$2.3 million VUE would get GM back in black in a hurry

Typos...they happen. Sometimes, however, they're pretty funny and this is one of those times. Saturn of Oxford Valley, a Pennsylvania dealer, has apparently (and unwittingly) decided to either lead the GM mothership into a new profit renaissance or set a new standard for dealer markups, as
this listing for a 2008 Saturn Vue XE suggests. We like the new Vues; they're nice -- just not two-million-dollars-nice. Sheesh, we shudder to think what dealers in that area are going to ask for the Shelby GT500KR and Dodge Challenger SRT8 now that even Vues have seven-figure price tags.
Thanks for the link, Dennis.[Source:

Read the fine print, it's the price in pennies... so start saving those little Lincolns now...

I wouldn't even want my grandma in such an ugly car.

Flashpoint,
They are worlds apart from the horrid models that came before them. The plastic cladded crap of days gone by.
Plus this is the same model that is supposed to be the first Plug in Hybrid from GM

I couldn't find the fine print here, just a few digits missing.
Link gone, but took a screen shot of the $600 2008 Mazda3:

That includes undercoating and the extended warranty, right?

"Yah, but I'm saying, that TruCoat, you
don't get it, you get oxidation problems...
See, they install that TruCoat
at the factory. There's nothing we can do."

Was looking for a minivan for my friend yesterday on autotrader, found a sweet 2008 Grand Caravan for 179,000$
It was worth it tho, had Swivel'n'Go!

"Well, I was gonna get a Veyron, but I needed the extra seating. I paid a little bit extra, but I totally got my money's worth with my Saturn VUE."

not with the $ in front
kory kickul @ May 16th 2008 8:49AM
usually with saturn you lose 10k in the first year depreciation. now its 2,283,500 in the first year...... ha ha ha ha..... if you take care of the vehicle that is........
PaulPaul @ May 16th 2008 8:57AM
someone from Dubai just bought it...

It is odd to me that on the same day, I see a Vue for $2.3million and a Sky Red Line (http://goodcarbadcar.blogspot.com/2008/05/kijiji-find-new-2007-saturn-sky-red.html) for $11,000 off. What did Seinfeld say? Bizarro world?
Hernan @ May 16th 2008 9:11AM
The funny thing is that is not the only typo. The engine is a 3.6L not a 3.5L. They put the K in kwality.
