I don't know how rare a solid-body W116 is but price seems like crack territory
for a car with a half-gutted interior and running problems.

You just failed the serious buyer test.

I agree on the price. My parents had a Saturn years ago and it was on par with
a low-end import economy car as far as interior and accessories. It was good
mechanically, at least they never had any problems. I have always thought of
Saturn as that sort of car and never really realized that they

I just put in three type A LED replacement bulbs in my basement fixtures. A
lot more light, and probably half the power usage. More expensive that

I may have to clean that bench off and use it now.

I was at Costco this afternoon and they had these LED lights you screw
into a regular bulb fixture, they have 3 parts you can adjust to aim
them to the side, down, whatever. Pack of 2 for $20 on sale. I had
seen these things on web adverts and they were a bit more than that,

Mitch will probably know. $4,500 seems a bit much for a defunct car brand,
fourteen years old, with that many miles on it.
Overall, it doesn't look like too big of a turd. You're way better off buying
this than the same year E350.

Other than the semi-boring color scheme, this looks nicer than I expected. Nice
interior. I keep stumbling across Saturn models that I never heard of before.
I wonder how they are to own?

Same. Have also seen this with other vendors. I think the 5-10 days quoted on

That's actually not a bad price. Try for $16K and Bob's your uncle.

You KNOW it wasn't the engineers that came up with that idea. That change,
"Eliminate the dipstick and fill tube." has Management written all over it.
I've experienced this myself, some years ago now, regarding
And then you have the adapter that fits in the tube that you have to use to
pump fluid into it?
I’m surprised the DAS wouldn’t give you fluid level like it does for engine oil.

Nope. There’s a little tube about 2” long that sits above the drain plug in the
pan that sets the level of the fluid. To drain the fluid you have to poke it
out with a drift after you open the drain plug, it just fits in there with an
o-ring.
It’s an abysmally stupid design, a dipstick/fill
Can you see the level using the DAS? I would expect to take my laptop and scan

That looks nice.
It’s probably been forever that the fluid has been changed. Apparently the

based on that (and how would he know it’s low, there’s no dipstick) then do a
