You wouldn't think it would be so hard to say good-bye to a car, but it is like saying farewell to a friend. We have had the Saturn for 12 years! I can't believe it has been that long. It has been a remarkable car and we will miss it.
We bought the Saturn when Greg and I had been married about one year. It was our first major purchase and I was so nervous about spending that much money on a car (it was about $11,000). We have more than got our money's worth out of this car - great gas mileage (about 35 highway) and very few repairs. But, all good things must come to an end. We didn't want to sell the Saturn, but we needed a bigger family car with three kids, also we needed to keep a 4-wheel drive vehicle to drive up to the cabin in the winter. So, with great reluctance, we listed our Saturn on KSL.com. We waited, and waited, and waited. Nothing. Finally, my dad bought it to give to my cousin for payment on helping them build their new house.
We love our Honda van and Trooper, but we will always remember our Saturn. Greg nicknamed it "Bob" after Robert Redford, my favorite actor. Good bye Bob, we will miss you.
