Re: what did you pay for your vibe?

in December 2009, I bought a 2009 Vibe 2.4 w/ 5sp auto (wanted a stick, but sobeit), A/C, a rack (it was there) but I insisted on them throwing in a luggage cover (to feel like I got something ;) )
It had 142 miles on it.
Listed at 21550 w/ tax/delievery, paid $15100. Not terrible

how would one remove...

If I leave my Vibe parked on the street, my town requires a town parking sticker (I actually paid more to garage park it to avoid putting the stupid sticker on). However, if I do put it on, has anyone ever found something to remove the sticker and glue?Any guidance would be helpful.

the fact that someone smashed off my mirror and knocked in the front fender in a lot, that they didn't leave a note, or that they took the mirror as well? My poor Vibe! Does anyone know how much a mirror replacement would cost - going through the insurance is just not worth it.
