[Amc-list] Saturns....and AMC Content

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or as my youngest son used to say:  Saturens.  

I sold a Rambler back seat assembly to a guy on Los
Angeles last year who had bought a 64 440H from an
auction, missing a back seat.  His place of business
was a repair shop where he repaired, rehabilitated,
and sold nothing but used Saturn autos.  He had a car
lot out front on the street filled with nothing but
these cars.  

He recommended the 95 and later models, as I remember,
but I don't remember why.   He said the body work was
a no brainer because of the removable panels. He
bought the cars from classified ads and auctions. If
there was actual structural damage he usually parted
out the car.  The drivetrains and interiors are nearly
all the same.  He had a team of Mexican mechanics who
could remove/replace the components and a little paint
booth where he could spruce up the cars.  He said
Toyota and Nissan had nothing better in that size car.


He recommended this type of business (using Saturns)
as a viable sideline.

To John E.: Used Saturns are common in the junkyards
here (and I image so in Phoenix too) so if you do
screw up a body panel while "learning" I think you
could easily find a replacement...cheap (AMC content
again). 

My $0.02.
