You did not mention how many miles. That would be a big factor in restoration versus part-out versus sell outright to someone else who may possibly want to restore it.

Also, is it a stick shift or automatic. 2.4s with the automatic is boring to most enthusiasts, but the automatic is attractive for commuting, especially with the ladies.

I bought my 2007 base Sky with stick shift, 3.5 years ago with 118k miles for $4700. Though it needed no paint work, the list of needed and cosmetic items along with some simple improvements to get it just right, I increased my overall investment to $10,500 plus all my time.

I share this as a warning as to what you might be in for. Perfection quickly becomes addicting as well as costly, but naturally has its rewards. Click on my signature to see how it turned out. BTW, mine needed a new top too. I bought many things including the top, second-hand to control costs.

I think a lot depends on the ability to find either local sellers (in the case of restoration) or buyers (in the case of parting out). It's hard to tell, but it looks from the pictures as if both fender panels have damage. If the hood's undamaged that can be a hot commodity, but I wouldn't want to ship one. Headlights seem to be worth the weight in gold sadly...

Though looking at it, I imagine a shop could shape up the bumper, the front wheel splash guards still have available replacements I believe, fenders can be on a wait-list for reproduction ones and I've seen a couple tops even in just causally looking around. Tailights while just as incommon in theory as the front headlights luckily don't break as much...so I'm gonna echo @rjgramps and say if it's relatively low mileage - it might be better to restore it.

If you want to sell the car in-whole, ping forum member HoosierGXP. He buys whole Skys (car and title in any condition) and parts them out as a serious hobby. He also restores the ones worth his effort.

I can't seem to find him on the member search.

thanks for the comments. I will look at the mileage. I just haven't had time. I am more interested in parting it out or selling the whole car. I have a 1970 Buick GS 455 and a 1967 Chevelle 396SS waiting for attention.

I found him. There needs to be a space Hoosier GXP. thanks.

I need to wait a few days and/or post a few more things before I become an official member. My profile says registered. If someone wants to point Hoosier GXP to this post he can contact me.

You could do it yourself. If you type @Hoosier GXP he will be alerted.

With the info you have posted and the distance and hauling cost you are probably best to find someone closer than me. Pics of the interior and closer pics of the damage parts would also be helpful to any prospective buyer. As noted info like mileage, transmission type ect is always helpful.

Understood. I am getting some responses from folks that want some parts and need to do want you suggest on mileage and better pics. I will be in Kansas City the beginning of June and could haul it up there if your interested. That would cut down on the costs. I would be interested in selling whole car before parting out because I know that is a longer term prospect. Thanks for reaching out.

I just got a 2007 Saturn Sky base model from a friend who got it from a friend as a partial trade. Yea! One of those deals. After looking at the car is seems that there is enough things wrong with it that I don't want to put in the effort (time and $) to repair it and I got several other classic cars in the cue. I would much rather part it out and let others be able to keep their Skys on the road.

Here are the list of things wrong with the car.

• 2 front fenders and wheel well covers broken
• Front bumper cover damaged but probably repairable
• Convertible top worn and old
• Tail lights splintered/cracked
• Instrument cluster eye brow missing
• Vinyl behind shifter cut

Here is what is good

• Drivetrain good. Runs and drives
• Driver seat has a popped seem
• Doors inside and out in good condition
• head lights in good condition
• The rest seems to be in good condition

Does parting it out make more sense than fixing the list?

I am looking for rear mud flaps. Can you sell them separate?

 

[PBallard]

What would you want for the head light assemblies?

Is the hood damaged?
