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

First GM ignition switch trial dismissed

Fri, Jan 22 2016

Robert Scheuer has agreed to dismiss his ignition switch claims against General Motors to bring a sudden stop to the first federal trial over the automaker's faulty parts. The lawsuit was the first of six cases that were a bellwether to set a precedent in the complaints. Scheuer didn't receive any financial settlement from GM, according to Reuters. Scheuer alleged that he was injured when his 2003 Saturn Ion went off the road and hit the tree. The airbag didn't deploy, which Scheuer claimed was the result of the faulty ignition switch. GM originally attempted to dismiss the trial over a lack of evidence, but US District Judge Jesse Furman set a January 11 start date for the case. During the trial, GM's attorneys accused Scheuer and his wife of lying and presented evidence of an allegedly altered check stub that they used to purchase a house. Scheuer's defense had claimed that the family was evicted from the home after memory loss from the accident caused Robert to lose the down payment check. After the allegations, Furman pushed for a settlement. He called the trial an "outlier" and "almost worthless as a bellwether case," according to Bloomberg. The next of the six trials begins in March, Reuters reports. Related Video:

Report: GM temporarily restarts Saturn Outlook, Hummer H3 production

Saturn Outlook - Click above for high-res image gallery
Even though both the Saturn and Hummer brands are being phased out, General Motors has reportedly revived production of both the Outlook crossover and H3 SUV to meet consumer demands.
Last month, GM assembled 1,037 Outlooks at its Lansing, Michigan facility, which is where the crossover's Lamda platform stablemates (Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia) are built. A spokesperson for GM states that production was reinstated to utilize the rest of the Saturn-specific material at the facility, and that the automaker will continue to assemble the Outlook for a few more weeks.

303 Deaths Tied To Airbag Non-Deployment In 2 General Motors' Cars

Fri, Mar 14 2014

At least 303 motorists died in car accidents after their airbags didn't deploy in now-recalled General Motors vehicles, according to a study released late last night. The Center for Auto Safety, a non-profit automotive watchdog, reviewed data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, and counted deaths involving the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion, two vehicles at the heart of several ongoing investigations, to reach its conclusion. If the airbag non-deployments were the result of a faulty ignition switch that inadvertently turns them off, the death toll would be the largest in automotive history attributed to a single defect, surpassing the 250 deaths investigators linked to defective Firestone Tires more than a decade ago. The rising death toll would further amplify questions about why GM and federal safety regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration didn't act sooner to correct the problem. Safety advocates have said both GM and NHTSA failed to act in a timely fashion to alert motorists of the dangers posed by the dangerous defect, of which documents GM had knowledge of as early as 2001 and NHTSA knew about in 2007. "The question today for NHTSA is how so many ... death reports without an airbag deployment and so many FARS deaths without an airbag deployment failed to trigger an investigation," wrote Clarence Ditlow, the executive director of the Center for Auto Safety. "... For the people who died or were seriously injured in crashes, the answer comes too late." GM has acknowledged 13 deaths related to the problem, and says the number cited by the Center for Auto Safety study is "speculation." The review of FARS data, conducted by Friedman Research at the request of the Center for Auto Safety, looked at fatal cases in which airbags did not deploy but did not analyze the causes of the crashes. FARS information is raw data submitted to a national database by state and local authorities when fatal accidents occur. Last month, GM recalled 1.37 million cars in the U.S. because a faulty ignition switch had been inadvertently moving from the "run" position to the "accessory" position, turning off engines and systems that provide power to airbags. "Shame is not a strong enough word," said Lou Lombardo, the founder of Care for Crash Victims, another safety-minded nonprofit that advocates for accident victims. The results of the CAS study were first reported by the New York Times.
