Yes. Will it? Who knows, but lets hope people notice Saturn's new sporty SUV, the Saturn VUE Red Line. The Red Line Package includes: Sport-tuned suspension with performance springs and struts, 18" alloy wheels, Fascia and side-rocker ground effects and chrome exhaust tip. The Red Line is not a special trim level, rather an option package that you can check off on the FWD or AWD VUEs for a price of $1,995 and its definitely worth it. Design VUE's design is distinctly Saturn...definitely more attractive than the puny RAV-4 or the strange looking CR-V. The Red Line adds a sporty flavor the VUE's style with new rocker panels, an aggressive lower front facia and a chrome exhaust tip, not to mention the sporty 18" wheels. The Red Line, in my opinion, is a must if you buy the VUE, it is easily worth $2,000. Interior Since the 2004 update, the VUE's interior is much more sporty and attractive. The Cadillac sourced steering wheel adds a lot to the VUE's interior. VUE's interior is very sporty and modern, its about as appealing as the Equinox's. Though, the "Metallic" trim around the center stack doesn't even look like metal at all. The combination of the charming personality of the VUE and the charming personality of my salesperson really got me thinking what a great SUV the VUE really is. I almost felt bad not buying one... Power/Handling The power from the Honda sourced 3.5 is great. It pulls the VUE with pride and confidence (something the old Opel sourced V6 definitely did not do). The VUE RL felt much faster than the Equinox (VUE's Cousin on the Theta architecture). In fact the VUE RL goes from 0-60 in 7 seconds, at least one second quicker than the Equinox. The VUE's transmission was smooth shifting and allowed for impressive acceleration without any efficiency drawbacks. The VUE also have sharp turn in, and handling abilities thanks to its stiffer suspension which did not jolt the occupants. The Steering is also much improved over the standard VUE. The Red Line should bring more attention to Saturn and the VUE, and with that attention will be $2,000 per person wanting the Red Line Package on their VUE's, however those people better hurry, there will only be 3,000 Red Lines this year, with 7,000 being produced next year. The Red Line comes in Electric Lime Green, Black Onyx (My Tester), or Silver Nickel. I hope however Saturn comes out with a metallic red for its RED LINE. 3 Cheers for GM and Saturn, they definitely have a winner with the VUE Red Line. ************************************************** ****************** The Verdict Pros: Awesome styling, great power Cons: Prices climb quickly, some interior materials are poor, only 3000 made!

The answer is, I don't know. I had a mechanic I trusted taking care of it for a while and I don't remember if we discussed that. The vehicle does have over 100k miles on it and is being sold "as-is", BUT if the winning bid is $4500 or higher, I will include a $400 credit back to cover a new timing belt. If you are the highest bidder over $4500 and take it in and find the timing belt isn't needed and has already been done, then keep the change. If the winning bid is below $4500, I will not include this rebate, as the price you pay will be below blue book and is still a great deal even if you wind up replacing the timing belt yourself. **The prepaid detail is still included in either case.**
