2009 Saturn Sky Redline! 2.0 turbo with manual 5-speed transmission. This car is loaded and cost $34,105 new, not counting the dealer applied stripes/lettering and paint protection. Senior owned by me and the previous owner. Been in Florida since new. Never abused, raced, or driven harshly. Always garaged and only driven for a short drive now and then. Only 21,178 pampered miles. Mobil Synthetic oil of course. We get thumbs up every time we take the car out, and numerous people want to look at it. Beautiful triple black with black convertible top, black leather, and black body. Top is like new with no rips or tears. Body is as close to a 10 as you can get. The front bottom spoiler has a few scratches on it due to how low the car is. They cant be seen unless you lie on the ground. Interior a solid 10! Mechanical is a solid 10! No issues with anything. All power options work as they should. This car looks and drives like new. Even has the original tires with plenty of tread left. If you are looking at this car, you know that 2009 had options added to it that the other years did not. Things such as bluetooth, aux. pump for brakes, pressure transmitters on all tires, etc. Yes, they only made 839 manual Redlines for 2009. Figures show a total of 34,415 Skys built from 2007. In 2009, they only built a total of 2,346 Redlines out of 4,178 Skys built. That is why you dont see too many 2009 models. Most people looking at these already know the figures. Engine performs flawlessly with the turbo. 260 horse and 260 torque. Get the GM factory authorized tune at your local GM dealer if you want more power for about $700 total. That takes the horse to 290 and 340 torque in the manual!!! This one is stock and has plenty of power. Driving the 5-speed manual makes this a very fun car to drive. Put the top down or leave it up. Options on this pampered beauty include black leather seats, 6 disc CD, rear spoiler, and the Monsoon Premium Amplified 7 speaker system. This includes the 2.6 door speakers, 2.1A pillar tweeters, and the 2 3.5 rear speakers and 1 subwoofer (all stock). Sounds beautiful. These Skys are already at collector status, and are continuing to rise as they get harder to find. Way too many standard features to list. I can send you a copy of window sticker if you wish, or you can look it up. The 2009 also has the driver 2 way power height adjuster. All power options work. No lights and no issues whatsoever. It is ready to drive anywhere. Freshly waxed and top conditioned. Buyer must pay a $500 deposit through Paypal if you utilize the Buy it Now Option. The car will continue to be advertised until you make that deposit. If you get here and dont believe the car is exactly as I said it is, I will refund your deposit!! No issues and it is ready to drive anywhere you want to take it. If you are out of Florida, fly in and take a nice drive back in a stunning convertible!! Balance of car must be paid in cash before you take it home. I have the clear title in my name in hand. No checks! I will go with your to your bank if you dont want to carry that much cash. But before I release the car and title, I must have the full amount of cash in my hand. Look at my feedback. i have bought and sold several expensive items with excellent feedback. Sorry, no buyers remorse. Once you buy it, it is yours. Please double check with the bank, your wife, your girlfriend, or whomever you need to get permission from. Take a chance on bidding and maybe save a few dollars, or hit the buy it now and own this beauty. Rare and hard to find, especially in this condition....and a 2009. Figures I have found show 16,567 2007s made, 13,662 2008s made, and only 4,178 total Skys made in 2009!! That is why the 2009 is getting harder and harder to find.

GM nixes fleet-only Chevy Captiva Sport

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Well, guys, it looks like Saturn is finally dead in the United States once and for all. According to Automotive News, Chevrolet has discontinued production of its fleet-only Captiva Sport - a rebadged Saturn Vue - after three years on the market. The very last US-spec Captiva Sport was built in Mexico in August. GM will still produce the vehicle for sale in the Mexican market, as well as for export.
GM initially offered the Captiva Sport for rental fleets as a way to free up capacity for the sightly larger Chevy Equinox and GMC Terrain crossovers, which, according to AN, had been in short supply. The Captiva Sport also did a nice job protecting the resale values of its other similar-sized CUVs because they didn't have to play in the fleet market. But with Chevrolet preparing to launch its subcompact Trax CUV in the US, the automaker will soon have a clear, three-tier crossover lineup without the Captiva Sport. The Trax fills out the bottom end, followed by the Equinox and the seven-passenger Traverse.
For now, renters seeking a taste of 'Classic GM' will have to whet their appetites with the fullsize Impala Limited.

US database may have overstated deaths in GM ignition switch recall

Fri, Mar 14 2014

The FARS analysis didn't take into account fatal accidents where the airbags weren't supposed to deploy. Earlier today, we reported that the actual death toll attributable to GM's ignition switch problem had crested the 300 mark according to new research, well up from the original reports of 12 to 13 deaths. Now, word is breaking that the US government database that informed the study that the report was based on may have significantly overstated the correlation between the study and the GM recall. The initial study was conducted by Friedman Research on behalf of the Center for Auto Safety, and used something called the US Fatality Analysis Reporting System. To recap, the study claimed that over a 10-year period, 303 people were killed in Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion coupes and sedans when their airbags failed to deploy. These undeployed airbags were then linked to GM's ignition switch recall, which as we've explained before, can turn the ignition out of the "run" position and into the "off" or "accessory" position, disabling the airbags in the process. Now, according to a report from The Detroit News, which cites research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the National Study Center for Trauma and EMS at the University of Maryland, the FARS analysis didn't take into account fatal accidents in conditions where the airbags weren't supposed to deploy (which isn't to say crashes and deaths weren't caused by loss of control from the ignition switching off in the GM vehicles). According to the report, this was a significant number of the cases. There is another potential problem, too. According to that same report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration uses both FARS and another database on fatalities, called the National Automotive Sampling System/Crashworthiness Data System (NASS/CDS). Where FARS uses what the DetNews calls "not always reliable" police data to record vehicular deaths within 30 days of a crash, NASS/CDS relies on what's known as a probability sample. It collects data on 5,000 crashes each year – including some found in the FARS database – to calculate a probability figure. According to a 2009 IIHS study, "Among crashes common to both databases, NASS/CDS reported deployments for 45 percent of front occupant deaths for which FARS had coded nondeployments." In plain English, FARS doesn't provide a reliable count airbag deployments.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
