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 |

Recalled Saturn Ion facing separate federal safety probe
Fri, 21 Mar 2014General Motors may be staring down another recall campaign for one of its models already embroiled in its high-profile ignition recall. The 2003-2007 Saturn Ion is already among the 1.6-million vehicles being recalled for faulty ignition switches, and now new light is being shed on a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation over 2004-2007 models centering on a loss of power steering.
The government safety regulator has received 846 complaints about the problem and claims that GM has had 3,489 reports of failure. Of those cases, there have been 16 accidents and 2 injuries reported, according to Automotive News. While NHTSA has been conducting an investigation since September 2011, no recall has been issued yet.
The inquiry's length was brought to light by an organization called the National Legal and Policy Center that alleges GM and NHTSA have known about the problem but are delaying a recall. It has sent a letter to CEO Mary Barra asking "to recall Saturn Ions for the model years 2004 through 2007 without further delay." The letter in question is available in full on the group's website.
US database may have overstated deaths in GM ignition switch recall
Fri, Mar 14 2014The 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.
GM calling in 56k Saturn Aura sedans over shift cables
Thu, 08 May 2014General Motors may have made a few mistakes when it came to the whole ignition-switch debacle, and it will likely be dealing with the consequences for some time to come. But you have to hand it to Mary Barra and her team, because they're determined to clean house and avoid the same mistakes. That's why the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Detroit has been issuing recalls left, right and Renaissance Center. Aside from those vehicles fitted with the faulty ignition switches, GM has recalled over 50,000 Cadillac SRXs, another 50 heavy-duty pickups and some 51,000 full-size crossovers. There are bound to be more to come, and now it's issued another 50k-unit recall over faulty shift cables in the transmission.
The recall affects 2007 and 2008 Saturn Auras fitted with the four-speed automatic transmission manufactured between April 24, 2006, and October 31, 2007. The recall doesn't affect models equipped with the six-speed automatic, or for that matter any of the Aura's Epsilon platform-mates like the Chevy Malibu, Pontiac G6, Opel Signum and Vectra, Saab 9-3 or - carrying over from Fiat's aborted partnership with GM - the Fiat Croma, although many of those models used the same 4T40 transmission employed in the Aura.
In the affected vehicles, the shift cable might fracture while in motion, preventing the transmission from shifting into Park or the ignition from switching off, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration figures could lead to the car rolling away. Hence the recall of 56,214 units in the United States, owners of which can expect to hear from their dealership in due course to have the necessary components replaced.
