Did you know this was the same motor as the Cobalt SS, HHR SS and Saab 9-3?? Awesome drivetrain that has been proven reliable for years and years, especially under boosted conditions. Even better?? This car is NO RESERVE!! Beautiful BLUE version....wouldn't have it any other way! Polished factory wheels sport new Ventus tires at every corner! HID headlight lighting system assures you can see EVERYTHING on the road at night. Front bumper cover is ridiculously clean! Minimal chips. No damages. No biffs. No cracks. Barely any lower parking block scrapes unless you want to lay on your back to find em. As stated, the tires are new. Rims are awesome but could use a tad of hand polish to be perfect. No pitting or scrapes. Minimal rockchips on the hood. Super shine all over the car. No body issues to point out. Saturns are mostly plastic, but you knew that. Roof and hood are metal and clean. Bumper covers are super clean. Minimal chips. Seems to be all original paint. No signs of any body repairs. Wing looks great. Windows have a nice tasteful tint. Done right. Exterior illumination works properly. Headlight lenses look great...minimal fading or dullness. Exterior is an easy 9.5+ out of 10. Really. Have a professional buff...equals a 9.9. Interior is an easy 8.5 out of 10...and I say that with heavy heart as it's easily a 9+. ONLY thing I can see is the lower portions of the Recaro seats have a few light stains that...had I had my clean machine, can easily be removed with a little elbow grease. Otherwise, minimal wear on the driver's bolster. Steering wheel is excellent. About the only thing to point out is the shifter boot showing some breakdown. I'm picking this interior apart now! Carpet is clean enough to eat off of. I HATE smoke and can't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. Below you can see ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon startup with NONE staying on during run. I have logged about 100 miles on this car to ensure it's reliability. No worries. Kenwood USB/AUX input CD player with remote(seen below) sounds off thru Polk Audio speakers front and rear. Ready to hook up a sub/amp setup which yours truly can supply at an extra affordable cost as I have some product in stock.ALL the power items work as they should: windows, door locks, ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING, HOT HEAT, climate controls, etc. I could not figure out the cruise, sadly. Possibly a fuse?? No rust here either! Factory spare setup is hidden, aired up, ready for your ride home. Factory floormats are clean and intact. Engine compartment is clean enough to eat off of!! Seriously. Spotless. Engine fires right up with the strong battery. No noises or knocking. No misfires. No issues. I know that the Saturns had recalls and I am NOT aware of what has been done to this car. I DO know that this car doesn't suffer from the ignition issues or fuel tank issues, etc. Please remember that ALL of the recalls are FREE to you to complete when ready. All you need to do is check with your local GM dealer and they HAVE to, by law, complete the recalls free of charge (I know this because I just sold my sister's 07 Ion and we had the recalls performed while she owned it). The car hasn't had any major modifications. The car has a perfect compliment of a K&N replacement filter, a ZZR 3.1 overdrive supercharger pulley (the good hub one where you can exchange pulleys with a few bolt swaps) to maximize the power curve. Super smooth and strong on this one. Clutch grabs perfectly with no chatter or slippage and feels justlikenew2u!! Brakes are strong with no pulsing or grinding. Oil and coolant are clean with no overheating. Engine/trans has no noticable leaks. Dry underneath. No spots on my shop floor overnight. Trans shifts as it should thru every gear, altho first gear is worthless should you decide to press the right side fun pedal up to redline. Even feels as if there is an aftermarket short shifter since very throw is tight and made easily. The car pulls strongly in every gear actually. Suspension is tight and noise free. No popping or rattles. Car drives straight over any pavement with no pulling or wandering. AC is ice cold or flip to the HOT heat during the winter. Comes with one key and one keyless keyfob altho it needs a new battery as it works randomly. This car needs NOTHING. I can NOT stress how FUN this car is to drive!! Win it and you will see what I mean. Get in and drive anywhere with 100% confidence. Inspect my excellent feedbacks. No worries. Bid, Buy, and Drive. NO RESERVE! GOOD LUCK! PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE AD AND THE CONTENTS BELOW!!PLEASE REMEMBER: This vehicle is a USED vehicle, not new, USED. Specifically a 10 year old car with 126+k miles. Since this is my source of income, I cherry-pick each vehicle to sell. I ALWAYS pass on any vehicle unworthy of your family and hard earned money. As with ALL my NO RESERVE auctions, you will be in a position to buy this car for a FRACTION of it's original purchase price. These vehicles are all versions that I would own for myself or offer my family. For 15 years now, I do the best that I can (personally doing everything from start to finish) in a short period of time to drive, inspect, repair, clean, pic and list the cars I sell. I will bet that your local dealership isn't providing this personal service. If they do?? Awesome. They should. But I guarantee you it's at a premium. I don't tolerate tire-kicking and nitpicking. I work hard to offer you the best that I have available to me. Doesn't matter if it's a $1500 or a $15,000 vehicle. Inspect my feedbacks, I don't sell junk and treat all my buyers as friends. I expect the same in return, please. GOOD LUCK! I am looking forward to doing business with you!The venue of sale is Will County, Illinois.
