The body and interior are in very good condition. The only thing I am concerned about is the servicing and repair/parts costs. Are french cars expensive to repair?.

A couple of weeks ago the coolant lamp turned on; I didn't think much of it, because the car didn't overheat at all and it ran fine. Today, I started my car to go to work. As soon as I started my car the temperature gauge shot all the way to hot. I repeated this process a few times when diagnosing the car, and every time, when I start the car, instantaneously the temperature gauge goes straight to hot, even if the car is cold as a coors light.
I figuired it was most likely the engine coolant temperature sensor. I replaced it. The temperature gauge when starts still goes right away to hot, which has to be a false read, because its 40 degrees here. and when I first put the sensor in, it couldn't have been much warmer.
If it were the thermostat, wouldn't it be a gradual raise of temperature because the water in the engine still needed to be heated up, instead of a instantaneous hot reading?
The coolant level is fine. I inspected the hoses, and they appear good. not crimped. Also the water pump is not leaking. The serp. belt needs to be replaced, but the water pump is still turning, and if it were the water pump; wouldn't it be again a gradual raise in temperature after the car had been sitting in the cold for so long?
The coolant fans are not turning on, even after the car idles for 10-15 minutes. I collect that the fans should turn on immediately, given that the car thinks it's burning up from the get-go. Tomorrow I will jump the fan motors, and try to solve that problem.
There is a check-engine light on, it has been on for some time. This is also something I will check tomorrow. The car still performs very well, and this is the only problem it has had while I have been driving it.
Any help would be appreciated.
PS could it be possible that it is bad wiring? What circuit would it be on? I wrench on cars, but I am not an electrically inclined mechanic, If anyone thinks it is wiring related, please give me some pointers.

I've got currently $11,000 for a car and i make roughly $7,500 a year that can be put towards the car. I turn 18 soon and could start financing with a car with a cosignature. I want either a Mustang, Challenger or Camaro. Pretty much a car where everyday is a Saturday. If I go new I can probably only afford the base model for each car. Money will be tight and all my money will be going to payments. They'll make it work at the dealership, but after gas and insurance, what will be the point. I'll be just a guy with a nice car broke as h*ll with no gf.

I always thought it was a battery problem, but everything works fine. Power everything works...lights are bright. But I used to charge it anyway...would take a while but it would start. However, one day I didn't have anything to jump with and it just started after 15 minutes.

So now i'm not bothering with the fake charge thing. I go out early in the morning...it wont start, come back in 5 minute incriments and it starts eventually. WTF?

does anyone have a good idea of what is going on with this piece? it's a 2005 Saturn Ion2.

Thanks!
actually...think I got it. there is stuff all over the web.
