With regular oil changes, the engine should last around another 100,000. How's the rest of the car?

It's an automatic. The rest of the car seems fine. I'm just worried that its about time to start putting money into it since we haven't yet. So I don't want to pay 3500 for trans then continuously spend more for next few yrs, ESP if it might be big stuff

I own a 2006 saturn vue 2.2. Right now my saturn has over 195,000 on it. I've been using full synthetic oil for yrs and change the transmission oil faithfully every 30,000 miles. It's never had a timing belt change and the transmission shifts perfect, course I have never beaten it to death either. I've heard the engine can last to 250,000. Whether it does or not I plan to get the engine and transmission rebuilt when it does fail. It's a great suv and it puts my 2019 kia sorrento to shame.

The 2006 saturn vue 2.2 is the most dependable suv, while the 2005, and 2007 are lemons.

I have a Saturn Manual 2007 Vue. In the AM clutch pedal flops to floor and cant shift until I turn car off ...put it into gear and pump clutch alot to get air going through. Then I can drive but stick feels stiff. I was told transmission had to be removed to get to the slave cylinder to fix. Over 1000.00 Can I try bleeding the system to see if there is a way I can avoid this cost?? Car has 170, 000 miles and I bought it 6 months ago. 14 Answers

Can it be something other than the Slave Cylinder? No visible leaking or drop in brake/clutch fluid. But a swollen cap on clutch resevoir and fluid is dark.
