Up for sale is a very nice, very clean, well maintained 2002 Saturn Vue with the 3.0 V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission (not the troublesome VTi transmission found in most Vue's)...This vehicle also has All Wheel Drive (great for the rainy season or for going out in snow.. I drove to California over Christmas through the Siskiyous in a bad snow storm and never once slipped or slid)...It needs some minor TLC, but will make some one a great car! It is a very very nice car and every one who has seen it/driven it, has commented its one of the nicer Vue's around.
Options include: Side Curtain Airbags, Dual Air Bags, ABS, CD/Cassette Player, Moonroof, Keyless Entry, Cruise/Tilt, Height Adjustable Drivers Seat and more... Its well equipped and very clean inside, although, it may need to be vaccumed and have a few grease spots cleaned off the seats, but there are no major stains. I have the Carpeted Floor mats and some aftermarket rubber floor mats as well. There have never been children in the car, its never been smoked in and still smells new. I just had the rear liftgate shocks replaced as well. There are no leaks and the A/C is ice cold. I just replaced the cabin air filter as well. I have 3 keys, 2 remotes and the owners manual as well. All windows, locks and other options work as they should
Mechanically the car is in OK shape.. I have done alot to the car over the past few months and so did the prior owners estate before I inhertied it.. BUT, the car doesn't currently run. It turns over, it gets fuel, but no spark... My mechanic has put a new timing belt, crank sensor, coil packs, spark plugs, intake gasket, upper radiator hose, thermostat and housing, drive belt, water pump and a few other minor tune up items.. I took it to him in early march with a misfire code (which was fixed) and due to differing circumstances (i had to have emergency surgery and had a massive car accident which resulted in me getting stuck in another state until june) he's had it since. Its started and driven a few times for him, even after the timing belt change. There is an electrical issue and we both believe it to be simple, but I am out of steam with it. In the past year its had:
New Valve Cover Gaskets, New Brakes Front and Rear, Brake Flush, Coolent Flush, 3 Oil Changes, 4 new tiresfrom costco, Alingment, Sway Bar Links, 3rd Brake Light, Transfer Case Service, Rear Liftgate Shocks, Brake Light Switch, 3rd Brake Light Replaced, All filters replaced (air, cabin air and fuel).. I really did alot to it (I have receipts), in the hopes of driving it to 300K... I have a folder with most of the service history on this car, it had a full tune up and service at 90K and now again at 165K. Its had alot of maintence and other things done and been well kept. I feel it will still be a strong car if you have patience to trace down the electrical issue (its gotta be minor, the engine turns over fine). I wasn't given patience at birth and I already replaced it with another Mercedes.
This was a So. Cal car until november, when I inherited it from a friend when she passed away. There is zero rust on the car, a few spots on the window trim have some flaky paint, but nothing bad.. There is one minor scratch on the passenger side where I got to close to something and scratched the car on a pole.. This car has saturns famous dent resistant plastic panels and it shows. Very clean and nice car. I have driven it on several long trips and its done very well.
I no longer need an AWD SUV (I upgraded to a 2004 Mercedes Benz E Class wagon with 4matic and am getting a 2000 C230 as well) and I don't need 4 cars... This car won't dissapoint you, and with a little time/patience, you can get a good, solid, well maintained car out of it.. I am not selling it because I am hard up for cash or what ever else people might think. I just want it to find a good home and get the rest of the life out of it. You really have to see the car to understand how nice it is.. Its a little dusty from sitting, but a good wash and it will shine.
I have a clean title in hand (plates are good until November 2014 too), a clean carfax in hand as well. I know the car will run/drive fine once the electrical issue is fixed. I swear on a stack of bibles to that. I am only selling because I don't need the car and don't want to invest any further money into it. So be warned low ballers, car dealers and any one else who emails/calls/texts: im not hard up for cash AND will not give the car away. The car is located in NE Portland near the airport at my mechanics shop. I can only show the car when he is open, unless other arrangments are made.

Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof
Fri, 06 Jan 2012Residents of a Fresno, California apartment building recently awoke to debris falling from their ceiling after a car thief managed to execute a perfect parking job on the structure's roof. Police say 26-year-old Benjamin Tucker stole the Saturn sedan from a nearby house before striking either a curb or some rocks, vaulting the vehicle into the air and onto the roof. After seeing his predicament, Tucker leapt from the roof and fled the scene. Or at least he tried to. Tucker broke his leg in the fall and only made it around a quarter of a mile from the crash when police picked him up.
No one else was harmed in the stunt.
Tucker had two outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time for a hit-and-run and evading police. A special crane had to be called in to remove the Saturn from the apartment roof and the structure will indeed require repairs. Hit the jump for a news report on the incident.
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 isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases
Wed, Nov 20 2019NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
