My wife’s 2003 Saturn is DOA, VTI trans went out and was quoted $4,500 to rebuild and only warranty work for 12,000 miles or 1-year.
Book value less than repairs. Will never run again.
Has been down for 5 months, this nails it shut.
I drive a Chevy Silverado Pickup and it will be my last.
As a previous Saturn owner, I am not at all saddened by this announcment.
My experience was similar to yours on a brand new 1997 SC2.
I put less money into a used Honda that was 2 years older at the time.
Saturn = POS
A lot of folks like me will buy a GM product when the Devil ice skates to work. My epiphany was caused by a 1981 Pontiac Phoenix and reinforced over the years by renting some GM junk on business trips and the unfortunate experience of various friends and relatives who bought GM products.
