2003 SATURN ION BASE SEDAN 4DR. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 4CYL 2.2 ECOTEC

 

Vehicle runs and drives 100% Great fuel economy, averaging 29-32mpg consistently between in town driving and highway driving. The engine is very quiet, no timing chain noise like most, the oil is regularly serviced every three thousand miles, I do NOT go by the oil life minder, if I did the service interval would be around 5500 miles for and LOF, that's too much in my opinion. The transmission shifts smooth, fluid was last flushed at 120K, the transmission was replaced by the previous owner around 92k. The vehicle was recently serviced at 134000, had spark plugs replaced, engine coolant/antifreeze, front brake pads, rear brake shoes, new tires (Falken Sincera SN211 P185/70R14), and new wheels (14x6"). The vehicle is equipped with the factory am/fm/cd/tape player that still sounds good for a factory system. The vehicle is NOT equipped with power windows and locks, this is a base model sedan. The vehicle is equipped with AC all though the compress clutch was making noise so I put a shorter belt on it so I did not have to listen to the noise, the system is still fully charged, it is possible to replace just the clutch, but I did not want to mess with it until the summer time if I choose to keep the car. The battery was recently replaced last week, the original one was starting to get week and developed a slow crank, so rather than be surprised when it was dead, I just replaced it. There is a minor paint marring on the right rear door, that was left to me in parking lot, I have not tried to buff it off yet, but I will so I figured I'd include a picture just incase it did not come off completely. There is a small dent in the top of the hood, not really noticeable but again just disclosing information. The only majorly noticeable flaw in the exterior is the paint fading on the front bumper, its still silver, just turned to a duller silver over the years. The rest of the vehicle's exterior is clean. The interior carpet is by far the worse part about the car, the carpet has been stained from dirt and grime and looks like it too. I have an appointment at a detailing center to attempt to have the carpets professionally cleaned, I will update a picture after that is completed to see how they come out, they've got to look better than they do now, there is a hole in the carpet where the drivers heel rest, its about 1.5 inches long and about an 1 inch high. The previous owner did smoke in the vehicle, its does not smell like it any more, but as with any smoker there are signs of it, by the left A-pillar in the headliner there are two small holes and one small hole on the left front seat, the rest of the car is OK. The vehicle must be picked up by the purchaser, there is a required $500 deposit that is due immediately at the end of the auction, the remainder is due within 48hrs. The buyer can arrange to have the vehicle picked up by carrier or drive in and pick it up, I will make sure it is ready to go with a full tank of fuel. Like I stated the vehicle is in excellent running condition, the buyer should be able to drive anywhere with this vehicle. I can arrange a partial delivery within a few hours of where I live for a nominal fee, to be determined  between the purchaser and myself. For the Delaware bidders/purchaser the Delaware registration was recently renewed and is good through Feb of 2014, the plates and registration will go with the vehicle to eliminate the hassle for Delaware buyers.
