Used Saturn Ion for sale under $5,000 near me

I got my Saturn Ion new back in 2007. I wanted an affordable black car with a manual transmission. This car has been a rock for me. I've put on new all season tires a few years back. In this past summer, 2024(158,000 miles), I had to replace the brakes. Outside of regular maintenance(oil changes, tire rotations, fluid flushes) that is all I have had to do! Mine is a manual transmission, which has been very helpful controlling the vehicle in the snow here in MN. I am very grateful for my Saturn and happy to share the feedback.

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Legacy Ford in LG. Justin, Skylar and the whole crew went above and beyond to find the perfect vehicle for me. They never pressured us to buy. The sale has gone through and they are still checking in to make sure everything is perfect.

I've owned my 2007 Saturn Ion 3 for 16 years and have only had one small repair. Had a small leak in the gas tank and that is all. This is the most reliable car I've ever owned.

Provided useful information and Brick City Motors staff was not pushy - like most auto sale staff are. I am still deciding on which car I wait to buy and they are showing me what's currently available

i bought my saturn ion redline about 8 years ago private party with 84.090 orig miles for 2.500 and in real good shape,,i dont go far so im just hitting 100,000 miles on it this week,,,all ive done is regular maintenance and one tune up..its always ran great,,,fast ,,and fun to drive everything works great,,i love it and plan to keep it and hand it down to my grandson when i kick the bucket,,,,

I bought my '04 Saturn Ion brand new. It only had 2 miles on it when I drove it out of the showroom. It hit 430k 2 yrs. ago. I was hoping to get at least 500k out of it, but alas, my subframe is rusted. But that's due to winters in the Midwest. I never had any engine issues and the factory battery lasted 7 yrs. before it needed to be replaced. It never burned any oil and I religiously changed the oil every 3,000 miles. My baby got me safely home in the worst weather. Very low maintenance, great gas mileage. Oh! And the dashboard design! I loved not having the steering wheel in the way to check my gauges/speedometer. Just a quick glance with my eyes was all that was needed; didn't even have to turn my head. Everyone gave me sh** for having a little plastic car. (My daughter always said that I could whip Cheerios, not doughnuts!) But they all shut up when they saw how good a car it was. For being a little car, it still had plenty of room. I smoked a deer w/ my car 20 miles from home and even though it totally effed up my hood and headlights, but it Never. Stopped. Running. My husband thought I was gonna junk it. I looked at him and laughed. He underestimated the love I have for that car. It was well worth fixing it and I drove it for another 4 years. I wish with all my heart that they would bring them back and make them as good as they did.

Megatronics have a good selection of quality used cars. The staff was patient and answered all my questions . I test drove several cars before selecting the PERFECT car for me. I am so happy with the car I chose, it drives so smoothly!! I will definitely refer family and friends to Megatronics.

I had a brand new 2005 Saturn ION level 2 for many years! The Saturn dealer in Schaumburg, IL did try to add a bunch of extra and hidden fees and b.s. last minute which all dealers do these days which really pisses me off. Had a peppy 4 cylinder engine, handled great in all weather conditions and was a comfortable little car. Was very reliable and loved the fact that the body didn’t rust or dent. I also loved the fact that the speedometer/RPM gauges were in the middle of the dash. It seems you have to be a much shorter person to see the dash/gauges in all other cars. Really miss this car. Had to sell it due to unforeseen circumstances. Was a great car!

We answered a Craigslist ad. The price was so good we didn’t believe it was a real ad. We went to see the car, Charlie was our salesman. We weren’t sure so we left, no pressure. We took a second look, easily agreed on a deal and left a deposit. We came back to pick up the car and the price we agreed on was the final price! I expected documentation fees, all those fees most dealers try to add. We were finished in about 10 minutes, I expected an hour or more. So we started out happy and remain happy, love the car. There will be something with any used car but everything was clearly disclosed, no surprises. All of the staff were very friendly and Charlie was a great salesman. It was the best experience and we will be back, and tell our friends of course.

I bought my 2007 Saturn Ion with 90,000 miles on it. It gets 32 mpg and is low cost to maintenance. I had to put $3,200 into it after I hit 140,000 miles, but that was most likely because the last owner did not keep good care of it. Great city car!!!

The owner Yarub was very knowledgeable about all his vehicles and displayed complete confidence and honesty in the vehicles he is selling. We drove over 6 hrs to do business with this dealership. We won’t hesitate to buy another car from him. Thank you for your service in helping us buy my sons 2014 Ford Focus with low mileage and clean clean clean.. happy customers!!

Bought Saturn ION 2 new. Still have it in 2022. Great car with a lot of zip. Love the fold down front seat with protective backing. Can bring home 8ft. goods from Home Depot in my car. Same with the Vue. I used to sell these cars. The fold down seat is rare and so useful.

Bought my 2007 Saturn Ion in November 2020 with 103 000 miles. Going on 2 year's owning it at 131,000 miles and she's running great. Besides new breaks and some new tires and an alignment it just been oil changes every 5000 miles. It does burn oil a little bit so I usually throw in a quart about 3500 miles after each oil change. I have been VERY pleased it this purchase which was a bargain at $3500 🙂

I have purchased several cars from Sensible choice over the past few years, so when it was time to get a new car for my wife recently, we naturally went to them first. The salesman, Wayne, was very knowledgeable and helpful. The owner, John, is a great guy and very reasonable (even if he is from Baltimore, lol). We found a model that fit the style we were looking for and at a price we thought was very fair. We would recommend Sensible Choice to anyone looking for a used car!

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!

Mario and candy help as with getting a car and an answering all of are question and we ask.

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!!

Very friendly staff at every level. Good prices. We really loved the entire experience and are so happy with our new convertible!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Trenton, he was very upfront with any possible issues with the car. He had a laid back no pressure sales attitude. He was very accommodating. I will definitely go back and I highly recommend. The whole process was gratifying. It's great leaving not feeling like I got ripped off....thanks

Was in the market for a new Challenger R/T these guys not only had the best price around, they had the cleanest. No gimmicks or add ons easy in easy out.

I've owned two different Saturn Ions. The first one was a gift from aunt. She had bought the car brand new when it came out. I turned 17 and it was a graduation gift and she had got a new car. Drove that car for about 2 years and got into an accident that left the car totaled. I walked away from the accident scratch free. Got to love the built in roll cage in these cars. My second Saturn Ion was also a 2004 I had bought used with 115k miles for $1600 dollars. Drove it for 8 years with one pricey fix of the alternator. The rest was just routine oil changes, tires, and one set of shocks. 8 years that baby lasted me and I loved it. Drove it from Michigan down to Florida twice. Said goodbye at 220k miles. Amazing car.

We’re very nice got back to me right away but I couldn’t get there they were farther then I thought. .

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

I am writing a second review after writing a negative first one. Krug Auto reached out to me and because of a breakdown in communication and a banking issue we had a messy situation. I spoke with Tim Krug and he was very helpful and resolved my issue. I wanted to post this update as I have been unable to delete or edit my original review. Thank you Krug Auto!!

2004 saturn ion Have had this car bought it used now for six years and I just love my car especially the stereo. Car went under water from the storms and she I'd still running ok. Have a lot of miles on it and don't ever plan on getting rid of it. Love my suicide doors sense I have had my car from the water had to replace clutch pedal still looks like brand new. Thank u

This is my first car. I bought it with 168,000 miles on it, and had to replace the fuel pump ($500). After that, I’ve driven the car back and forth without any major issues. I drove from Florida to Massachusetts in two days - with 11-hour drives each day - and the car behave perfectly. It has never let me down since I bought it. Considering the price I bought it from, it is extremely reliable and pretty good-looking. It also has more than enough space for you and your partner, and spacious trunk for storage. I cannot describe in words how amazing this little car is. My car is about to hit the 200,000 miles on it and still drives smooth down the road. The only bad thing that I could say about this car is the leg space in the rear seats. Even though it’s enough for people to put their legs, it seems to be a little tight for them. Other than that, the design is fun and comfortable overall. The original audio system is above other competitors from the same year. What a shame GM discontinued this brand!!

I bought my 2006 Saturn ion at 193,000 miles for $550. My ex got into a accident when it hit 240,000. It was such a reliable and strong car! Replaced some filters, battery, alternator, and also had to replace radiator due to running over a raccoon on accident :( I went back and forth a lot in that car doing doordash. I would definitely recommend that car to anyone who’s looking for something that’s cheap and reliable.
