260k on the original clutch, two codes: air pump and low coolant temp.
The old sc2 is used up but still runs and inspected until October. The ac still works. Battery and tires are nearly new, and the suspension is in good shape. I hate to scrap it but I'm not interested in meeting anyone from craigslist.. What should I do here?

I mean LeMons is obvious. Except none of us really have the time/budget to do something like that. It would be fun to see it race though, so maybe some team somewhere might want it for that. For now we could think of fun names for it. I'll start:
- Un Sat Urn
- Saturn V Dud
- Plastic Fantastic
And some inspiration:

In more serious news, could it possibly be a viable car for Jenn?

She has no interest in that (or any Saturn) because it isn't a Japanese car. From the 90's. And a Civic.

You could rent it to me for a low monthly fee so I can get better at driving manual...

Step 1: Install a new clutch.
This car has the original clutch at 260k (as far as anyone knows). Using it in its current state to get more manual transmission experience will likely have a detrimental effect on every other manual transmission you have. Before you think that is ridiculous, check out the Rock Auto selection of clutches and flywheels.
