One of my guys picked one up last fall for a "winter beater"

It became a money pit with transmission issues.

Saturns are pretty popular up here, people do stack the miles on them.

Nice find Brian. I take it you got it for a killer price?

As of right now I have $250 into between the two hubs and about a hour of time to replace it along with adjusting the drum brakes.

I would still win on this deal if it went bad...

My luck this ride would last 200k+ and be the best car ever.... :lol:

If it's got the CVT, good luck...

If you're lucky enough to have a 4L60 (you know the CVT is bad when the 4L60 is considered good!) you'll be ok.

I can have a new tranny put in for $1500...

Like I said, all I have is $250 into it in total!

Last time I checked they sell for $6-7k

I don't think a longitudinal transmission will fit in the Vue. :lol: I think the 4T45 replaced the CVT on the 4 pots. :dunno:

I don't think any of the transmissions in it were ever worth a damn. The CVT was garbage, so bad that it caused GM to abandon CVTs, the 5 speed auto Aisin was a turd, and Honda's 5 speed isn't known for being reliable either.
