Can't find Saturn Relay...
 
How many did Saturn actually sell? Like, six?

sw2cam 04-14-2009 04:54 PM

Why in VanHalens name do you want one of the 13 Chevrolet Relays sold, they are JUNK.

derf 04-14-2009 10:20 PM

wait.....are you bashing Van Halen or the Relay?

It's hard to tell.....:p

I was just wondering if they sold more than 10 total.

never seen one on the road.....

I noticed there was no post in the relay category

Now there is:)

RjION 04-15-2009 08:07 PM

....lol....

budsjlm 06-09-2009 08:05 PM

Whats a relay????.......seriously???..

saturnsdn 08-30-2009 12:28 AM

a van that always seems to have some issue and looks like an Uplander. that I know of I've only seen 1

derf 08-30-2009 06:50 AM

SO there MIGHT be 14 out there....

rlembitz 09-14-2009 09:38 PM

the strange thing is i live in fort collins colorado, and ive seen alot of the relays around. Not a ton, about as many as common as a 90's corvette, but theyre out there

derf 09-16-2009 07:27 PM

so all 14 have migrated to colorado.......

Do you know if they are planning a move to Utah to live as Mormons?

rlembitz 09-17-2009 08:20 PM

haha, well the funniest thing about those cars is that i saw them driving around right after their bail out plan sized advertising attempt.... but not anymore

Wish they all went to the mormons cause those thing can hold more than the legal limit of 2 year olds.

saturnsdn 09-22-2009 01:16 AM

saw another one today so that makes all of 2 that I'm positive about

RjION 10-04-2009 07:51 PM

Relay was the first attempt by GM to kill SATURN
Astra was the final attempt by GM to kill SATURN

The Astra did it's job.

aminal 05-16-2010 11:08 PM

i know for a fact there are three on campus (TXST) , two of them always park next to each other like they are cool.

derf 05-17-2010 06:00 PM

16 and counting...thanks for the spottage

uncljohn 10-22-2010 02:21 AM

Sun of a gun, I saw two of these this week. They were driving down he road next to me.
What is interesting at least to me. I went to look at them when they came out. I was in the market for a new van at the time. Thinking in terms of Saturn being a small car, the van was huge and not what I expected. And frankly rather ugly in my opinion. But the thing that turned me off was Saturns fixed price philosophy, they wanted over $30,000 for the thing. Shortly after words I bought a new Chrysler T&C for 22k, a better deal and stow and go interior.

derf 10-22-2010 09:39 PM

........eighteen
And I donīt know what I want
Eighteen
I just donīt know what I want
Eighteen.........

(we might break 20 yet)

RjION 12-05-2010 09:54 AM

We still use a Relay as the Shuttle Van at the dealer, has around 118k on it ......

derf 12-05-2010 08:10 PM

19 and counting,

oh the suspense

RjION 12-06-2010 08:50 AM

and counting .... lol

slowgls 12-06-2010 01:41 PM

I see a few running around up here in the great white north.Not many, but a few.

derf 12-06-2010 06:20 PM

few = 2 to 3 avg =2.5

total running count 21.5

slowgls 12-07-2010 10:07 AM

And i think i worked on one of the two that i have seen.

sw2cam 12-14-2010 08:56 AM

Not the best GM rig forced on Saturn, kinda like the Astra.

Gonzo 03-05-2011 09:35 PM

My Wife got an 05 Relay, put 63,000 miles on it in two years then somehow I ended up driving it. Wasn't bad since it had all the bell and whistles, but it was still a mini-van. Eventually I got my own VUE...

Darn thing about the Relay was that we had the front end stabilizers replaced five or six times. Don't know why it was eating stabilizers, but they finally got it right...(no charge of course)...

derf 03-06-2011 10:10 PM

24.5.....

derf 03-13-2011 10:13 PM

auto trader says there are 214 for sale right now.

since the vehicle was clearly popular, we'll assume that 2/3 of the relays we already counted were traded in on something "more better" - like pretty much anything-- but then immediately sold to unsuspecting purchasers who thought they were buying a real minivan. So the 2/3 are not part of the 214 because the current owners haven't relisted them for sale out of sheer embarrassment .....

Running count:214+24.5=238.5

(I was going to check ebay and the like, but I didn't want to spend the time crossref'ing VINs to avoid duplicates.......)



uncljohn 03-14-2011 11:56 AM

At the time and needing a new van and owning and happy with a Saturn I drove by to see what was going on and saw;
An over priced, butt ugly, badge engineered Chevy Van with Saturns infamous no haggle price.
So
I bought a new Chrysler at 2/3 that number with seats that folded into the floor and never regretted it.

RjION 04-06-2011 10:38 PM

GM can not get a mini van right no matter what name they put on it. But adding the Saturn logo to that turd was almost as bad as adding the Saturn logo to the biggest turd of all. The Opel Asturd 1.8L slug.

uncljohn 10-24-2011 12:14 AM

Taking my dogs to the Vet last Friday, I saw one of these things. I was actually in the market for a new van when they came out or shortly afterwards I guess. So I went to look at them. At the time I did not realise I needed a full size van, which this is and expected to see something the size of an Astra which I would have bought. I did not expect to see anything as ugly as it was. Bells and whistles besides it was not a looker.
AND pricey. About a year ago I saw one of these badged as a Caddy Excalade. The name did not improve the looks. And talking to my friend in Northern AZ and runs a shop there, they just installed an engine in one. As he said, just like a Chevy. But he also says the local dealers in his area are just blowing off major repairs on the newer Saturns, way too hard to get parts for them.
S cars?
Still the easiest car in the world to repair. But they are dissappearing now. The hardest? according to him. Izusu's. Almost impossible to get parts for some models.

Rubehayseed 10-24-2011 08:54 AM

I live about 100 miles from the Saturn plant in Spring Hill, TN and have never seen one at all. I find that ironic.

derf 10-24-2011 10:44 PM

239.5 thanks to eagle eye unc

I agree. A few months ago I only knew about cars, not how to work on them. Now I have taken one of the S cars apart, and taken mine half apart and put it back together. it still beats hondas off lights.

However, there must be alot more here in jersey than near you, since I see quite a few every day. (however 99% of them are stock :(

Onto topic. I do see one or two saturn relays a week in my random commute. Theres only three of them as far as I know, I always see one of 3 colors (must be a mom since I see them on my way to and from class)

uncljohn 10-25-2011 07:06 AM

Different Saturns seen on occaision
 
:p

But! On the other hand I had never seen the Postal S Car until I visited my friend just south of you. The postman drive their own cars and Bubba had one.
He said that Saturn manufactured a number of them and tried to get a postal contract ***** and didn't so they sold them through there factory sales.
And he bought 2 of them. One is still stashed (as of a couple of years ago) and when he wore the 1st one out he'd start driving the 2nd.

I dunno, seems to me this was a project that should have worked and did not. The S cars when new had personality and appeal, at least to me anyway and in 91 when I needed a car to drive for a service business I worked for owners I talked to who I would see in parking lots raved about them
The problem at the time, which is why I did not get one then was they did not have a station wagon (or I don't remember that they did because I really wanted a coupe) and the fixed sale marketing placed them at about 1/3 more than the competition for a similar car.
I ended up with a Mitsubishi Van which is what I really needed whether I wanted it or not and it was (as I remember) some $4000 cheaper at the time. As I remember it was $10,000 out the door with an optional $1000, 100,000 mile warrenty and I ended up driving 270,000 miles and bought my Saturn Coupe later 2 years old and used.
And I still have it.

242.5 thank you Oct

RjION 01-12-2012 01:10 PM

We had about 10 postal right hand drive SW2's sold via our store. The gal that delivers my mail now owns three of them all white in color. She was a good customer of ours and two of the TECH's from my store have a shop where they keep her SATURNS serviced along with many others.

PS Saturn came out with the SW in 1993. I had three SW2's. 93/98/2001. Why in the hell I ever got rid of my 2001 I'll never know. I was a dumb ass.

Octavious 01-12-2012 09:18 PM

I would love a wagon to be honest

derf 10-10-2014 09:25 AM

245.5 plus the one I saw in Nashville several weeks back = 246.5

uncljohn 10-11-2014 08:33 AM

Saturns must have sold well in the Phoenix area 'cause I still see a lot of them on the road of various configurations. Of course there is no rust issue here at all even if the heat is brutal on the plastic parts. I thought seriously of buying a Van at the time I was looking for a replacement for the used (well used) MOPAR I was driving at the time. But two things deterred me from doing so. The dealer offered absolutely no price break at all so any inducement as to cost was not even a consideration. And at that price, they were butt ugly.

tooter1 05-29-2015 06:02 PM

Found one: 2005 saturn relay

derf 05-29-2015 09:49 PM

Craigslist Nashville. Probably the one I saw.......

So I'll leave the count at 246.5
