Picked up this clean ride today...

230000 miles Saturn Red Line $750 actually runs pretty damn good for the miles. No grinds or weird noises, undercarriage looks spotless but interior and exterior look ridiculous. Rims and tires look almost brand new.

After cleaning the throttle body, MAF sensor, and all the connectors for the ECM I am CEL free. Also replaced the rotors and brake pads and I'm squeak free as well. Car runs like a champ thinking about track day soon lol.
