I used to feel that way when my first 2 alternators died just days out of warranty. However at 11 years and 112,000 miles those alternators are the bulk of what I've spent so I'm feeling much better about my 94 SL1. Of course the fact that it passed inspection last month so I've got another "free" year on it and plenty of time to check out the '06 models and colors has also helped my current attitude toward Saturn. It always hurts when you've got to shell out a bunch of money for repairs all at once, but if you amortize the total cost over the life of the car is the cost per year that bad? If you've got 99,000 miles it sounds like you got a very early VUE; I've always subscribed to the folklore that cars have a lot of problems their first year or 2 so buy a little later. 94 seems to have been a good year for the S; I think '06 will be a good one for the ION. ron |

I have a 2004 VUE. It's been quite reliable and is great for
long-distance driving. It's also got plenty of power.... Best of luck with whatever car you do get. mh |
