Best buying experience of my life!
Best buying experience of my life! Extremely transparent the whole way through. It was also the quickest I’ve ever been able to buy a car. Everyone was so nice! I cannot recommend them enough. If you need to buy a car this is the place to go!
My Saturn ion is that 201,000+ miles.
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.

contacted me gave me the info on the freestar i decided it was not the right van for me
Just got my ion, within the first ten miles the 23 year
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!

Traded my vehicle.
Traded my vehicle. Got a good vehicle and fair price for mine. No pressure & fast transaction.
Surprisingly the best car i’ve owned.
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!!

Great dealings
They were extremely courteous. Easy to work with. Helped me get tje best deal. I went in knowing what I wanted and they made it a pleasant experience.
Most reliable car I've owned Black ION Quad Coupe
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.
There are 10 matching cars close to your year range.
