The Saturn Deference: 1999 Saturn SL2 Homecoming Edition

, , , 3

The Saturn brand was launched by GM in 1994, and in 1999 they released a limited edition of their SL2 that was known as the “Homecoming Commemorative Edition”. I can’t think of a better car to “commemorate” Homecoming than a car that has a history of floating down the road and disappointing teenagers. For a few bucks over the price of the “usual” SL2, you could get special Gold Green metallic paint, tan cloth & leather interior, tan instrument cluster with “Homecoming” graphics on the tach, and “Homecoming” embroidered floormats. With this sort of visionary product planning, it was a SHOCK that GM murdered the Saturn brand late in 2009. Find this 1999 Saturn SL2 Homecoming Edition offered for $2,500 in Timnath, CO via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Rare 1999 Saturn SL2 Homecoming Commemorative Edition!

Saturn was started in 1994, and 5 years later, to celebrate their “Homecoming,” they produced about 4000 of these limited-edition vehicles. The paint and wheels are unique to this vehicle, as is the black badging on the outside, and it’s loaded with upgraded options including ABS & traction control, power sunroof, power passenger mirror, power door locks with remote keyless entry, Saturn security system, cruise control and a rear spoiler! It also has 60/40 split fold down rear seats, rear child safety locks, a cassette player (talk about retro!) and the spare & jack are good and secured in place.

We have had this vehicle in our family for years and it has served us reliably. Let it serve you reliably!

Pros:
Great gas mileage
Reliable
Mechanically sound
Excellent road manners
Good tires & brakes
AC gets cold enough for a polar bear

Cons:
Uses some oil, you’ll have to check it regularly
Rear drivers side window doesn’t work
Upholstery is dirty
Floor mats are missing
Has some battle scars on the exterior

I will include snow chains for this vehicle, a can of Fix-a-Flat (you never know!), some extra LED interior light bulbs, and a transmission fluid filter.
