Used 2003 Saturn Ion for sale near Durham, NC

A+ Dealership and FANTASTIC experience!!!! I am a very particular person and I know what I'm doing and want when it comes to buying cars for over fifty years now. I've bought so many cars in life my friends think I am a dealer. I'm a car guy, I work on all of them myself and I just like cars. I typically buy from private owners because I have a disdain when it comes to car dealerships and sales people. I have hair raising stories to prove this. One of my favorites is when I bought a car online from Florida and had it shipped to Ohio. It had a one thousand mile warranty. The salesperson told me the warranty would be expired upon arrival because it was over a thousand mile transit........On a car carrier....... seriously. While surfing around I find the car I wanted and they are an hour and forty five minute drive. At first I thought that's too far to go kick a tire until I started reading their reviews, the way they acquire the cars and the benefits of their family owned dealership. I was apprehensive about putting my hand on the stove again but my intuition cried out to me saying this would be different. My first fact finding call put me through to Dave who is incredibly sharp and I knew immediately I had to take this shot. I called back to make an appointment and was connected to Rachael who was VERY accommodating and told me to let her know when I was on my and she would hold the car until we arrived. When we got there we met and within a minute felt like family members. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable without any of the usual sales stuff thrown at you. She is absolutely phenomenal! So we get to look at and drive the Lincoln MKZ which was super clean and everything they advertised. All of the cars around it were exceptional too. We did buy the car with unparalleled confidence. The inspection and the attention to detail provided was remarkable. I am elated with Rachael and Dave, the car the dealership and the way we were treated. They are THE nicest most easy going no pressure people in this business. I can't say enough about the how great the entire experience was!! Epic! The most honest and truthful people you'll ever meet. I will be a return customer.

My Saturn ion is that 201,000+ miles. I have not had any major issues, mostly just Maintenance. I do notice an electrical problem. It’s been there since I got the car. I just don’t have the money to pay a mechanic to find the problem.

They were great to work with and so very friendly and helpful. They also helped me to get all the info I needed to get my loan approved.

Just got my ion, within the first ten miles the 23 year old car lost the timing chain. I guess you get what you pay for. (It was free) Seems easy to work on, and parts are cheap. I'll update my review once I fix it for under 40 dollars on parts! Before this snag it did seem to run well handling was a little touchy or so it seemed to me but I'm used to driving a Chevy truck 10 years older. And just for reference mine got 289,000 miles on the clock!

Every step of the process was well organized, and everything happened exactly as planned and right on schedule. Time was clearly respected, and there were no unexpected delays or issues. the essential operations and features of the vehicle were explained in a clear, patient, and thorough manner. Thank you.

Never gave up on me. These cars are made to have problems and triumph through them. Keep up on the oil changes and it’ll last you 200k miles easily. The only thing i had to fix on this car within the 2 years i owned it was the alternator, and a minor thing with the throttle body, over all only spent $200-$300 in repairs over 2 years. Timing chain didnt give up on me until 200k miles. A xxxx of a car, comfortable, quick, and truly trustworthy. Perfect car for new drivers or old drivers!!

Mr Lee was awesome and scheduling me to look at the Aveo. What I didn’t know was that This was a stick shift which I cannot drive. However, I am still looking for a car.

This car meets my need , has a lot of room space , it’s the best car I have own very reliable and comfortable I enjoy it for over 3 years I know anyone that purchas It would be very happy

We found a [surprisingly] sought-after example of a Honda Element at Midwest Auto, for our son - four hours away from our home. A 22yr old car, with over 100k miles on the odo. I expected a decent car with some issues, for what I paid. Instead, I got the cleanest Vtec the local, mobile mechanic had ever seen. He climbed all over that car for 1.5 hours and thoroughly drove and code tested it - both past/recent codes and “likely fail” codes. I have a four year old, bought-new minivan that wouldn’t have tested that clean. I drove the four hours home with no trepidation whatsoever. I feel like I stole this car. The mechanic told me that he sees a lot of “good cars” come out of Midwest. Not only was the sale easy, no-pressure and quick, (as we knew what we wanted), they were accommodating and incredibly friendly. I’ve owned a lot of cars and after what I experienced, I would buy from this dealer sight-unseen and ship with no fear. ANY used car WILL have some issues - new ones do now! - but this one doesn’t need anything but what anyone should do for any car. It’s getting a fresh alignment and a new battery. That’s it. This is easily the cleanest decades-old ride I’ve ever bought. Five stars.

This car drove fantastic and took me to see patients as I drove over a thousand miles weekly in several counties. Sadly, after 16 years repairs started adding up, so I gave the 2003 Saturn to my 16 y/o granddaughter who is learning to drive. My son is a certified mechanic and able to keep my beloved Saturn on the road for many more years. The black car still looks brand new.

They got back to me quickly and the salesman was really nice and answered my question

I had an outstanding experience working with Drew! From start to finish, his patience and professionalism made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. He took the time to answer every question thoroughly, demonstrating an impressive depth of knowledge without ever being pushy. What stood out most was Drew’s attention to detail and genuine commitment to making sure everything was perfect. After the purchase, he even spent over an hour with me walking through all the car’s technology to make sure I felt completely comfortable and confident using every feature. That level of care is truly rare. If you’re looking for a car buying experience that’s honest, smooth, and pressure-free, I highly recommend working with Drew. He’s a true professional and an absolute

Fast and friendly service. Had an appointment and they took vehicle right in time and called-as they said they would-when finished. Helped me solve a mystery with my auto dimming headlights too.
