This is a Saturn with polymer body panels so they won't rust. Underneath, the frame is in OK shape. Certainly a few years worth of life left in it.
But you are right, it is nothing special. But even if I discount my time and would put as much as $300-400 in it, I couldn't obtain a similar replacement vehicle for less.
