How many miles?
 
I was just commenting on a new member's post and mentioned that I've put almost 100k miles on mine since I got it.
I had to stop and think about that for a minute.
One of the reasons I bought it just less than 5 years ago was because it "only" had 111k miles on it. It had been decades since I had bought a car with so few miles on it.
Anyway, now it's got over 208k miles. That's just 3k shy of 100,000 miles in less than five years. I've replaced the starter, the water pump, fixed a reverse slam/lost reverse-second gear issue and fixed a cracked intake manifold issue.
I've spent more money on tires and brake pads than I have on any of this other stuff and the car still runs great and can be relied on to get us where we need to go.
We've hit almost a dozen deer with this thing on our winding country road and still no dents! Gotta love that plastic body!
This is truly one of the best cars I've had. I would not be surprised to see it hit 300k before I'm done.

That being said, I'm wondering:
How many miles anyone else here has (or has had if it's gone) on their Saturn S series? (or any Saturn for that matter)

I installed a 2003 2.2 in my 2002 L200 both the engine and the body have about 206,000 on them. I bought the wrecked 2003 just for the engine. I replaced the broken oil pan and looked under the valve cover, everything looked great. My commute is 60 miles a day so the poor car gets 300 miles a week minimum. I do have another complete engine if this one starts to act up.

miles on Saturn
 
I bought a Saturn SC 1992 last week that has ONLY " 7,212 " actual miles on it. And have papers to verify. Can someone tell me if it can be towed flat on ground behind a motorhome. Has man. 5 speed trans.

@ernalamo1: shouldn't be a problem. A stick shift tranny in neutral will still turn gears when towed thus keeping the gear lube moving and doing its job.
Now if you had an automatic normally the answer would have been no but the S series automatic, besides being quirky, is also designed so that you can tow it too with all four on the ground. My automatic SW2 spent most of its life as a "toad" behind a motor-home before I bought it.
