Used 2007 Saturn Ion for Sale

The main top negative is that the year that I bought the car, Saturns stopped being made. While that meant we got a stellar deal on the car, it is now making repairs a little more difficult to obtain parts, especially as we are nearing the ten-year mark where they stop making replacement parts (although, they will still be able to be found). While the recalls were easily fixed, it was still a pain to have to go through the process and get a rental car, but all the expenses were taken care of. The one recall that was actually an issue on mine was a small gas leak in one of the lines from the gas tank to the engine. I began to smell gas, and about a week later, we got a letter about that same issue and saying it was a recall, so we were able to get that fixed for free. Now that it is aging, cosmetic issues are starting to arise with the trunk leaking slightly on the passenger side. The driver's side visor will not stay up and some plastic components on the outside of the vehicle are beginning to harden. Also, the company made it difficult to change your oil by yourself, and we had to make a certain wrench to be able to take off the oil cap to drain it.

Sometimes the buttons on the stereo system do not work, which is annoying when trying to change the station or the clock during daylight savings time. The clock seems to run much slower which means over time your clock is behind what it really should be. The number of manufacturer defects was alarming, as it seemed like a span of 6 months I was receiving notices that I needed to have this or that fixed. The quality of the seats is a little cheap, as it stains and can be ripped very easily. The amount of leg room in the backseat is less than ideal if there is a larger person sitting in one of the front seats. It takes longer than usual for the car to heat up and defrost the windshield. The outside of the car can crack very easily as the paneling is made of plastic. Since Saturn is no longer in business, it is difficult to find the outside plastic if you do want to fix a crack. Headlights seem to have fogged over the years, and driving at night has become more difficult as a result. Sometimes you don't notice the speed of the car because you are always trying to get into that next gear of the car.
