her boss like set her up at saturn of syracuse yesterday because he is friends with the manager. we drove an 07 ion. things are weird, gauge cluster is in the middle.
i would never buy a saturn personally and the options of cars they have sucks, but we figured we'd go because we figure the guy would be cool with us and we've never done this before.
her dad has 3,000 GM points.. i don't know if that's $3,000, or points or what, but she can use those. she also can get a discount for just graduating on a GM and jesse told me yesterday that if you trade in a '99 or newer GM towards another GM you get $3,000 off the top. i gotta look into that last one right now.
saturns may not be fancy or the prettiest but they are reliable and cheap and parts for them are cheap and plentiful. go see what she can get on a 08 impala or malibu, there are dealers dying to offload those at such redic low prices. and if you can get the extra 3k deals then its gonna be hard to argue the price.
and have her take a look at the HHR ... yea yea lots of people hate on them but ive spent some time in the one my dad drives and i like it and it has like zero options lol. they even have a SS version now and those things have sooo much room inside and get great mileage and are comfy to drive imo
