This is a 1999 Saturn SL2 with 1.9 four cyl and automatic transmission. Car exterior is in good shape with no major damage or dents. Paint has chips especially in e front bumper but none are large. Interior is leather with all seats showing wear and the fronts seats with tears in them. Headliner is gone. Car runs and drives good most of the time. Sometimes it is hard to start and sluggish when you try to accelerate quickly. The service engine light is on but not sure why. Car has new water pump, radiator, and one engine mount. Still needs some mechanical work but will make a good driver. Was a daily driver until the end of November when the registration expired. Inspection just expired the end of January. Car has over a half of tank of gas in it as well, and has been driven a couple of blocks every few days just to move it around. I have tried to list everything but I am sure I have forgotten some things so please ask questions if you have them. Feel free to set up a time to come look at the car and test drive it. I will help all I can with transporting the car to the buyer, but the buyer must arrange and pay for all transport from my address in Watauga TX at 76148 zip code. Buyer to pay a $350.00 deposit that is non-refundable within 24 hours of auction end. Car to be picked up and paid in full within 7 days of auction end. If auction is paid in full and car can not be picked up within those 7 days we can arrange for more time for pickup. This must be done through eBay email to protect both parties. VEHICLE DOES GET DRIVEN SOME SO MILEAGE WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT WILL DIFFER BY NO MORE THEN 500 MILES.

Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into faulty electric power steering motors affecting 334,728 Saturn Ions from 2004-2007, because General Motors has issued a recall for them. The group's research found that the part failed at a high rate in the vehicles.
GM recalled over 1.3 million vehicles a few weeks ago, including the Ion, because the power steering could suddenly fail. If broken, the cars could still turn, but it took greater effort. The automaker is also covering 96,324 2003 Ions with a lifetime warranty for their motors, but it's not immediately replacing them.
NHTSA opened its investigation into the motors in September 2011, and it found 4,787 complaints and 30,560 warranty claims that showed failure for the Ion alone. It estimated a complaint rate of 14.3 incidents per 1,000 vehicles and warranty claim rate of 9.1 percent. The investigation also found evidence of 12 crashes caused by loss of steering, two of which resulted in injuries.

Saturn Vue ignition issue was discussed three times before recall, new documents reveal

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

Despite the tens of millions of recalled vehicles this year, it's somewhat rare that we get a glimpse into what goes into deciding when to conduct one of these safety campaigns. New documents published by General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are giving us an interesting opportunity to see how the sausage is made and show the number of meetings it takes to declare a recall.
In early August, GM added about another 269,000 vehicles to its 2014 recall tally in the US when it announced a slew of new safety campaigns. Among them was a fix for the 2002-2004 Saturn Vue that covered 202,155 of them in the US. The problem was that the key could be removed from the ignition even when it wasn't in the "OFF" position, and that had caused two crashes and one injury, according to the automaker.
Where we start to see behind the veil is in the defect notice freshly released by NHTSA. It shows that GM began investigating more widely for ignition switches in April, shortly after the company expanded its ignition switch recall to a variety of Saturn products, among others, according to Automotive News. The automaker found 152 reports in the 2002-2004 Vue of vehicles rolling away or the key being removed out of a total population of 215,243 units worldwide.

VIDEO: Saturn's demise? We blame Jim Gaffigan*

When the deal to sell Saturn to Penske Automotive fell through, there were likely a lot of surprised people at General Motors' Detroit, MI headquarters. Penske released a statement saying that the reason the deal fell through after months of good faith negotiations was that a suitable post-GM supply of vehicles could not be found. However, after reacquainting ourselves with over eight minutes of outtakes from Jim Gaffigan's old Saturn commercial, we're thinking the comedic pitchman is to blame.
