[me and my metro]

I have stumbled upon the L series Saturn, it is really an Opel Vectra B. The first one I got was a v-6 wagon, all the v-6 models have an automatic. I started looking for a 4/5 which turns out is a small part of the production. They produced them from 2000 through 2004. The early 4 cylinder cars had timing chain failure issues, corrected by late 03. So early 4 cylinder cars can be bought cheaply with broken chains and bent valves.
I found and bought a loaded 02 4/5 sedan with a bad engine for $400.
I found and bought a mid 02 4/a sedan, clean and low miles for $300.
I fixed the 4/a and am driving it, I will give it to a grandson on his 16th birthday next year.
I bought a late 03 rollover for $100. Good engine and lots of parts.
I sold my v-6 wagon after picking the cream for $1000.
I bought another 4/5 with a bad engine for $100. An extra 5 speed and spare body parts.
The 02s have traction control and abs standard, side air bags and lots of room inside.
