I sold my 1995 Saturn SL1 "George" today. He had been a reliable and faithful friend for the past 10 years (I bought him in 1998) during which time I put about 110k on him. He'd started to develop the shakes while accelerating and at higher speeds, and since he had served his purpose as an emergency back-up for the Bug this winter, it was time to send him to a new home.
The people who bought him were a couple of young folks. The girl had just relocated from Florida and needed a car to get her from her home to the Metro and back; she was accompanied by her uncle (who was probably our age) who liked to tinker with cars. In fact, he was restoring a Mercedes turbo-diesel from the 80s, and had already converted another Merc diesel to run on veggie oil. Since George had some issues and needed some work to be perfect, I felt that it was a good match and let him go for a bit less than I had hoped. It's okay though, because he's gone now, to a good home I think. That's all I could have hoped for.
Thanks George! For all the times we've had, all the miles we've driven, it's been swell.
DH is mad I didn't take my St John bumper sticker off the trunk lid. Oh well.
