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

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

Car thief lands Saturn on Fresno roof

Fri, 06 Jan 2012

Residents 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.

Even Saturn prices are leaving the stratosphere as used-car demand soars

Mon, Jun 7 2021

Initially marketed as "a different kind of car company," General Motors-owned Saturn unceremoniously closed its doors in early 2010 after years of slumping sales and degradation of the brand. The firm's star is unexpectedly beginning to rise again as demand for used cars balloons in America, and values of used Saturn models are outpacing the industry average. Citing data provided by Car Gurus, The Drive is reporting that Saturn's transaction prices have increased more than any other carmaker's during the past 90 days. They've gone up by 26.15% since March 2021, and they've skyrocketed by 30.24% since June 2020. For context, Subaru posted increases of 12.13% and 20.26%, respectively, and the industry-wide averages stand at 17.11% and 30.23%. Used cars are more expensive across the board, but luxury models generally gained less value than cheaper models built by mainstream brands. In spite of the increase, Saturn's transaction prices remain the lowest on the market, according to the same source. The average sale is pegged at $6,284, versus $23,734 for Toyota and $17,507 for Kia. One factor undoubtedly influencing this difference is that, as we mentioned, the last Saturn was built over a decade ago. There's no such thing as a late-model Saturn, so all of its cars are lugging around 10-plus years of depreciation. If you want to surf this trend, the most expensive Saturn is the Outlook (2007-2010), an SUV that was basically a GMC Acadia with a different badge. It sells for $6,770, on average. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the humble Ion (2003-2007; pictured) trades hands for $4,446; it dented Saturn's average by losing 0.49% of its value during the past 30 days. What this means in the grand scheme of things is open to debate. What's certain is that more motorists are buying used as the ongoing chip shortage creates delivery delays and leaves dealers with low inventory levels, a situation forcing companies to take unprecedented measures. Ford is offering a $1,000 incentive to keep buyers in the fold, for example. Some might end up with their name on a Saturn title simply because it was the first car they stumbled upon. Others, especially drivers 30 and older, might remember the brand's reputation for building value-packed cars that were vaguely interesting.
