Saturn problems

Postby retiredhappy » Mon Nov 30, 2009 8:27 pm

OK here I am happy about my Saturn when my mechanic asks me if I've had any problems. I say, "no" and he says he's hearing about the timing chains breaking and causing extensive damage to the engine. I start worrying about having problems when I'm in the boonies of New Mexico so I stop by my local dealership and they have a cute, RED, Chevy Cobalt that can be towed wheels down and is five years newer than my Saturn. I go on line and check it out and find they've only had one recall and that's been done on this one. They knock $500 off the price if I buy today (end of the month - always a good time to buy). I decide to bite the bullet and trade in the Saturn and they give me a little over Blue book. I'll pick it up Tues or Weds and I had the Saturn's tow thingies taken off and might be able to sell them. My RV guy has ordered the tow thingies for the Colbalt and then I'll be in business.

It has been almost five years now and I am beginning to get the urge to pull onto lots and loooook.......To tow or not to tow, that is still the question....in my mind. Think I need to take a long trip without and think about it some more....cute and red, hum, it make one think......oh, and congratulations!
