Our Vue had the Honda V6 with a 5 sp auto. That probably helped with the longevity. CVTs are one option I would avoid whenever possible. 

My wife got 200,000+ miles out of her 2005 Saturn Vue. The only issues were replacing engine mounts around 150k and an AC that had a nagging problem of not cooling that took several garages to finally identify and fix.

The Forth River bridges are cool because you get to see three very different styles right next to each other. Plus seeing them means you are just about in Edinburgh, one of the greatest cities in the world!

Based on the price and condition, I’m thinking this would be ripe for some car-based shenanigans.

That is exactly what the Houston thieves were doing, except with a van rather than a trailer. A trailer would actually give you a better excuse for parking out towards the perimeter of the lot where the tanks are usually located.

So something was trendy in Texas months before California?

That is soooo Aggie.

That was my first thought as well. Of course, having owned a G35 sedan for a 13 year period, I’m a bit biased.

High miles don’t scare me like some of y’all.

If it weren’t for the fact that it is a Chevy Cavalier, this would be a screaming deal:

Uh, if you think a real-deal Porsche 356 can be had for $28,000, then, as Rob Halford likes to say, you got another thing coming.

Not just the removal, but how hard is it to source a stock replacement? While these weren’t rare in their day, they were hardly as common as Mustangs, Camaros, 300Zs, RX7s, or Supras. You don’t see them every day.

A maxed-out Mazda CX-9 gets you AWD, leather, and all bells and whistles except hybrid drivetrain for $50K new. If the luxury requirement is simply leather/power everything, and the badge really doesn’t matter, then Mazda is a fine choice.

Not in the “Recharge” hybrids. The Recharges use electric only for the rear axle and gas only for the front.

It is a Jeep product. Of course parts are readily available.

Exactly! Compared to the POStal Jeep and the FJ, this thing is a walk in the park!

DOH!!!

...rather than like this...

Yeah, right. How many Avenir’s have you seen on the road that look like this?
