Did resale value fall out of 3rd door?

The no-dicker sales experience was great, 3rd door was cute and useful. With back seats down remarkable trunk space-it handled hauling many good sized items. However, when we bought an'03 Mitsubishi Spyder convertable, found out the $20K Saturn is barely worth $10K after <1 1/2 yrs. Air cond. crapped out & dealer fixed it promptly for free. Hated window controls in the center-never could get used to that. Very uncomfortable for anyone over 6' tall: I could recline the seats enough to fit, but had to cock my head to one side, up into the sun-roof area to sit upright while driving. Impossible to see the front of the hood to judge front-end clearance.
great for the price

I purchased this car after I totaled my 1998 Grand Am GT. For my job I drive a LOT, about 2500 miles a month. It has been great since I can keep more of my money. I haven't had to fix it, it takes half as much gas as the dual exhaust GT, and it is completely reliable. Although it is not the best looking car or the most comfortable, (the interior is tiny), I love that it was cheap and I am not spending all my hard earned dough in a money pit like I was my Grand Am. I bought it for 7k, and it only had 18k miles on it. It is a great car for one or two, but when we have kids I will prob get a VUE.

I have owned my Saturn SL for over a year now and was looking to trade it in. I was shocked that the resale is not even half of what I paid for the car. My car only has 10,000 miles and is in great condition. I was told by my dealership that Saturn's hold their value well and that is definetly not the case
Saturn's best model

I bought this car used, with 37,000 and so far so good. Its a commuter car. I travel 53 miles a day back and fourth to work and so far it hasnot let me down. I got it for a great price too, and its low to insure, cheap to maintain, great reliblity. THIS CAR IS NOT A LEMON. THERE IS NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE RAN INTO LIKE THE OTHER REIVEWS SAID. Talk about good gas milage. If your a commuter, well, this is your car just take car of it. Its roomey too! Lots of room for a compact. Dont buy a ion. Buy a sl its a better and more reliable car.
Great Buy

I could not be happier with this car. It is a fun car to drive and I have not had any repair issues or problems. It gets great gas mileage and the plastic panels are great especially in the midwest weather. My next car will be another Saturn.
