I give you Bessie. It was my Grandpa's replacement for his old Merc. Land Yacht back in '06. Bought it off lease and I don't think he put more than 5K miles on it. Unfortunately after his vision took a turn for the very worse (he's almost blind now) and coupled with his current condition it was decided (him included) to just pass it to one of his grandkids who could put it to better use. My brother was tapped since his car (soon to be my beater/zany project II) aka my first car is about to give up the ghost.
It's not much. Base trim, but dayum is it a cruiser. All it's missing is a Northstar V8 or a SC Series III 3800.
60/40 power split bench, column shifter.. just needs a bit of cleaning and 'old driver' body work to look like it just rolled off the lot back in '04.
I can safely say that if I ever found a clean one myself, I'd pick it up in a heartbeat. Some may have hated GM during the '00s but this car is just one of those vehicles that say.. "ya know.. it's got it's own charm for a domestic blah-mobile".
