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.

Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The 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.
