flex vouchers, more money on the trade and the QVC - how do I find any of them?
#24 of 64 Worrying transmission by sbenyik Apr 03, 2005 (5:23 pm)
The power and the look of the Vue was what I gravitated to first. How come it seems that a lot of people who bought Vues also looked at buying an Equinox? Is it because it is built on the same frame? Did Honda's engine lure us all? Well, as probably a few other people can attest, there are a few niggles and minor annoyances with the truck, the fuel mileage is nowhere near where the sticker's and websites put it at, and biggest of all....the transmission seems like its slipping. I bought it new on the last day of September, '04, and whenever the second and third gear upshift comes, I find myself leaning forward.  This is for those of you that won't buy a Saturn because of their pricing policies...I know they don't haggle on price, but I told the sales guy if he gave me $2500 for my trade in....$1000 more than anyone else - including the chevy dealer, that the deal would be done, and sure enough it was accepted.  The fact that it was a demo helped too...they threw in the leather. Unfortunately they aren't heated, and we need to use seat covers in the winter...they are soooo cold!!!  Is anybody finding that the paint is kinda thin? Of my biggest complaints about the truck (besides the fact it gets so dirty so fast - mostly due to the extra wide tires on the RedLine that kick up everything ), is the seethrough paintjob. Although I don't have any chips off the hood in six months of driving, I do have missing paint off the driver's door and on the side of the car...right down to the body. Good thing that they're plastic, or the rust would be showing through already.
#25 of 64 Anybody have problems with Vue's suspension recall? by tricap Apr 19, 2005 (9:57 am)
I have a 2003 Vue, purchased new, which I loathe. Latest problem: after repairs done thru the recall, the ride is rough, steering wheel visibly vibrates, and car feels shaky. Dealer says they didn't do anything to cause problems, blamed the added air recommended for tires. Then they told me to let some air out of the tires and added, "Of course, they wouldn't be safe then."   I just got a buy-back letter from the local dealer. Is this just a marketing tool or a way to avoid admitting that this vehicle is a disaster? Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Apr 20, 2005 6:38 am)

Replying to: tricap (Apr 19, 2005 9:57 am) Marketing tool. Let me guess - something about the dealership needs quality used vehicles, and is offering to buy back your Vue? They are, of course, anxious to sell you another vehicle. They may be counting on your dissatisfaction with your current vehicle to get you in, but yeah, it's marketing.   Please visit our regular Saturn VUE discussion to talk to other owners about problems they may be experiencing. You aren't likely to get that kind of feedback here in the pricing discussion.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions

#29 of 64 Did I do OK? by hiedi May 24, 2005 (1:07 pm)
Good afternoon all! I've been reading the posts and just have to ask!   I bought a 2005 Saturn Vue V6 (not AWD) on March 31st of this year, so I have had it about 6 weeks or so. So far, I LOVE IT!   I traded in my 2001 Chevy Malibu LS (loaded, 45,000 miles) and the Saturn dealer gave me $7900.00 for it! Boy was I surprised, seeing how the Volkswagen dealer said $4900.00 and the Chevy dealer was a measly $5500.00!   Anyway, I leased the Saturn for $290.00 per month, no money down, 15,000 miles per year for 48 months. The Saturn has V6, power, moonroof, leather, heated seats (comfort package with power) and the Care Plan for 48 months, no deductible... I think that's it. The paperwork said something close to $26,500. According to the lease agreement, I will owe $400.00 at the end of the lease to just turn it in; that's assuming that I don't have excess wear. I can't imagine what excess wear I could get, the Malibu was in mint condition!   Did I get a deal? The deal is done, so there is no going back now... maybe I can learn something for next time?   Thanks all! Hiedi   P.S. If anyone was interested, this was in Indianapolis, Indiana.

#31 of 64 GREAT Trade In Deal by myvuesblue Dec 15, 2005 (9:25 am)
I purchased a Blue 2006 4Cyl. Vue in Las Vegas last week. It has the Chrome Skid Plate Package, and Alloy Wheels. I received a $500. Auto Show Discount, AND will be mailed out the free $500. Target Gift Card. Plus a added Internet Discount for $400. We can use at the Parts/Service Center! We traded a 2003 SR5 2WD Toyota Sequoia that ate us alive in fuel/maint. costs. Saturn of West Sahara Gave Us A Even Up Trade With NO OUT OF POCKET Money for us at all! No other dealers we asked would do it; Toyota, Dodge, GM, PLUS all low balled the trade at only 16k to 17k. They claimed that's all they could get at auction for it! Internet Sales Mgr.Gave us $19,320 New Saturn is $19,820. My wife and I both love the way it looks/rides/handles, and are REALLY Happy With The Deal We Got. Saturn Rules! Replies to this message: myvuesblue (Dec 15, 2005 11:18 am)

Replying to: myvuesblue (Dec 15, 2005 9:25 am) I forgot we also got for free; front windows deep tinted (need that here in the desert) floormats and 1 Yr OnStar. We believe the deal was really good, especially with the market for huge SUV's not being that great right now.
