Saturn L-Series — GM2900 (2000–2005)

The NICB VIN manuals list the Saturn LS and LW series for 2000 to 2002, and the L200/LW200 and L300/LW300 for 2003 to 2005; the 2004 and 2005 manuals also print L300 Base, Mid Level and Up Level, and the 2003 and 2005 manuals name Wilmington, Delaware as the plant. This doc rests on GM's L-Series RPO code lists for 2003 (one list each for the L200/LW200 and the L300/LW300, word for word the same), 2004 and 2005 (L300/LW300 only); the lists give code and description only, so no code is tied to a trim, body style or engine except as the engine and transmission descriptions state. No GM list for the LS and LW years 2000 to 2002 exists in the repository, so those years rest on the NICB manuals alone and no row below is dated before 2003.
