BUT LOVES THAT OIL.*AK
