#36 of 66 Re: question on leasing 2007 Aura XE [lulilu] by noles200 Aug 31, 2007 (8:11 pm)
Replying to: lulilu (Aug 31, 2007 8:27 am) What dealer in central Jersey? I just bought in NJ too. If you want to contact me get me post your email address. Don't believe for a minute Saturn won't deal. I don't know how they are coming up with that payment based on the numbers you have above. I'm getting about $204 (before gap and tax of course but that doesn't equal $73 per month!) Something isn't adding up there. Also, I got $1,500 cash back, not $1,250. That cash back deal ends Sept 4th so you have until Monday. Of course, they'll end up with another deal in September (they still need to get rid of the '07's so you may get $2K in Sept. Saturn also needs to sell cars as they are slightly below projected sales for the Aura for the first year.   BTW, why 24 months and not 36? Replies to this message: lulilu (Aug 31, 2007 9:17 pm)

Replying to: noles200 (Aug 31, 2007 8:11 pm) noles200, thank you for your response. The dealer is Saturn of Brunswick, a DCH company. The price for 39 months that they offered is 269 (also with 1995 down pay). There is some uncertainty in my life in two years so I want to go with a 24 month term. Could you pls send the dealer and agent information and the numbers you got to me at luyiyaogmail.com? Thanks in advance. By the way, I am in Princeton.
#38 of 66 Positive experience with Saturn of Fairfax by toybenz Oct 01, 2007 (10:12 am)
I just wanted to say that I have had a VERY positive experience with Saturn of Fairfax, VA. Not only do I love my '07 Aura XE (my first domestic vehicle in 20 years), but the entire buying process was a pleasure. No hassle and high trade-in were plusses. I had owned 4 Honda products and 1 Toyota product previously, and was leaning toward a new Accord. However, I was not happy with the sales practices of the Honda dealers I recently visited in Northern VA. Saturn was a pleasant surprise. I do consider myself a foreign-car junkie, but if you are in the market for a mid-size sedan, you owe it to yourself to at least look at the AURA. (BTW, besides Accord 4 and v6, I looked at Fusion v6, G6v6, Malibuv6, Jetta, Camry SE (4 and V6), and Mazda 6 (4 and v6).

#39 of 66 Unbelievable sales experience at Saturn of South County in STL by chrono Oct 01, 2007 (11:40 am)
Replying to: toybenz (Oct 01, 2007 10:12 am) I also wanted to express my very positive sales experience with Saturn of South County in Saint Louis. I've owned several Honda's and a bmw in the past and Saturn has been the best buying experience ever. Blaine, my internet salesman was working with me over one month to get me this deal. He was no pressure yet responded to all of my questions promptly. He informed me on the current incentives and gave me a heads up to the extra 1k cash back that started a week ago. I could not trade my car in since the prices were too low so he helped me sell my car on Craigslist giving me tips to attract buyers (and it worked). I purchased a brand new 07 Ocean Mist XR for 21K after the 3500 in rebates. I feel like I stole the car at this price. I just want to say Saturn is truly a different car company and they have me for a long while! Replies to this message: drwilsc (Oct 01, 2007 4:59 pm)

Replying to: chrono (Oct 01, 2007 11:40 am) Too bad about the Cards. Oh well, at least my Tribe is in the playoffs.   The Saturn experience does go beyond buying the car. The service centers at the dealers are just as friendly and customer-oriented. I had positive experiences with my old Saturns in the 90's with Saturn service departments, and that was a major factor in making me choose Saturn again.
#41 of 66 Bad experience in Savannah/Great in Jacksonville by steelerman Oct 14, 2007 (11:06 am)
07 Aura XR:   MSRP: $27,208.00 Price Paid: $22,886.65 (Received GM Employee price minus $2,000 GM Discount)plus TTL   Experience: Went to local Savannah dealer where I received a test drive. The salesman was great and when I asked them to run the numbers, they wanted me to buy various dealer add-ons like door guards, upholstery protection and paint protection that ran the price up over $1,000 above MSPR. The sales manager was very rude when I indicated that I did not want the add-ons. She said that Saturn was "no haggle" and that she could charge for the add-ons if she wanted and she would not consider the fact that I did not want these things. I told her that I would find a dealer that would not force their customers to buy add-ons. She told me that I would not find another dealer willing to do that within 200 miles. So the next day I drove to Jacksonville, Fl (130 miles) and drove home with a new Aura. The dealer offered many of the same add-ons, but I did not pay for anything that I did not want. Thank you to Orange Park Saturn in Jacksonville Fl! Shame on Saturn Savannah!

Replying to: steelerman (Oct 14, 2007 11:06 am) You know what they say: 'There's a rotten apple in every barrel'. Evidently that applies to Saturn dealers as well.   Congrads on your purchase! You ended up getting a great deal.

Shame on Saturn Savannah!   You should drive over to that Savannah dealer and wave the keys in the sales manager's face and let her know that her attitude cost them a sale.   I know I would.

But now that I think about it, there is no reason that I can think of why I can't take it to the very friendly Chevy dealer for oil changes and such....
