I had 220K on my Saturn SW2. Wonderful car: fast, quick handling, 35mpg on the highway, nice 5spd and room for a 10' stick of conduit or pipe, crank windows, manual mirrors, NOTHING complicated. Paid $17k for it out the door.

Then a spark plug disintegrated and scored a cylinder wall. The interior is shot. The paint is starting to flake off the plastic. It's not worth fixing.

My problem is, NOBODY makes what I want: the same thing, only new. :-(

You’re going to have trouble finding a car with manual everything ... best match for a stripper Saturn wagon would be a Nissan Versa Wagon ... price is comparable at $14,480

Have you looked at the Focus or Escort wagons from the early 2000’s?
