I would pass at that price. They are supposed to be a good vehicle. My neighbor had one before it was written off in an accident.
My son has a 2008 XE AWD with the V-6. Decent vehicle. Average reliability. A little high on the price since you will probably have to replace components affected by age (tires, battery, seals, struts, etc).
sounds ok to me because of age change dex cool and oil right away then drive it on.
Manual or CVT? I was told to avoid the CVT ones by a guy who sold 'em. color?
if CVT, pass. Otherwise, I had the Honda powered Vue for several years and loved it.

I just test drove a 2008 with 150k going for $2500 2 days ago. Body was good. resists rust. Seate were nice. But wow did that thing have issues. Front end crunch. Bad. Exhaust leak under the hood close to engine. Heater core leak in the cabin fumed me out. I was still tempted to buy it. But more research about numerous transmission complaints I gave up. Its also discontinued so parts could be an issue in a few years

Sounds like that was a clapped out, poorly maintained example.
Make sure you're not considering the early CVT when referring to the 08 and up VUE. Those POS transmissions were phased out by 05.
Built as the Chevy Captiva Sport for several years in Mexico for the Mexican and So American Market and as fleet only for the US after Saturn folded.
Plenty of parts and service via Chevrolet or easily found Saturn Authorized Service providers. I've been running an 05 ION since new and have zero problems with parts and service.
