2003 Saturn ION:
Simply Stock - Clean Slate
I took delivery of my stock ION on May 23, 2003 from Saturn of Rochester.  Although it seemed to me to be strange that the dealership required me to show them a $500 check just to test drive a vehicle, I couldn't help but love the car once I started driving it.  Also, the staff at SOR were extremely helpful with my first new car buying process.
Specs for this vehicle as stock (for trim level 1 sedan) included:
2.2L Inline 4 cylinder DOHC 16V, 140 HP
5 speed Automatic transmission with grade control logic
Dent resistant exterior panels
14" styled wheel covers with Firestone tires
Daytime running lights and theft deterrent immobilizer
AM/FM stereo with CD
Base price on this vehicle was $12,410.  After CD, AC, scotch guarding and paint protection, and other fees the total came to $15,815.07.  I then saved another $750 for being a recent college graduate.  Also the financing was at 0.0% so it wasn't too bad of a deal in the end.  So far, the Saturn techs have been great with honoring my 3 year warranty.
