NO RESERVE ***************** NO RESERVE Vehicle Auctions (First time bidders see note at bottom) This is a 2003 Saturn L200 seized by the Sheriff as a result of a forfeiture. The answers to questions requesting additional information will be posted on the item description as the auction progresses. Here is what I know: The vehicle is a 4 cylinder with 183,000 miles on the odometer. The engine runs, but unknown how well. The tires are in poorcondition. Flaws. The vehicle needs to be jump started. Since it’s been sitting awhile, the battery may need to be replaced. Both front and rear bumber guards are damaged and the vehicle also has a cracked windshield. Should be visible in a photo. Keep in mind we have no history of the vehicle other than it was being driven when it was seized. Since then it has sat in storage. Good luck. FORFEITED VEHICLES/SHERIFF’S SALES The Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office currently disposes of forfeited vehicles through public auction on eBay. The vehicles are listed with no reserve price, meaning the highest bidder wins the auction. Auctions typically start at $100.00. Vehicles are forfeited for a wide variety of reasons, from drunk driving to drug sales or fleeing a police officer. The vehicles also display a wide range of maintenance and repair (or disrepair, as the case may be). The Sheriff’s Office does not have a mechanic, nor do we claim to know anything about vehicle maintenance. For that reason, you are strongly encouraged to view the vehicle in person or arrange for someone to look at the vehicle for you prior to sale. While the department will make every effort to note each defect or characteristic to help you make an informed purchase decision we simply don’t know cars to the level of detail that has been requested in some of the auctions held since the department started using eBay in 2002. Bottom line, if the vehicle was being driven at the time it was seized we’ll tell you. From the time it comes into our possession, it gets towed or moved by flatbed. We don’t drive the vehicles. As such, we can’t attest to their operability. As each vehicle listed for auction on eBay was forfeited, it is unregistered and unlicensed. Both details must be taken care of before the vehicle can be driven off the lot. Out-of-state buyers can purchase 31-day permits for $11.00 at the local license bureau, which would allow the vehicle to be driven. Minnesota residents must handle license and registration transfer prior to the vehicle being driven. The local license bureau office (5 minutes away) is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. As for the title, when we seize a vehicle a rather lengthy paper chase begins. The end result of that paper chase is that the Sheriff’s Office becomes the legal owner of the vehicle and our name is on the title. We do not begin an auction until we have that title in our possession. At the end of the auction, the title is transferred from us to you. You will leave our office with the vehicle, keys and the title in hand. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Unless otherwise stated, the condition of this vehicle is unknown. 2. This item is being offered "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" with no warranty or other guarantee as to its condition or fitness for use. As mentioned above, we don’t drive the vehicles and can’t attest to their operability. 3. We do not ship vehicles and all transactions must be in person. 4. Purchaser is responsible for transportation to and from the Sherburne County Government Center in Elk River, MN. 5. Unless otherwise specified, vehicle will be available for public inspection/pick-up at 13880 Business Center Drive, Elk River, MN 55330 weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central Standard Time. 6. Full Payment is due within 7 calendar days from the end of auction. 7. None of our vehicles come with license plates. Purchaser should check with local license bureau for licensing requirements. 8. Vehicle listed is offered on a competitive bid basis and must be removed within 20 calendar days from the end of auction. Because of malicious buyers I cancel all bids of buyers with a (0) rating. If you have a (0) rating you must contact me to bid. |

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
Report: Saturn owners offered $2,000 to stick with GM products
Mon, 15 Feb 2010After its decision to euthanize Oldsmobile, General Motors knows exactly what happens when it mothballs one of its brands: GM loses market share to the competition. The General is trying to stop history from repeating itself with Saturn customers by offering $2,000 on the hood of every car and crossover donning the ringed planet badge. Automotive News says the offer actually started on February 2 and runs until the end of March. To be eligible for the $2,000 bounty Saturn owners must have leased or purchased their Saturn at least six months ago. Interestingly, those owners don't even have to turn in their Saturn to be eligible for the cash.
AN reports that research company R.L. Polk says even before Saturn went on the endangered species list, it lagged other GM nameplates in the all-important aspect of customer retention. The mass exodus from Saturn loyalty predictably intensified at the end of 2008 as customers became anxious over the future of the brand. For its part, GM insists that all Saturn warranties will be upheld and customers looking for service can still go to a GMC, Chevy, Buick or Cadillac dealership.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
