This is a wonderful car if you are humble enough to drive it.
This car is clearly ahead of its time, a time which may not yet have come...
Here is a listing of the features:
- 35+ MPG, a fuel sipper.
- "Golf-cart handling", as made popular by the Mini, at a fraction of the cost.
- Dent-resistant doors. I don't know about you, but most people seem to have forgotten how much fun and how awesome these are.
- Plastic bumpers. This makes putting paint on bumpers seem like a pretty stupid idea.
- Special flat matte paint finish. I believe the hood is faded from the sun and salt, but it IS a really hot look right now.
- Two new tires. Each cost about $30-40, so cheap! (the other 2 are OK).
- Tune up last year, new belts and plugs! Preventative maintenance only, this reliable car has never let me down.
- Battery is less than 2 years old.
The bad:
- The E-brake (works) but the latch/button is missing, so it does not lock. It has been this way for years, no reason to fix.
- The ceiling started to droop so I ripped it out. I really like the look of the steel roof, it's a clean look.
- There are stains and rips and tears all over the interior of the car.
- I kept seat covers on the seats, which are now faded (and included with the sale). I'm sure with new seat covers it would be a like a brand new car.
- The paint is faded and scratched in various areas.
- The glass is good with the exception of one chip, which has been there for years and thus has not cracked or grown at all.

Clever video selling Saturn Ion "sex machine" will catch your eye
Thu, 28 Feb 2013"When I think of the most impressive, industry changing, earth shattering vehicles of recent history, the first car that comes to my mind is the 2004 Saturn Ion Coupe."

One look at the specific specimen Holt is selling will be enough to convince you that the car "will absolutely tickle every one of your fancies," as claimed by the seller himself.
We suggest you watch the video below to see just how perfectly Holt's sex machine will fit into your life. The end result will no doubt be exactly as Holt ends his video: "You need it. Like a lot." You can also read more info from Brad in an interview here. If only our offices were a little closer to Dallas...
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.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
