can you still get parts for saturn cars

Yes, you can still get parts for Saturn cars, but it requires knowing where to look and accepting that some parts are becoming scarce. Since General Motors (GM) discontinued the Saturn brand in 2010, genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are no longer being produced. However, your best bets are online retailers, specialized salvage yards, and the aftermarket parts industry.

The key is understanding which parts are shared with other GM vehicles. Many Saturn models, especially those from the 2000s like the Ion, Vue, and Aura, share platforms and components with Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Buick models. For example, an engine or transmission from a Chevrolet Cobalt might be compatible with a Saturn Ion. This dramatically increases the availability of mechanical and powertrain components.

For body panels, interior trim, and brand-specific parts, the search becomes more challenging. Here’s a breakdown of common part sources and their typical availability:

Part Category	Availability & Key Sources	Notes
Engine & Drivetrain	High (Aftermarket, Salvage)	Shared with many GM vehicles like Chevrolet Cobalt, HHR, Pontiac G5.
Brakes & Suspension	High (Aftermarket, Online)	Wear-and-tear items are widely reproduced by companies like ACDelco, Duralast.
Electrical Components	Medium (Salvage, Online)	Sensors and switches can be found, but brand-specific modules are rarer.
Body Panels & Lights	Low to Medium (Salvage, NOS)	Front fenders, bumpers, and headlights are often the hardest to find new.
Interior Trim	Low (Salvage, Online Forums)	Saturn-specific dashboards, buttons, and upholstery require patience to locate.

Your primary resources will be websites like RockAuto.com, which aggregates aftermarket parts, and car-specific forums where owners buy, sell, and trade parts. For discontinued parts, a U-Pull-It salvage yard is often the most reliable solution. While owning a Saturn today requires more effort, a dedicated owner can keep their car on the road for years to come.

It's definitely a hunt, but yeah, you can find parts. My Saturn's still my daily driver. I mostly shop online at RockAuto—they have a ton of the common stuff like brakes and filters. For the weird little interior piece I needed, I found it on eBay from a guy parting out his car. The key is to join a Saturn owner's group on Facebook; those folks know everything and are always selling parts to each other. It's a community effort now.

As a mechanic, I see a few Saturns in the shop. The mechanical parts aren't the big problem. Things like engines, alternators, and brake pads are shared with other GM cars, so we can get them easily. The real headache is the Saturn-only stuff: a cracked dashboard, a broken exterior mirror, or a faulty body control module. For those, we have to call specialized salvage yards. It adds time and cost to a repair, so owners need to be prepared for that.
