Some of you may know that I've been looking for quite a while for a good deal on a used car. Today, I pounced.


It's a 2006 Saturn Ion 2 Quad Coupe. It's very sporty (5 speed, 145 hp). Most importantly,  it's only got 27,000 miles on it! The Edmunds True Market Value (more accurate than Blue Book) was about $7,200. We paid $4,800. One reason is because it was going to be a tough sell here in Hades: no air conditioning. Thank you Craig and your great list.

Oh, and also God. Thanks to you the most. Shouldn't thank Craig without thanking God. That would be a mistake.

Update: just saw the same car being sold by a local dealership. Same year, same mileage (with air)--$9750. Hopefully this isn't one of those too good to be true type stories...

Looks GREAT! Congratulations on a great buy Max! Can you add air somehow?? If not, you could rig up a fan to plug in, in case you get stuck in traffic. Course, you once drove through the mohave desert with no air (our motor home vacation), so you have experience avoiding heat stroke...me, not so much! Enjoy your new car--love, mom

You can have air installed. But not at the dealer, they will rob you.
