After 6 years of ownership, and 197,000km and change (123k miles) of driving, I drove my 2009 Pontiac G5 to the recycler this morning. Got $420 for it, which is more than I expected. Everything still worked on the car, AC even blew ice cold, but rust was getting too bad as often happens with these cars. Never, ever expected to get THAT much use out of it; thought maybe 2 years and it would fall apart by then. It did need a fair amount of repairs to keep going, but with no car payment it made sense to keep going. I will keep doing my commute now with what was my wife’s 2016 Jeep Patriot 2.4 with 136,000k on it now. Yes, it too will need lots of work to keep going, but again, paid for vehicle.

Well, you got your use out of it. It's frustrating when rust claims them when the car is running great.
Too bad. No way to arrest the rust and do some fill work?
