In reply to the discussion: What is the worst purchase you ever made? Mine was a Saturn car.But you can use any purchases you made that where a dud [View all]genxlib
(5,560 posts)9. My wife bought a Saturn before we were married
I tried to talk her into a Honda Civic which was her second choice but she thought the Saturn was more dressed up.
What it was was a crap economy card dressed up in plastic panels. And unreliable to boot.
Hated that car.
For me personally, I would say that the worst purchase was a Rainsoft water treatment system for the house. They sold it as being a miraculous thing and it turned out to be a bad water softener and and RO unit. Not worth the money even before it started leaking and breaking down. Replaced both and the replacements have lasted twice as long without troubles.

We still have a Saturn SL 2. We can't get rid of the damn thing because we can't find the title.
