Do you want a high performance car that's fun to drive or great gas mileage?
How about BOTH!
Up for your consideration is this rare Saturn Ion Redline Limited Edition with incredibly low miles and a supercharged engine. We bought this car a few years back as a weekend fun car and it was great on the road and at the gas pump. But now we have cars provided by our employer so the Redline was stored for a while and just isn't being driven enough any more.
I will do my best to outline the condition of the vehicle, but please feel free to ask questions or arrange for an inspection and/or test drive.
Engine/Drivetrain --
The car starts up just like it should and has a smooth idle. NO known mechanical problems exist with the motor, transmission or drivetrain. The engine is completely stock with the exception of a mild performance exhaust system. The vehicle will pass all 50 State Smog emissions tests. Steering is very tight and the car corners very well indicating a strong suspension system. The tires are newer Goodyear Eagle GTs with very low miles, but the right passenger side tire has a very slow leak due to being in storage, just needs to be remounted. A new battery was just installed.
Interior --
Seats, carpet and side panels are all in great shape with no rips or tears. The factory installed Recaro racing seats are comfortable and very supportive. The power sun roof and power windows all operate as they should. Power door locks all functional as well. Trunk is very spacious.
Exterior/Paint --
Since its a Saturn and most of the body panels are made of composite materials, the aren't any dings or dents in the sides or back as you would find on most cars. The hood does have a slight, but not very noticeable indentation on the front drivers side. Being that it's a black car, it shows EVERY nick, scrape, blemish, swirl and chip. The paint is glossy and looks good overall, but there are certainly some surface flaws that might come out with a good detail job. All lights work as they should.
Selling Details --
We are setting a VERY reasonable reserve and Buy it Now price. Please understand that we do not end auctions early without the BIN price being utilized. $1000 dollar non-refundable deposit will be required through Paypal.
I strongly encourage prospective bidders to inspect the vehicle before bidding. Test drive appointments will be available during the auction period in the evenings.
Out of state bidders: We will drive the vehicle to a local Dependable Auto Shippers terminal for you at no additional charge to save on vehicle shipping costs.
California bidders: The car was just registered and will be paid through next year.

VIDEO: Saturn's demise? We blame Jim Gaffigan*
Fri, 02 Oct 2009
Click above to view the video after the jump
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.
Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The 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.
NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers
Fri, 08 Jun 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.
