pioneer~saturn is selling the satty

dougie (@pioneer~saturn) can't get on the forums any more, so he just now asked me to put the word out to the community as he's moving onto bigger and better things.

most of you og's know him from here and caco, but he's vested 10 years and a large handful of rebuilds into the 97 sl2 with most all of the progress logged between here, caco, smd, and facebook.

its possibly one of the most unique and awe inspiring sound machines ever built. set up for three 15's as it sits for high fidelity playback, but not really a show stopper without more power and larger subs.

i got my first 155+ demo from this thing 10 years back when it wasnt as easy to acheive playing music, so i kinda hope he can find a buyer that will keep it as the loudest saturn.

1997 Saturn SL2

$7,000

Dayton, OH

Bassheads only, not a daily driver. Has been beyond-babied for over a decade and is in fantastic shape for the age, mileage, and weight added. If you love tons of air movement and lows in a small car, this is definitely one of the best out there. Has been garaged and taken care of.

I do not need to sell this and is my baby, so the price is very firm and I will not sell it for less (just wanting to put it out there as it would expedite some large purchases that I am planning) Having said that, the 225a Mechman alternator will need rebuilt and Mike Singer says he can do that and I would entertain taking the cost of the rebuild off of the purchase price.

Also, the reverse gear went out years and years ago...hasn't really been an issue thus far if you aren't used to it, but these transmissions can be found pretty cheaply if you'd want the reverse gear (I made ramps to pull up onto in the garage so that it could nuetral-roll out of the garage)

$7k? lmao!

That price is a bit hefty. I had a 97 SL1 and it was a great car for what it was. Mine went away for $215 when they hauled it off. It would definitely have to be the right buyer.

Ya.... that thing isnt selling for 7k. Ive seen much larger builds sell for less.

But i do remember this guy. If its the same guy, I think its on an Aq20k and the enclosure is some weird horn design

I remember him from caco...however I'm finding it difficult to believe that he's unable to get on the forums....

Just saying 7k for a saturn that has 200k + miles, needs a transmission, needs an alternator, and doesn't even list what equipment or numbers it does and he "will not sell for less".. Not going to happen.

Ya...someone that's not willing to negotiate with a buyer, yeah good luck with that. Because thet's the 1st thing they ask...what's the lowest you'll take.

tbh, i think the price and details are just his way of weeding out the riff raff of vague inquiries and patronization with low ball offers right off the bat. ive known doug for a long time and even im puzzled as to why in the hell he shot a rocket in the air carrying a price tag,... i mean, he's a pretty fart smeller, so it's either that or he's delusional.

i think im gonna have tell him good luck and wash my hands of it, but i also know hes been off work for the last week drinking like a fish,.. so it may have been just the sauce talkin'. ill find out when i tell him his price is not well received.

And the reverse doesn't even work....nice. Who's gonna spend 7k on a car that doesn't even go in reverse?!

Deff not 7k... more like $500-1000, I just bought a 2011 Tahoe for $5900
