With 115k hard earned miles, I traded in my Saturn today. Sure, it needed some love, but it was far from dying. I simply got a deal I couldn't pass up. It's a brand new 2011 Saab 9-3 with awd. No warranty, obviously, but got the car for a song. I've been driving 600-700 miles per week with new job, so this came at a great time. I had a day off of school, walked into the dealer, got a quote, two days later, got a job offer, my parents told me to go back and get the car. That was exactly two weeks ago.
Going to miss that Saturn. The car was amazingly good to me and had great memories in it. It took me to college, and all but the remainder of this semester of grad school. It has towed my toys, hauled couches and other freight, and still ran a 15.8 quarter mile at 88mph. I couldn't even look at him when I pulled out of the dealer. I had named him Theo, by the way.
