To add to Oppie's post: The L-series with V6 all have timing belts NOT
chains, if your salesman told you this, tell him get lost and talk to
someone in the service dept. who knows that the frell they are talking
about. The average life of this belt is between 90 and 100K miles and the
water pump will also need to be changed. This V6 is a cousin of the Caddilac
Catera http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_L-series and puts out around
180 hp.

Do not be swayed by online reviews, this is a very good car and wagons are
rare to find. I know someone who has over 300K miles on his because he
religiously maintains it and has all service issues and recalls done
immediately, which it sounds like this previous owner also did.
