Tupperbox 3 of 12: 1992 Saturn SC
This next car is number 3 of 12 in a special feature we are doing inspired by a vintage Car and Driver article that covered cars offered for new in 1992 for less than $10k and had air conditioning, a rear defroster, and an AM/FM radio. These economy cars compact economy cars were ranked by a random group of college kids and this is number 3. Today’s car isn’t the cheap as dirt SL sedan, but it is the SC coupe. Both were made from Rubbermaid, but the coupe was “sportier”. Today’s SC has less than 40k miles and looks strangely in super nice shape.

Who’d have thought that you could find a one-owner Saturn SC that was only driven 1300 miles per year for sale on AutoTrader. Slushbox or not, this car would bring HUGE money at one of those stupid online auction sites, but let’s not let that happen. Friends don’t let friends bring their trailer. Buy it. Drive it. Sell it for a reasonable amount of money and stop treating cars like beanie babies.

Looks like someone bled out on the front floor………..
I don’t ordinarily like those 50 shades of mauve color schemes but this looks strangely alluring.
Note to all you non photographers: this would probably look like crap in direct sunlight, whoever photographed this knew what they were doing. Props to the detailer as well.
Repeat to self 30 times “mouse belts, slushbox, Denver in January “
I took one ride in a Saturn. It was a brand new SC that a coworker bought and she wanted to take us to lunch. We wound up pushing it the last 100 yards back to the parking lot.
These cars are cockroach tough, except the odometer. Probably broken.
Sorta shaped like a roach too.
