2008 Saturn Sky Red Line Convertible, Garage Kept With 20,700 Miles, Outstanding on 2040-cars
After much consideration and soul searching we have made the decision to sell our 2008 Saturn Redline Turbo. This is truely our weekend, date night, top down just have some fun convertible. The car has been kept in our climate controlled garage and never driven in any messy weather. As such, it does not have any issues of a daily driven vehicle. We did get caught in a rainstorm at our house in mountains a couple times in the past so it has been wet...but this is about it. I normally keep the car covered in the garage. As you can tell I am very picky and I also keep up all the maintenance without fail. The car just had a full service and all fluids except anitfreeze done this past spring. I am not going to say the car is perfect or is a "10" as it is 5 years old. When you drive a new car off the lot is it not perfect anymore. The paint is beautiful and may have some very slight road rash on it but if so is very minor. I understand it is hard buying a car on the internet as I am a muscle car collector. However, I will be happy to answer any of the questions I can directly and honestly. As of today and the time of this ad I do not know of anything the car needs. The tires only have 1440 miles on them. I did change the factory Goodyears to Toyo's when I replaced them last year. They tires are like new. Also, I added the "Euro" verson of the windscreen deflector instead of using the plexiglass or mesh units offered here. The glass unit for the Opel GT is much more expensive but it is very superior. There is no need to removed it and replace it everytime the top goes up and down. The car drives straight with absolutely no shakes, shimmies or rattles. All of the lights work as expected and the door seals, tops seals, trunk and hoods seals are excellent and in nearly perfect condition. All mechanicals work excellent and as they should. The AC is ice cold. Wheels have no rubs or scratches. Lights and lenses are clear and bright. As I said, I am very picky and they car has been kept as such. I am willing to pick up at Phx Sky Harbor if you want to fly in and drive home or will help make sure it is loaded properly if you choose to ship. Feel very confident in this purchase. It never fails to get compliments when we take it out. Honestly, it does get more comments than our 2014 Camaro SS convertible and half of my old muscle cars. We really do not want to sell but were are getting ready for another one of my collector cars to come. It has been in a 4 year resoration and I want it in our main garage. Please let me know if you want more pictures or have any questions. I will answer them as quickly as possible. You will be making payment directly to my credit union and they will send you title from our trust directly. Good luck and God Bless |

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair
Fri, Jul 10 2015General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Saturn Ion steering probe closed by NHTSA
Tue, 22 Apr 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has closed its investigation into faulty electric power steering motors affecting 334,728 Saturn Ions from 2004-2007, because General Motors has issued a recall for them. The group's research found that the part failed at a high rate in the vehicles.
GM recalled over 1.3 million vehicles a few weeks ago, including the Ion, because the power steering could suddenly fail. If broken, the cars could still turn, but it took greater effort. The automaker is also covering 96,324 2003 Ions with a lifetime warranty for their motors, but it's not immediately replacing them.
NHTSA opened its investigation into the motors in September 2011, and it found 4,787 complaints and 30,560 warranty claims that showed failure for the Ion alone. It estimated a complaint rate of 14.3 incidents per 1,000 vehicles and warranty claim rate of 9.1 percent. The investigation also found evidence of 12 crashes caused by loss of steering, two of which resulted in injuries.
