If you have visited the Saturn Sky Roadster forum you know me.   Liveaboard74  Been on there the whole 5 years I've owned the car.  
Bought the car out of Calif cause I really liked the look and had fun turning it up a notch. Wanted something that was fun to run out to dinner with and looked sharp, got good fuel millage and it does get 30+ mpg and easy to get around in traffic. 
 
 Dropped it off at DDM in Spartingburg SC and they installed the supercharger, stereo and heavier clutch for me.  Car had 24000 miles on it when I bought it 5 years ago and only has 35000 on it now. 
Car was fixed when I bought it and GF liked it so let her have it  and bought a Corvette.  Did some fixing up on that then we went our different ways, so I got the Sky back. 
 
Keep the vette for three years, just traded it for a 08 STS Caddy then daughter called right that change   and said she was losing her G6 so I paid the note off on that and we got her something cheaper that I paid for that had more room. .  Daddy is tapped out and she has 2 kids so the sky was way off base for her.  Needed room anyway.   

So I've ended up with three cars and a 35000 pickup truck and want a boat. !!!   LOL   
Between the vette and the caddy I got back into pro drag racing so the "SHOW Street Cars"  just won't that important any more.  The About ME on here has a couple of photos on it of the dragster and stuck a photo of the two new additions in there.  (Cars) .   

Sky is perfect. Needs nothing.
, AC will freeze you out, tires are all about new, and the Foose Rims shine like new and they are standard size.  I don't ever change the size of the tire the car is suppose to have.   
Month  after I bought the car took it to DDM in Greenville SC  and had the supercharger , clutch and stereo installed.  Pioneer stereo twin amps, twin subs, solo exhaust and tips, high flow cat, but  the car DOES NOT sound like a ricer.  I had a silencer installed after I got it home and didn't like the little to loud for me noise and it does have a wind screen.  Two actually .  One is still new, the one on it has Fountain wrote on it for Fountain Boats.  Little River Motorsports on the back window but both are stick on so easy to remove. .   
Aftermarket clutch , gauge pod on window side with boost and fuel.  Rubber SKY floor mats, leather sun visor covers, knitted center console, and a dash cover so I fixed it up nice but didn't want it busy looking.  

Payment. 
If you buy it now or I accept the offer put 300 on pay pal within 12 hours and the rest is BANK CHECK  ONLY. I will contact you right after auction ends with a phone number.  
PLEASE READ >   No personal checks, no money orders, money grams and cash works any day of the week and bank check can ONLY be for the remainder of the pay off.!!! 



Shipping. 
Three ways to do it.  
1.  You can fly in and GF or I will pick you up out  of Norfolk VA Airport and get you to the car or have the car there for you. .. No charge. 
2.  I'll drive it to you if your less than 1000 miles.  Pay the fuel, my eats, and a plane ticket home.  You own me nothing.  I'm a coast to coast car hauler so 1000 miles a day is nothing to me. I'd enjoy the ride. Might even bring the GF I'll pay her way home and expenses. .  :) 
3.   Ship it by car hauler.  I can help you set that up with someone also. 
If your over seas its all on you.  I work out of the Brunswick GA port hauling cars from there or the Norfolk port I have a pass for both of those but anywhere else its up to you to do all the planning. 


SPAMMERS>   Don't waist YOUR TIME wanting to send me a check for more than the amount of the car and me send money to someone to transport the car at a totally stupid rate.  I am a transporter and actually had something try and pull this on me.   Those guys don't give up. 

Not interested in any types of trade.   Wanting to sell the sky to buy a pontoon boat so if it rolls on tires i'm not interested.  LOL  
Thanks for taking the time to read it all.  Just wanted to let everyone know why its being sold and over 800+ feedback i'm not going to sell you something that would hurt my rating or come back on me.  
Thanks and be safe.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Saturn Astra XR 3-Door Hatchback

Sun, Mar 13 2022

GM's Saturn brand spent the first part of the 2000s shifting over to vehicles on global corporate platforms, then spent the second half of the decade increasingly flailing for relevance as The General itself struggled to stay upright. By 2008, prospects for Saturn— and the American economy in general— didn't look so great, but that was the first model year for the Saturn-badged Opel Astra in North America. The announcement that the axe would be falling on Saturn came the following year, soon after GM declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and so 2009 became the final year for the Saturn Astra. Some MY2010 Saturns were sold (the Sky, Outlook, and Aura), but the Astra shares the dubious honor of the shortest Saturn sales run with the long-forgotten Saturn Relay minivan. For this reason, I keep my junkyard eye open for discarded Astras, and finally found this very clean '08 three-door in a Denver self-service yard last week. The Astra could be purchased with three doors or five, in two very similar trim levels. This car is the three-door, which was available only in semi-high-zoot XR trim. I'm not sure if the Opel Astra got these GM "Mark of Excellence" fender badges, but all American-market 2005-2009 GM vehicles have them (not counting stuff bearing the crypto-GM Suzuki badge). I've got dozens of these badges glued to my garage wall, because why not? Just one engine was available in the Saturn Astra: a 1.8-liter Ecotec four rated at 138 horsepower. The Ecotec has proven to be an unusually reliable engine, but I suspect that this one died in some expensive manner (because the rest of the car looks so nice) and that's why the car is here now. The base transmission in the Astra was a five-on-the-floor manual, and that's what this car has. The four-speed automatic cost an extra $1,325 on an $18,375 car (that's about  $1,765 on a $24,475 car in 2022 dollars), so either the original purchaser of this car preferred three-pedal driving or was just a cheapskate. I haven't seen enough junkyard Astras to know if the manual transmission is very rare in these cars; the five-door I found a few years back had the automatic. Presumably, an American car shopper looking for the European-style driving experience of an Opel might prefer the manual. Built in Antwerp, Belgium! As this was just a rebadged Opel, the Astra did not have the standard GM radio faceplate found in everything from the Chevrolet Equinox to the Saab 9-3.
