More beer and more money. [emoji3]4x4, 3/4 ton, and a big block. What else can you ask for?!

You have my condolences. Shortly after my wife and I married, we inherited one, an 00 or 01 best I remember. Good motivation to scrape up for something else.Circumstances have forced me into a 2006 Saturn wagon-- the worst automobile I've ever driven or seen. I have to wonder how the design got past any kind of review. So much of it is downright dangerous. You have to bend and squint to see the climate controls as they're so far down the console and unlit orange digital. The steering column tilt lever is exactly where your knee can bump it at any time while driving, popping the steering wheel up when you don't expect it. The sheet metal dents if you lean on it too hard. It's a piece of junk. And now, parts cost as much as a Jag as it's all obsolete.
HATE it.
I've never tried to flip mine, just drive it.I have a friend who is nuts about Saturns. He's constantly buying/flipping them. He's always got at least one for his own use. I don't get the attraction.
Why? It's not like the insurance is going to give you any more for it if you do flip it. [emoji14]I've never tried to flip mine, just drive it. [emoji14]
Despite my wife's best efforts to mess it up, I have still managed to keep the Vue looking as new as possible, given the fact it's 9 years old.

I know, right?:eusa_doh:
I hope that's because you're getting a sweet deal on the highlander, but I suspect the other is closer to the truth.I know, right?
Everyone is a comedian.
You have to believe it's highway robbery, when my insurance for the 9yr old Saturn is $40 dollars less than the insurance on the 2015 Highlander!
Nothing Golden Era here, but I've been needing a spare kid hauler (the law sort of frowns on just piling 'em in back of a pickup these days). 1 Mach 1's latest got me looking around, and I found this today. (You're on the wife's list now, Harv)
'99 model, it's 4wd, 3/4 ton, with a 454 so it won't be a daily driver, but it'll be fun on the weekends.
Not sure the Saturn is a collector yet, maybe the Neon is.
My guess is the Toyota has a lot more in the way of safety features and accident avoidance systems, hence the rate.
Not under their own power.Boy, Neons were ubiquitous 10 years ago. You don't see many on the road these days.
