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. 


*IF YOU USE THE BUY IT NOW FEATURE, I WILL INCLUDE AN EXTRA TIRE, MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND A THROTTLE BODY (WHICH IN AND OF ITS SELF IS WORTH $1100, THIS ONE IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD WITH 15k ON IT... WAS TAKEN FROM MY FRIENDS VUE WHICH GOT WRECKED).ALSO MAY HAVE EXTRA PIECES I WILL INCLUDE AS I FIND THEM.. THIS IS ONLY FOR BUY IT NOW CUSTOMERS*

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 ...

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

GM calling in 56k Saturn Aura sedans over shift cables

Thu, 08 May 2014

General Motors may have made a few mistakes when it came to the whole ignition-switch debacle, and it will likely be dealing with the consequences for some time to come. But you have to hand it to Mary Barra and her team, because they're determined to clean house and avoid the same mistakes. That's why the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Detroit has been issuing recalls left, right and Renaissance Center. Aside from those vehicles fitted with the faulty ignition switches, GM has recalled over 50,000 Cadillac SRXs, another 50 heavy-duty pickups and some 51,000 full-size crossovers. There are bound to be more to come, and now it's issued another 50k-unit recall over faulty shift cables in the transmission.
The recall affects 2007 and 2008 Saturn Auras fitted with the four-speed automatic transmission manufactured between April 24, 2006, and October 31, 2007. The recall doesn't affect models equipped with the six-speed automatic, or for that matter any of the Aura's Epsilon platform-mates like the Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6, Opel Signum and Vectra, Saab 9-3 or - carrying over from Fiat's aborted partnership with GM - the Fiat Croma, although many of those models used the same 4T40 transmission employed in the Aura.
In the affected vehicles, the shift cable might fracture while in motion, preventing the transmission from shifting into Park or the ignition from switching off, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures could lead to the car rolling away. Hence the recall of 56,214 units in the United States, owners of which can expect to hear from their dealership in due course to have the necessary components replaced.
