I purchased this vehicle 5 months ago... this was before finding out the family is expanding and we need a larger SUV that being said we do not want to put any additional money into repairs and are choosing to list approx. $1500-$2000 under blue book value to compensate for that, allowing the next owner to take care of any repair work while still keeping value in the vehicle.

As I said it was purchased approximately 5 months ago and I can only speak to the past 5 months since I have owned it. I will be as transparent as possible so you do not get into a vehicle that you do not expect to have to do a little work with. When I purchased it I was told that it had an air hose leak which is why it would hesitate during shifting and an oil leak which caused the check engine light to sporadically come on. Both of these issues existed however the result from them was untrue. Both oil leak and air hose have been fixed. Check engine light once in my possession was not a sporadic thing but a constant and needed to repaired quick in order to pass inspection. It happened to be an intake manifold leak and is now corrected. It also needed new tires to pass inspection and those were purchased and have only been driven approx. 4000 miles on since.

I did not obtain a carfax prior to purchasing and am unsure what the 2 accidents that the one provided states were. As far as cosmetic this vehicle is in excellent condition. There are no major dents, scratches or rust spots. Exterior is in great condition. Interior just needs to be cleaned.

The specs: v6, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, odometer states 67,000 miles, anti lock breaks, air bags, 6 cd changer with cassette and am/fm radio. Cruise control, air conditioning, seats in back fold down, storage compartment in rear, clean title, no liens/loans. Its your basic small SUV and has pretty good gas mileage.

Like I said I will be as transparent as possible and since I have taken it off the road and did not have a diagnostic done I will do my best to explain exactly what the vehicle does so you can get a good idea of what may need repaired. If you are a mechanic, or know/have a good mechanic I am sure whatever the issue is should be fixable without a problem. First, AC does not blow cold, possible recharge? Second wiper blade in rear does not work, was told needed a new motor approx. $150 including labor. Third turning signal will work 90% of the time but will randomly stop, was told $250 to fix including labor. Last the vehicle will start and run with no problem but sometimes (this is really not an every time occurrence) when placed from park to first it will hesitate. When you push on the gas the vehicle will not move. When it does this it revs the engine then kicks forward finally allowing you to drive freely. When it does this it will then hesitate at stop lights when accelerating etc. When it does not do it from the start it drives just fine. This was a recent development and the main reason I decided to take it off the road and start looking for a larger SUV. As I am not a "car person" I can not really speculate as to what the fix will be.

You are purchasing this vehicle "as-is" and are responsible for pick up. Payment must be made in full within 7 days and deposit required within 48 hours. Any questions please ask prior to bidding.

Guess when this car will plunge through the ice, win $1,500

Mon, Feb 18 2019

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a sad-sack Saturn raises money for charity while awaiting an icy fate. The 1998 Saturn is a bright orange beacon inviting folks to make a bet on the coming of spring. When the weather warms up enough and this Saturn sinks, someone is going to take home $1,500. It's the Iron Mountain–Kingsford Rotary Club's annual car-plunge contest, a fundraiser that takes bets on when this car will fall through the ice. The contest had been run in years past and was resurrected in 2015. In the old days, the hapless cars sank to the bottom of the lake, which is actually a flooded old iron mine. In today's more enlightened environmental era, this Saturn is attached to a cable affixed to an anchor on shore, allowing it to be yanked out of the water. It also has been drained of all fluids, degreased, and had its powertrain, battery, and radiator removed (which means it weighs about 1,800 pounds). The lake sits alongside a main highway, assuring maximum visibility for the car and the contest. But it's not only locals who are invited to take a chance; anyone 18 and over can bet via this online link. Ten dollars buys three chances. Whoever most closely guesses the date and time that the Saturn slips under the waves takes home $1,500. Betting closes March 15. The past four years have seen the car fall through on March 17, April 2, April 4, and April 26 — although, as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And remember: Bet with your head, not over it. Here's video of last year's fateful moment ...

Junkyard Gem: 2004 Saturn Vue with manual transmission

Sun, Mar 27 2022

GM's Saturn Division has been gone since the final 2010 Auras, Outlooks, Skies, and Vues slunk apologetically out of the showrooms, and I'm doing my best to document the more interesting models from The General's once-revolutionary brand. Some of the later Saturns began life as Opel designs, but the Vue actually was the first vehicle to go on the all-new GM Theta platform; the Opel Antara was thus a Saturn copy, a fact that Saturn fans no doubt trot out when they get shamed by Opel zealots over the Astra. Today's Junkyard Gem is a most unusual Vue, in the sense that its original purchaser was fine with both the base manual transmission and the leather-upholstery upgrade. Sure, the cheapest way to buy a new Vue— which was sold here for the 2002-2007 model years— was to get it with the base transmission: a five-speed manual. You can still buy a new car with a five-on-the-floor manual right now, but only in a handful of cheapmobiles; by the middle 2000s, a tiny-and-ever-shrinking subset of American car shoppers would even consider a three-pedal commuter vehicle. Really, there were only two reasons an American new-car buyer would have considered a non-enthusiast vehicle with a manual transmission in 2004: either an eccentric preference for the good ol' stickshift or just plain penny-pinching. The cheapest possible '04 Vue was the version with four-cylinder 2.2-liter engine, front-wheel-drive, and five-speed manual transmission, and it started at $17,025 (about $26,080 in 2022 dollars). That's what we're looking at here. The optional CVT automatic transmission cost an additional $2,095 ($3,210 today), so it made sense to get the manual if you wanted to save serious money on your Vue. However, this car is loaded to the gunwales with nice equipment upgrades, to the tune of at least the Leather Appointments Package ($755) and the Sports Plus II Package ($1,300) and probably a lot more.  So, a buyer who didn't care about power (so no V6 engine), didn't want all-wheel-drive, liked driving a manual transmission Â… but insisted on power everything and a full-zoot comfy leather interior Â… in a cheap small SUV sold by a fast-fading brand. The conversations with the Saturn salesmen about this thing must have been interesting. Built in Tennessee, sold new in Denver, will be crushed near Pikes Peak.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
