Vehicle Background:

I am the second owner of this 2005 Saturn Vue.  It was purchased in 2006 @9000 miles and has been used as a family vehicle and commuter vehicle.  I have some maintenance records available.  In the last couple years I've had he A/C system repaired and all four wheel bearings replaced.  The manual transmission was serviced to repair a pad on gear 3.  The clutch has not been replaced, but the transmission shifts easily.  

Current Condition:

Recently a bad oil leak developed and the vehicle ran low on oil.  The leak has since been repaired, but the engine now has a knock of some kind.  Engine function and performance does not seem to be affected, however if left unserviced, I suspect engine failure is eminent.  Aside from this, all systems function in the vehicle except the one-touch operation driver window has recently stopped functioning, but all four power windows still roll up and down.

Can be driven, however I suggest it be towed any significant distance.

The radio was recently replaced with a Sony CDX-GT57UPW In-Dash Digital Media CD/USB Receiver.  The USB port will charge, provide audio passthrough, and control Pandora on an iPhone.  Front 3.5mm audio in allows connection to other personal audio devices.

Auction Close and Vehicle Pick-up:

Vehicle should be picked up with balance paid in full within 10 days of auction close.  If buyer would like vehicle towed, I can arrange towing up to 50 miles from vehicle location in Sykesville, MD.  I have Maryland Title available.

GM appears to repurpose Saturn Outlook parts on new Acadia

Thu, 09 Feb 2012

General Motors unveiled the company's refreshed GMC Acadia at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show yesterday, and if you were paying attention, you may have noticed something curious about the vehicle. While the new Acadia looks considerably better than its predecessor, a few components of the design looked more than a little familiar. Upon closer observation, it appears that GM has simply repurposed elements of the now defunct Saturn Outlook crossover on the 2013 Acadia. Both vehicles seem to share the same wrap-around rear glass, back hatch, tail light openings and exaggerated, squared-off fender arches.
While the vehicles are differentiated by badging, tail lamps and a rear valance, there's no denying the similarities toward the vehicle's rear. Up front, both share similar fenders, though adjustments have been made for the varying headlight designs.
That's good news if you just can't imagine life without the Saturn Outlook.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
