I bought a Saturn Sky...

you just failed your 'budget project' because you just bought a 14 year old saturn for 13 grand.
I mean, nothing in them is that exotic. It's mostly just GM parts bin stuff isn't it?

I suppose. Not sure how hard it is to get parts for them.

@WasGTIthenGTOthenNOVAthenGTInowA4 if so, it's the prettiest parts bin the General produced in my lifetime.

@Genesis_Haysenhox #vanlife. You could have won the contest by buying an RV. That solves your car and house need for way less money.

@ibRAD @Miss-Mercedes bought hers for $8k, but that was a good price, she says most Redlines are $11k+

It seems a touch high for a non-redline base car, but these days, what do I know?

@Genesis_Haysenhox I did an assignment like this back in highschool. It took into account cost of the car and cost of maintenance.
Dug around autotrader and found an 800 civic. Total POS but I was able to survive.

@Genesis_Haysenhox I got 28 mpg in my Sky doing 80 mph on the drive home. That's not bad for a 3k-pound sports car.
For a small note, there wasn't a 2.5 engine for the Sky, just a 2.4 naturally-aspirated Ecotec LE5 and a 2.0 Ecotec LNF turbo.
$13k for a 60k-mile base Sky isn't a great deal; just $3k more would get you a Red Line from Cars & Bids. But it is the kind of price that I'd expect from a dealership.

@Genesis_Haysenhox I remember doing something like this in high school, but we had to pick new cars for some reason so I picked a Nissan Versa, mother of all cheap boring cars.
