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.

Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter
Tue, Nov 25 2014A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
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
