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 |

Are orphan cars better deals?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Most 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.
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.
