The 2005 Saturn Relay: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Saturn Relay for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2005 Saturn Relay? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the Relay
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 91 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, electrical system and structure; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
Power comes from the 3.5L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 13.1 L/100 km, which means roughly 39 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $20.31 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
As a minivan, it puts space for people and luggage first.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A test week in the Relay tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Relay answers the big questions.
Which one to look for
Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.31 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $203.10 at our price setting.
