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 investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.

Report: Saturn owners offered $2,000 to stick with GM products

Mon, 15 Feb 2010

After its decision to euthanize Oldsmobile, General Motors knows exactly what happens when it mothballs one of its brands: GM loses market share to the competition. The General is trying to stop history from repeating itself with Saturn customers by offering $2,000 on the hood of every car and crossover donning the ringed planet badge. Automotive News says the offer actually started on February 2 and runs until the end of March. To be eligible for the $2,000 bounty Saturn owners must have leased or purchased their Saturn at least six months ago. Interestingly, those owners don't even have to turn in their Saturn to be eligible for the cash.
AN reports that research company R.L. Polk says even before Saturn went on the endangered species list, it lagged other GM nameplates in the all-important aspect of customer retention. The mass exodus from Saturn loyalty predictably intensified at the end of 2008 as customers became anxious over the future of the brand. For its part, GM insists that all Saturn warranties will be upheld and customers looking for service can still go to a GMC, Chevy, Buick or Cadillac dealership.
