One year old Saturn with problems

Written by: flsaturn on Aug 04, 2008 06:27 AM

I bought a 2008 Saturn Aura XE in July 2007, so it's 1 year old, and I'm not very happy with it at the moment. About two weeks after I bought it, I discovered that the trunk, where the spare tire is, was filling up with water. And, when driving, I could take my hands off the wheel, and I'd start veering to the right. And, one morning, I couldn't start the car, so I thought ... Read More...

This is NOT a BMW or a Lexus or Infiniti or any other premium auto Because of changing job situation, I actually traded in my 07 Aura XR for a 2008 Infiniti G35X, which I am leasing. I've had the Infiniti for a couple of weeks now. The Infiniti stickered about $10,000 more (37K vs 27K). The Aura actually does hold its own to the Infiniti in many ways. It has many of the same ...

Re: Also looking to lease a 2008 Aura [brak]

Hi brak. Even though Saturn has traditionally had no-haggle dealerships, most Saturn dealers will negotiate vehicles' selling prices today. I definitely would shop around and try to negotiate a lower price on this car if I was in the market for it. Unfortunately, the $2,500 in cash incentives that you mentioned in your post is not compatible with this car's ... Read More...

Re: GMAC current lease rate?? [kinneyrhs]

Written by: Car_man on May 22, 2008 02:11 AM

You're welcome, kinneyrhs. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Saturn Aura XE V6 with 15,000 miles per year are 4.35% and 62%, respectively. The lease rate for a 39 month lease of this car is the same, but its residual value is 1% lower. Many banks use a tiered system that uses different money factors for consumers depending ...

We just bought a 2008 VUE Redline and love it, and we have 16 grandchildren. The small ones are held in great in car seats in the back. Best get the XE though if your looking for better mileage. Or, wait for the Greenline to arrive. Geo. Read More...

Saturn Aura Real World MPG

Re: Saturn Aura Real World MPG [KarenS]

Written by: winterescape on Apr 27, 2008 07:42 AM

I have 5K miles on a 2008 Aura XE 4cyl. I post all my fuel purchase records at fueleconomy.gov I am seeing about 27 or 28mpg with mixed driving about 60% "highway" and 40% city. No long road trips yet to see what I get for highway only. It did improve fuel economy wise as it broke in and the weather warmed up. I am sure I could get slightly better if I could learn to keep off ... Read More...

GMAC current lease rate??

Written by: kinneyrhs on Apr 01, 2008 09:39 AM

Car_Man, Thank you so much for the helpful advice. I am currently trying to get a deal on a 2008 Saturn Aura. Could you tell me what GMAC's current base lease rate is on the 2008's (I will be using GMS pricing). Also, how do you get this rate? Is it based on credit? Because my dealership told me that you either qualify for a lease or you don't, no difference in rates. Also, ... Read More...
