I have a Saturn that the transmission and/or torque converter went out, also has power steering problems. In the long run would it be better to sell off this Saturn as parts and get myself a new vehicle? If so, I would like a vehicle that would be somewhat as inexpensive as the Saturn ( I realize, technically all cars are expensive, but Saturn is cheaper than most) but cheaper to fix later on. Thanks for any help anyone is able to give me.

depends on where you are
i know in florida where i live you can find honda civic parts a dime a dozen, they last a far amount and parts are readily available and any auto parts store and there easy to work on

items like that will safe you money on parts as well as labor to install parts because of the simple design of the car

another one is a acura these seem to be a better choice that the honda's as far as what they offer
its like comparing a BMW against a mercedes
both come from a great enginering back ground
but the bmw seems to be a little more sporty
and the mercedes is a little bit more refined as a car

but some cheap and reliable is really what you are looking for
so i would say a 2000 + model honda civic
or a prelude
