So where the #$%$@# was this thing a year ago???? I ended up buying a brand new car!

1996 Saturn SL1 Two Owner Reliable - $1250 (Concord)

Mother & Son-owned Saturn since purchased new at Saturn Nashua. This 5-speed, thrify car has delivered over 180K very satisfied, reliable, and regularly serviced miles to us and is ready for many more. Overall clean condition inside and out, all options still work including AC, power windows, AM/FM/Cassette stereo. Always starts first try, idles strong, no smoke from exhaust, no leaks, no dummy lights on, behaves as it should. Most service records available as well as original owner's manual. Past few years has seen new thermostat (11/5/14), front brake pads, exhaust from cat back, tune up, clutch, alternator, battery and all-season tires with one year on them. Head gasket was replaced at around 115K miles. Has after market alloy rims on it with 4 matching General tires with plenty of life in them, as shown in pic. And will include set of original steel rims with original hubcaps in great condition that have matching summer radials used for one summer. Also comes with two new matching seat covers, tan color like interior, for front seats still in the box. Rear door jams have rust and hood has a couple of small dents and quarter-sized rust bubbles on it but car always passes inspection, next one due in November. Very good running and cosmetic condition for the year and will serve you well. Still delivers 37mpg average in the summer and is the cheapest vehicle on the road for insurance, registration, gas, and maintenance. Great in the snow, too! This was our daily driver for the past 18 years, now just a grocery-getter, but it's time to pass it on to someone else as there are now too many cars in the driveway. More pics & VIN available upon request, can be shown virtually any time with some notice. Please Reply to listing with interest/questions. Cash only.
EPA 25/36 (29) or 22/32 (26), I don't know why they list two ratings for what's probably different trim levels without telling you what the levels are. The old time EPA ratings were 29/40 (33) and 25/35 (29).
