Used saturn redline1/11/2024 ![]() ![]() Good gas mileage if you stay off the gas pedal. Runs and drives just doesn’t feel how it could with new parts. The good-ac blows ice cold and the heat roasts the passenger compartment. I’m trying to be more honest than the guy I got it from, who told me it was ready to go as it sits now. I’m sure I’m forgetting something I found. Tires don’t hold air for long, aluminum wheel problems. Needs pads and rotors all around and the suspension work. Has a slightly rough idle at times probably vacuum related as the boost gauge install appears to be a botch job. Like I said it works perfectly though just feels funny. Not sure why it feels like that but the rest feel normal. Second gear feels funny when you shift into it, no grinds even at redline from first(checked when I bought it because this concerned me) it feels like it only goes half way in but never pops out or grinds. Previous owner clamped on some 2.5 or 3in exhaust after cutting the factory off. That was half tore apart as well when I got it so it had no wipers even on it. Wiper motor and transmission are shot and need to be replaced. The hood does not latch fully closed unless you really slam it. The bad- drivers side window does not work, I think it’s the switch/fuse though as none of the buttons on that door work the passenger side window only goes up and down using the switch on the passenger side door. The supercharger makes instant boost still and the car pulls as it should for a factory setup, sort of surprised me how quick it was for 205hp and 200tq. The previous owner installed a boost gauge and ran it through the drivers door instead of the firewall. The drivers side mirror is busted off from something happening while it was in storage. I was going to replace all of the front suspension components and then upgrade the supercharger/ic etc. It needs a lot of Maintance to get it rite though. I drove it home when I bought it and it made it just fine. I bought the car as a project about a year ago and never got around to it. I have for sale a 2004 Saturn ion Redline 5 speed manual with 134529 on the clock. ![]()
