The 2007 Saturn Ion: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Saturn Ion for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2007 Saturn Ion, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the Ion
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
The figures, translated
The 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Expect about 27 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.0 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.95, and a 300 km weekend about $41.85. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Living with the Ion
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. For luggage, 425 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Try the Ion on your commute, then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Ion answers the big questions.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $139.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Next step
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2007 Saturn Ion from us first.
