Saturn parts aren't too hard to find & should be less expensive than other models. They don't hold their value all that well, and haven't for a long, long time which means it doesn't take much of an accident to total one (so they end up in the salvage yard). I knew one guy who used to buy them wrecked and rebuild them for resale; he said they were really easy to work on. Even the roof was easy to change. Now, these were the "original" Saturns from the 90's and I'm sure the later models were much more in line with other GM cars. Also note, GM didn't just stop providing parts. It used to be that you could buy any parts for any GM dealer (say, a Buick fender could be bought from a Chevrolet dealer) but you could only buy a Saturn part from a Saturn dealer. After they were discontinued they chose select dealers to handle parts/service. I'm not sure what the current situation is. I do know GM charged very high prices for some of those parts.
