How to buy a new or used SATURN
My suggestion when buying a Saturn:
Tell the dealer that you want a LIFETIME GUARANTEE against any defect that may cost you over $500 (or whatever cost figure you are willing to absorb). If the dealer says "NO"- then that ought to tell you something about Saturns! If they tell you that you can purchase an extended warranty for $1500 a year- that ought to tell you something about what you can expect from a Saturn! ANY CAR WITH A COSTLY EXTENDED WARRANTY TELLS YOU THAT THE COMPANY NEEDS A LOT OF MONEY TO COVER MAJOR PROBLEMS OCCURING UNDER THOSE WARRANTIES! VW's have a 100,000 mile warranty, for instance. THE BEST INDICATION OF A CAR'S QUALITY IS IT'S WARRANTY! This goes for any product. Compare the warranty of a Rolex to a timex! Most costly problems with Saturns occur between 40,000 and 90,000 miles. Saturn only offers a 36,000 mile warranty. That ought to tell you something about Saturns also! SATURN WITHOLDS COSTLY FLAW INFORMATION FROM OWNERS AS LONG AS IT CAN-UNTIL THEY CAN GET AS MANY CARS OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AS POSSIBLE-TO CUT THEIR LOSSES! (Check out cylinder head casting flaws on 100,000 Saturns!) Mo unprotected ball joints get dirty (especially REAR STABILIZER BALL JOINT LINKS)- wear out in 2 years! Pinched coolant pump rubber gasket during assembly- coolant starts leaking usually right after warranty expires- $350 repair bill; resonator easily develops cracks (many dealers won't weld up the crack- they try to sell you a new one- over $250!)Muffler strap is made of cheap metal- ours rusted through and broke-two and a half years after new (stainless steel or heavy aluminum straps do not break in that short of time) .... , more and more... Send your Saturn horror story or email me for reprint of customer complaints, epidemic flaws and problems: |
