Re: 98se5speed's 03 Vibe - 1ZZ engine pull/rebuild thread (98se5speed)

Saw this in Chicago Craigslist ... 2004 Vibe totaled but parts for sale, 94K miles. It appears the front end is intact, so possibly the engine could be examined and run before purchase?

From a business standpoint, raise prices 60%, and lose 40% of your customers, and still make near the same money as before. And with less customers, there is less infrastructure to support.You can't really blame Netflix for trying! It's all about performance for the shareholders.
