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.

Junkyard Gem: 1996 Saturn SC1

Tue, Apr 3 2018

Before the Saturn marque got locked into a downward spiral of muddled brand image and billion-dollar Opel badge engineering, American car shoppers loved Saturns' plastic bodies and fixed-price buying experience. The original SC coupe looked a bit like the Isuzu-built Geo Storm but was a Michigan design and had a smaller price tag, and it sold well. Here's a final-model-year first-generation SC1, languishing in a Denver-area wrecking yard with nearly 300k on the clock. Saturn S-Series cars were simple machines, and many examples held together for the long haul. This one reached the kind of mileage figure you'd expect to see on a Camry or Civic from the same era. I'm not quite sure what's going on here, but I suspect that the car's final owner performed a bit of spray-foam-and-Bondo bodywork when the rear plastic body panels got munched in a crash. The twin-cam Saturn engines made respectable power, but this car has the 100-horse single-cam under the hood. The car weighed a mere 2,282 pounds, though, so it had about the same power-to-weight ratio as the slightly heavier Honda Del Sol, with a much lower price tag ($12,195 for the SC1 versus $15,250 for the Del Sol). With a manual transmission, which this car has, the SC1 was a lot more fun to drive than most frugal commuter cars of its era. It's no Saturn Ion Redline (an example of which I found nearby in the very same wrecking yard), but still an interesting chapter from the tale of the rise and fall of Saturn. When you want a two-door with some spunk, sleep on it first. Yeah, we're puzzled by this ad, too. Featured Gallery Junked 1996 Saturn SC1 View 14 Photos Auto News Saturn Automotive History Coupe

Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

The 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.

Guess when this car will plunge through the ice, win $1,500

Mon, Feb 18 2019

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a sad-sack Saturn raises money for charity while awaiting an icy fate. The 1998 Saturn is a bright orange beacon inviting folks to make a bet on the coming of spring. When the weather warms up enough and this Saturn sinks, someone is going to take home $1,500. It's the Iron Mountain–Kingsford Rotary Club's annual car-plunge contest, a fundraiser that takes bets on when this car will fall through the ice. The contest had been run in years past and was resurrected in 2015. In the old days, the hapless cars sank to the bottom of the lake, which is actually a flooded old iron mine. In today's more enlightened environmental era, this Saturn is attached to a cable affixed to an anchor on shore, allowing it to be yanked out of the water. It also has been drained of all fluids, degreased, and had its powertrain, battery, and radiator removed (which means it weighs about 1,800 pounds). The lake sits alongside a main highway, assuring maximum visibility for the car and the contest. But it's not only locals who are invited to take a chance; anyone 18 and over can bet via this online link. Ten dollars buys three chances. Whoever most closely guesses the date and time that the Saturn slips under the waves takes home $1,500. Betting closes March 15. The past four years have seen the car fall through on March 17, April 2, April 4, and April 26 — although, as they say, past performance is no guarantee of future returns. And remember: Bet with your head, not over it. Here's video of last year's fateful moment ...
