Used Car of the Day: 2004 Saturn Ion Redline

I really wish the ad for this 2004 Saturn Ion Redline had more images and copy -- I nearly had to reject it because the ad is so thin.


But I kept it because well, we don't see Saturn Ion Redlines a ton in this space, and they're kinda cool.

This one has just shy of 80K miles and apparently is in "excellent" condition.

Though, look at those panel gaps!

It has an aftermarket audio system with a subwoofer, as well, and the price tag is $8,500.

I can't even tell you where's located, that information seems to be missing from the post, but it appears to be a place where it snows.

Anyway, click here for more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Saturn -- can't dent those plastic panels but you can fit a finger between the panel gaps. Jack Smith really showed up those imports with this design -- not!

      The panel gaps are intentional because plastic contracts as well as expands ... But in an era of ever-tightening tolerances, it didn't look good. Today it would be hailed a "brave" and a "disruption."

  • SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
  • SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.

  • Lou_BC I guess I should pry all of the logos off my vehicle. That is a form of advertising. Anyone wearing 'branded" clothing?
