2004 Saturn Ion Redline (Supercharged) - $3000
Name: Gabriel
Location: College Park, MD
Means of contact: Call or text - 240-750-0579
Price: $3000 OBO - Trades considered (pretty much anything; trades + cash as well)
Description: I bought this from a friend of a friend last year who had originally purchased the car brand new from Saturn. The car has aftermarket injectors, a ZZP tune of unknown stage, and a gutted cat. Has just a hair over 80,000 miles on it and is in overall more than decent shape.
All tires will pass inspection, I had purchased two new fronts and two new rears (fronts match/rears match) but unfortunately got a flat and had to replace the rear right with a non-matching tire.
Current issues: When I first got it it ran pretty well aside from some idle issues on first startup that resolved once the car was warm. After a few months I started having some breakup in the higher RPMs and I resolved it by replacing all the spark plugs. Fast forward about 6-7 months and the high RPM breakup has reappeared although it is not consistent. Were I to keep it I would get it retuned as it does smell pretty rich at idle, although this could be due to some other issue. It does seem like it might have a boost leak.
There are a couple of other miscellaneous common GM issues listed below:
Other than the above she's a great car and is loads of fun -- pulls like a freight train and the supercharger whine is adorable. I was considering keeping it and thrashing it about the track but I've since bought an 09 GTR and that keeps me busy enough.
Pictures (engine bay + interior soon):

There are a couple of other miscellaneous common GM issues listed below:
- Right turn signal bulb holder shorts the bulb and will need replaced.
- Winshield wiper transmission plastic pivot point is blown and needs replaced. I am including an upgraded all metal wiper transmission with the sale of the car.
- Minor exhaust leak post downpipe.
