2004 Saturn Vue 2.2 5speed = 25+ MPG ALL DAY! NO RESERVE!! Description
DON'T FORGET...this NO RESERVE auction ends FRIDAY NIGHT!
HERE IT IS!!! One Owner New Car Store Fresh Trade-in!! NO RESERVE! Ready for school or work or second car or ???
I sell a TON of high mile euro cars because of their reliability. Saturns, as you know, have a HUGE following, not to mention HUGE reliability!! But....you already know this....read on...
This Vue's exterior is a superb 8+ out of 10. Obvious being a mostly plastic bodied vehicle, rust isn't to be found on any of the silver surfaces. Roof and hood are metal, but are super duper clean. The hood, having minimal rock chips, looks to have been repainted and matches nicely. No noticeable dings. Zero dents. No cracks or damages to the body panels. Just typical chips and scratches expected only on a car with much fewer miles. Vinyl trim and bumper covers have minimal fading but are quickly refreshed with some tire shine. Bumper covers are nice with minimal parking lot biffs. No cracks.
Above, brand new matching Cooper tires ride on amazingly clean damage/vibration free rims. If you know the GM wheels, they corrode and look like garbage after a decade. They have minimal amounts of clearcoat flake and clean easily. Unseen are the new front brakes. Seeing as the rears are the drum type, I can't inspect without tearing em apart. Just be assured that the brakes work excellently and will throw you thru the dash if needed.I'm not bodyman, but no signs of any accidents, bodywork or major repairs. Again...appears as if it's a vehicle with way less miles!
Rear bumper cover has a small parking lot biff on the lower left corner as seen with the reflector crack. Hard to see but the rear hatch door has a handful of chips, easily touched up if desired.
Headlight lenses are clean and clear altho they could use some polishing to be exceptional. Personally, they are plenty fine as is.
Interior is also an easy 8+ out of 10!! Driver's bolster wear is typical and the only eyesore inside the entire car. Cloth interior is clean sporting only a few barely noticeable stains/wear spot. Carpet is minimally stained and clean. Buttons thru out the car are barely worn. Steering wheel and shifter look amazing. Doorpanels are great as well. I HATE smoke and can't see or smell ANY signs of a former smoker.
Above and below you can see ALL the dummy lights illuminate during startup with NONE staying on during run. ALL the power items seem to work during my roadtests: power windows, (auto) locks, sunroof, cruise, Hot Heat, ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, power mirrors, wipers, climate controls, auto dimming rearview with digital compass, etc!! The Vue was missing it's entertainment so I personally installed a BRAND NEW Bluetooth/FM/AUX/USB/card-Media Player with remote control!! It supposedly can be controlled by your smart phone as well. Looks Great. Works Great. Dashboard looks great. Panels look great. Everything....GREAT! BTW....the odometer display works perfectly....just reflection covering it visually. Still shows approximately 147,450 miles.
A set of decent floormats are included with the box/manual for the new radio. In the other box are the original center armrests and another set I picked up to replace the commonly cracked hard vinyl ones. The ones I bought are similar but not exact, but you may be able to get em to work. Original bolts and plastic caps are also included. Unseen is the complete spare tire setup, aired up ready for your roadtrip home.

Factory manuals and one working keyless entry keyfob and one key are included.
Above and below you can see a nice and tidy engine compartment. The "EcoTech" aka Saab designed 2.2 liter lineup wasn't the quietest engines made but this one fires right up with the super strong battery. It runs normally with no noises or knocks or rattles beyond it's original design. Oil and coolant is clean. Transmission shifts thru every gear as it should with no grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch feels nice and normal with no slipping or chattering. Upon pickup, it had the typical front suspension squeaks and pops and a few underneath from a loose heat shield. I ordered new stabilizer links and bushings to replace the obviously worn ones. I am installing them as you read this ad!! No more front end noises! Tugged on the heat shield and those noises seem to be gone as well. Vue drives straight and smooth down any pavement with no unusual pulling or wandering. Vehicle needs nothing except a new owner!
Below...a quick shot of the engine and transmission underneath...showing how nice and dry it is and the lack of any REAL rust areas. No signs of any major oil or coolant leaks. No spots on my shop floor overnight. No worries. No issues. NO RESERVE!! Inspect my excellent feedbacks! Clean clear one owner title and paperwork in hand ready to go!! GOOD LUCK!!
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD AND THE CONTENTS BELOW!!
PLEASE REMEMBER: This vehicle is a USED vehicle, NOT NEW, used. Specifically a 12 year old car with 147+k miles. Since this is my source of income, I cherry-pick each vehicle to sell. I ALWAYS pass on any vehicle unworthy of your family and hard earned money. As with ALL my NO RESERVE auctions, you will be in a position to buy this car for a FRACTION of it's original purchase price. These vehicles are all versions that I would own for myself or offer my family. For 15 years now, I do the best that I can (personally doing everything from start to finish) in a short period of time to drive, inspect, repair, clean, pic and list the cars I sell. I will bet that your local dealership isn't providing this personal service. If they do?? Awesome. They should. But I guarantee you it's at a premium. I don't tolerate tire-kicking and nitpicking. I work hard to offer you the best that I have available to me. Doesn't matter if it's a $1500 or a $15,000 vehicle. Inspect my feedbacks, I don't sell junk and treat all my buyers as friends. I expect the same in return, please. GOOD LUCK! I am looking forward to doing business with you!
