Is buying a Saturn Astra a risk?

Maintenance/Repairs

My Mom recently purchased a (very) slightly used fully loaded 2008 Saturn Astra XR 5 door with 8,000 miles. I’m wondering if this wasn’t a terrible mistake. Given that they only made these cars for 1 (2?) years and imported them to the US, AND Saturn is gone, how hard will it be to get parts and to find a good mechanic to work on it? I’ve those kinds of issues with my VW and there are tons of those! I’m interested to see what experts say- is it a bad purchase?
