2002 Saturn VUEAWD (All Wheel Drive)Automatic TransmissionPower windows and locksA/C
This car is the V-6 model...which means it is the good one! Saturn also made 4-cyl VUEs and the automatic transmissions in the 4-cyl models were terrible...high failure rate, and exorbitantly expensive to replace (they cannot be repaired).This is NOT THAT CAR. The V-6 models have no typical issues: engine and trans are strong and work well.
This was my teenage daughter's car for a few years...I bought her a new one for graduation, this one is not needed anymore. It is just collecting dust and bird poop...rarely driven anymore...100 miles a month, maybe, just to excersize' it.
The Good:
Engine runs goodTransmission works goodAll-Wheel Drive works perfectly...as designed.Brakes are goodExhaust is goodAll electric accesories work (windows, locks, sunroof, radio, wipers , etc...)All lights internal and exterior work.Horn works
New
, clear headlights!
New
tires!
The interior is in exceptionally good condition
...no tears or rips in the fabric anywhere: carpets, seats or door panels. The headliner is the only exception.
The Bad:
Some paint defects (see photos)Headliner sags a little (see photos)A/C does not work. If I recharge the system it works fine for 3-4 days. The compressor has a leak, will need to be replaced. No other leaks or issues with the A/C system.
Don't know what else to say:It's a used car with about 185, 000 miles or so on it. It is dependable and runs well.
I am a mechanic and this car has received meticulous maintenance while we have had it: Full Synthetic oil changes every 4000 miles for 4 years. Transmission fluid changed recently, as per maintenance schedule. Car is cleaned regularly.
Buy it...you'll like it!
You'll have fun with it for a few years...maybe longer if you baby it and don't beat it up!
Thank you for looking, any questions don't hesitate to ask.

“Used. Runs excellent, drives excellent, looks...well, not excellent.Gets about 25 mpg or so when driven normally.There are some paint flaws, a couple of body scratches. The sunroof leaked at some point in the past and some water got behind the headliner and it sags at the fron a little...does not block any view, see photos. The sunroof DOES NOT leak anymore, I fixed it: A drain hose inside the windshield pillars had become detached. I repaired that and now the sunroof works as it should. Opens and closes perfectly.All power windows work, all power door locks work.radio works, CD player too. Factory radio...not a great one.Brakes work well, as does the steering...it drives smooth and straight at 70, 80 MPH (maybe faster...I won't tell!)Four BRAND NEW matching tires.BRAND NEW headlights...you can see at night again! (see pictures)This car is not perfect, but it is a good-running dependable car. Won't win any car-show trophys but it will get you back and forth daily.” |
