Bill,  I own a 94 Saturn SL (Saturn of Albany)... and while the car is
allegedly over-priced (no dickering), it is the best car I have ever
owned.  I screwed up my windshield wipers in a storm last year
(accidently turned them on while snow was frozen all over the
windshield), and they fixed it without even asking me how it happened.
Other than that, not one single problem after 3 years and 33k miles.
The engine doesn't even have a drop of oil on it, and it hums better
than it did when it was brand new!

Overall? Saturns are expensive, but my experience has been great.  

In any case, don't let any of the liar dealerships rip you off.  Read

More than my 2 cents... good luck.
