Yep. In 1986 I bought a fully loaded Buick Grand National for 12,500 with 3 miles on it...

WHOA. How long did you have it? I'm assuming you don't still, because anyone with a GNX would not hesitate to state this fact.

My "new" ride, a 2005 V70. It's a base model with 5-speed manual and a ton of options. So far, I'm really happy with it.

No, the base model has no turbo. I don't miss it though, the non turbo with the 5-speed is plenty quick for me.
