07 Saturn Sky Supercharged. on 2040-cars
Elizabeth City, North Carolina, United States
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. |

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.
Car-crazy 5-year-old boy writes automakers for treasures, gets big response
Fri, Jan 25 2019Part of the beauty of children is that they can find worth in something adults might deem unworthy or overlook entirely. Five-year-old Patch Hurty didn't see garbage or a broken piece of a car when he spotted a Ford badge lying on the side of a road. He saw an artifact, a souvenir, a start to a collection he could only dream of. Ezra Dyer of Popular Mechanics tells the story of Patch and his quest to turn that one lost badge into a museum of manufacturer logos. According to the article, Hurty is a car fanatic through and through, even using car names as a way of learning to read. After finding the Ford badge near his Connecticut home, he and his mom put together a plan to reach out to dozens of automakers, confessing his love of things on four wheels. In each letter, Patch assembled a picture of himself standing next to one of the cars, and a penny to pay for whatever he hoped was sent his way. The response was unexpectedly and overwhelmingly positive. Of the more than 50 letters he sent out, including to obscure or defunct companies such as Bugatti, Suzuki, and Saturn, a majority responded with warm notes and some type of souvenir. Two of the coolest responses came from Lincoln and Bentley. Lincoln sent a sketch of a Continental (all car lovers enjoy drawing cars, right?), and Bentley sent a wheel center cap. How awesome is that? The story reminds us of something that can easily be lost in all of the negativity involved with the auto industry: Everybody is in this because of a common infatuation with automobiles. For more details on the souvenirs Patch received and accompanying photos, read the rest of the story.

Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof
Fri, 06 Jan 2012Residents of a Fresno, California apartment building recently awoke to debris falling from their ceiling after a car thief managed to execute a perfect parking job on the structure's roof. Police say 26-year-old Benjamin Tucker stole the Saturn sedan from a nearby house before striking either a curb or some rocks, vaulting the vehicle into the air and onto the roof. After seeing his predicament, Tucker leapt from the roof and fled the scene. Or at least he tried to. Tucker broke his leg in the fall and only made it around a quarter of a mile from the crash when police picked him up.
No one else was harmed in the stunt.
Tucker had two outstanding warrants for his arrest at the time for a hit-and-run and evading police. A special crane had to be called in to remove the Saturn from the apartment roof and the structure will indeed require repairs. Hit the jump for a news report on the incident.
