Used 2008 Saturn Aura for Sale

There is so much good about this vehicle for the year it was built, that it is difficult to find problems. We do have a situation where oil is leaking and after several tries, mechanics have been unable to find or stop the leak. Additionally, we have had problems with the rear doors (both of them) either locking or unlocking. We have had to resort to rolling down the windows so a passenger can get in or out. Also the paint has begun to fade despite having a coating applied at time of purchase. Stains on the cloth seats are difficult to remove and we are still looking for a product that will adequately do the job. We have found the cost of replacement tires can be quite expensive. Air conditioning, especially here in Southern California summers, does not reach the back seats well. This could pose a problem when we start watching our granddaughter in a couple months.

The brakes and rotors seem to wear out extremely quickly, potentially due to an issue with the cars computer applying too much pressure. Although I perform regular maintenance, it is a bit difficult to do to the maintenance because of the car design. Unfortunately, in order to replace a headlight, you must remove both of the front tires and remove the wheel well to unscrew a bolt to loosen the headlamp housing. This causes changing a headlight to take an extremely long time. The only other thing that I can say is a bit concerning or troublesome is the transmission feeling like it may downshift in the second gear. So far, it has not been an issue, seven years later. The last downfall I would say is the A/C drainage plug being in the right back passenger floor. This causes water to swell up and pool on the floor whenever it is humid when running the air conditioning. Due to this, the car tends to be more humid than other cars, and this is causing some of the interior fabric to wrinkle and come off of the car a bit. This can also sometimes cause a mildewy smell due to the excess moisture.
