If you are looking for a tow car (dinghy) for a motorhome and are looking one that is in cosmetically great you can stop reading now and look elsewhere. If you are looking for an inexpensive tow car that is mechanically in great shape and is already set up to tow, then read some more.
I have just purchased a new motor home and the wife hinted that the Saturn did not match the color of the new coach. Well, if you are married you will understand that I bought a new tow car yesterday that would color coordinate and look "cute" behind the coach.
This Saturn is my former tow car. 8000 miles ago I had the following done to this car.
New tires
New brakes
New Air Conditioning System
Pre wired for a tow car light set up
Roadmaster Tow bar adapter plates attatched
Battery cut off switch to save battery while towing or during storage
Total cost for all of that not counting installation of the tow adapters and light wiring is over $1300
Here is what you get:
A tow car that cranks every time with cold AC, light wiring, adapter plates, over 25 mpg
Now what you don't get is:
Perfect paint
Carpet without stains
Sun Visors
A working radio(It can probably be fixed, I think it is a power wire loose)
All you will need is a Roadmaster tow bar, cables, and electrical pigtail. Hook it up and go.Since I spent $1300 just 8000 miles ago I am only getting $200 for the base car. The mounting bar that is shown in the picture does NOT come with the car. You will get that when you get your tow bar.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Saturn Vue ignition issue was discussed three times before recall, new documents reveal
Fri, 05 Sep 2014Despite 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.
