Mechanics’ Least Recommended Used Cars for Value, Ranked

#24: Saturn Ion

Price: $12,725

Produced from 2003 to 2007, the Saturn Ion initially promised reliability but fell short due to early production flaws. Despite rectifying glitches, the model garnered negative perceptions, plagued by recalls for external lighting, steering, parking brakes, transmission, and gas cap troubles, leading to the omnipresent ‘Check Engine’ light.

The Saturn Ion’s journey was marred by persistent bugs and design flaws, solidifying its status as an unpopular choice despite efforts to resolve issues during 2003-2005.
