This car is amazing!

Just thought I'd share this. I work at les Schwab so I regularly pull in cars with 250k+ miles on them even seeing a honda civic with 401k. But today I pulled in a 93 Saturn wagon with the 2.2 dohc 16v. It had 694798 miles on it. I thought I was seeing things at first! The front suspension definitely showed the mileage however but the car ran good and shifted fine, etc. I talked with the owner and he claimed it was the original motor/drivetrain. Idk if I believe him but it is the correct motor for that vehicle. Either way almost 700k! Even if it ain't a ranger it's still pretty amazing-shows what American cars are capable of.

Sorry to burst your bubble. Saturn didn't make a 2.2l engine in 93. It was either a sohc or a dohc 1.9l. Since it was a wagon. It was either sw1 or sw2. 1 is the single cam and 2 is the dual cam. They only had the 1.9l in there cars the 2.2 wasn't introduced until the ions came. Or the ls models.

Someone could have easily swapped that motor in tho. It's not hard.

I use a shuttle service to the airport and they have these vans, not particularly old but I am always amused to see the mileage on them. Most seem to be north of 300K miles and I see plenty in the 400K+ and one in the 700K range.

They are service vehicles and moving lots. Who knows how if they have had engines swapped on any of them tho.
