In my entire car history I think I have traded in one car that had more than a $1000 trade-in value. It was a red Saturn SC that I owned for two years, and just couldn't take it any longer. My last two daily drivers (one purchased new, one purchased one year old) had almost 300,000 miles on them when I "traded" them in. No regrets on anything I added to them.

As the previous owner of a red Saturn SC2 who had the car less than 2 years I can 100% understand..

It was my first GM purchase and I have not considered another outside a Corvette.

And I also learned the hard way that GM/Saturn cars depreciate like the Titanic... I was spoiled with Japanese cars.

Those of you who think that is ugly, please give your thoughts on what I could do to mine to make it even nastier than his jaundice-with-sarcoma FR-S. AFU seems to be what brings in the "hunnyz". I was thinking to big wings at least.

I've owned many GM products over the years, and that is truly the only one I regretted purchasing. They really seem on the up-swing these days, at least in the higher end of the spectrum (Trucks/Camaro/Corvette/Cadillac).

I was just lamenting to MomHawk this past weekend that I must be truly getting old in that I would seriously consider purchasing a Cadillac if we needed a larger car. Of course, it might have something to do with the specs on these babies...this is NOT my Father's Cadillac

If you are referring to this one then I am sure the $5 bucks she probably charged for the pic would be in your budget.

Ya, but eventually (soon I hope) it will actually warm up here and I can do stuff outside again. It will drop off a bit then.

Well for the low, low price of about $100K you could pick one up I am sure.
