Vehicle Description
The loss of Saturn from the General Motors corporate family was a
bit tragic, but it also created an instant classic like this 2008
Saturn Sky roadster. With low production numbers, a cool
convertible body, and all the modern conveniences you could want,
this is the affordable way to enjoy a car today and keep a classic
for tomorrow.
Aiming to be a lighter and more nimble companion to the Corvette,
the Saturn Sky has all the great performance design cues we all
love - the long hood, scalloped fenders, sleek profile, and short
rear deck. Plus, Saturn was really doing a great job with their
styling of the front end that was sporty and friendly at the same
time; the chrome windshield surround that paid tribute to their
best muscle cars; and everyone loves the dual buttresses that meet
the headrests. All of this is straight from the factory, just like
well preserved Chili Pepper Red paint and the shiny 18-inch alloy
wheels.
Saturn had some of the best interiors towards the end of its run.
Most of their components were borrowed from the German brand Opel,
and as a result, this American-made roadster had a very European
feel. You'll enjoy the appearance of the piano black accents during
the day, and at night the yellow glow of the dual pod gauges will
be very easy on your eyes. The black leather interior is built
around the driving experience with supportive bucket seats, a
grippy three-spoke steering wheel, and armrests at the perfect
driving height. There are signs of use, but this is far from a
daily driver appliance. This is loaded with all the right features,
including power windows, power locks, dual air bags, keyless entry,
cruise control, and a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input that
can be heard with the top down. Best of all, the air conditioner
remains ice-cold so you can keep it open to the world longer
through the summer.
Under the hood is the original 2.4-liter fuel-injected motor.
Unmodified and maintained properly all its life means its
reliability is uncompromised. This peppy and powerful DOHC motor
was chosen to be the answer to those who thought the Corvette
needed to ditch old pushrod technology. In this lightweight setup,
the Sky delivers the kind of performance you'd expect in a Japanese
or European import but wrapped in American styling. This sporty
spirit is felt every time you hit the open the road. The five-speed
automatic with overdrive always seems to be in the right gear, and
the fully independent suspension loves every corner. Add in great
anytime features such as power steering and four-wheel disc brakes,
and this is an unbeatable driving package.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a fun and easy way to get a
great car to hang onto for years to come. There are many times we
say "I wish I would have bought one back when it was so
affordable." That opportunity is now. Call today!!!
