Hi,
I deliver pizzas and was looking for a good relialble fuel efficient car. I stumbled upon to Saturn Sl1's. One is a 95' with 160,000 miles on it and is a 5 speed. The other is a 96' with 160,000 on the body and 50,000 on the engine and is an automatic. I've heard some people say to stay away from the automatics. I guess my question would be which one should I get?

This is my opinion and should have the car checked by locale trusted shop for evaluation

Basically you have same cars one an automatic with 5o k on the engine and one with 150k on the engine
automatic tranny have some issues but not that would stop me from buying it
also 150k on the clutch you may in need for a clutch very soon and you still have 150k engine
verse 50k engine
I would take the auto unless you like shifting in stop and go traffic fun fun fun

good luck
