Rob,
I have over 230K miles on my one owner 1994 SW2 and consider it the
best car I ever owned. I just took it for a 4 day trip 1/2 way across
the country and will do the full trip cross country after I take my 67
VW camper first. The S series Saturn will last a long time if treated
well and I even get 30mpg. Push the Ford to the side till you can
locate another trans and enjoy the comfort of a Saturn that doesn't
dent : )

BTW you can list the need for a used trans on craigslist when you have
saved the cash.
Change your oil every 3k.
Linda
