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

GM ignition switch trial cleared to begin on January 11

Sat, Jan 2 2016

US District Judge Jesse Furman didn't accept General Motor's attempt to dismiss a civil trial over the automaker's faulty ignition switches, and set a January 11 start date for the case to begin, according to Reuters. The judge found that plaintiff Robert Scheuer had the evidence to proceed with the case. Scheuer was injured in an accident in his 2003 Saturn Ion in 2014 when another vehicle forced him off the road, and he crashed into some trees. The airbag didn't deploy, and Scheuer alleged this was the result of the faulty ignition switch. According to Reuters, Scheuer's trial is one of six bellwether cases over GM's ignition switch problem in the coming year. Juries' decisions in these lawsuits should provide an example of how similar trials could end, and these results would help The General decide whether to settle other pending cases or to keep fighting them. The ignition switch fiasco has already cost GM billions. For example, the company's compensation program offered $594.5 million in 399 cases of people killed or injured by the defective parts. Anyone that accepted this money agreed not to sue GM for the problem later. The company also came to a $900 million criminal settlement with the US government and paid $575 million in civil resolutions in September.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
