Had a 2005 that I sold to a son, then a 2009 that I sold to another son. I wish I could buy another NEW one.

So just buy a new-to-you vibe, frank. Nothing wrong with a pre-loved viber.

Welcome to GenVibe Frank! I agree 100% with gtv, there are plenty of great used Vibes out there to be had. Do some research and find yourself one! Post some pictures of the 05 and 09 when you get a chance ;). We love pictures around here!

Welcome to GenVibe!
Indeed, buy a low mileage used one. Nothing at all wrong with that.

I am a new member with an 04 Vibe with 186k on it. Nice ride. Does anyone know about the radio issues on this model. Replaced all 3 bulbs to fix the back light problem, however when I go out in the sun, the display washes out. I do have some partial terminology. I have it all when I am parked in the garage. Also, is there anywhere in the SW I can find some recycled Vibe parts. Just need the armrest hinge on the center console, and the lugnut wrench.

Welcome to GenVibe Frank! So at this point you are "Vibe less" ??? Not to worry. Lots of good used ones out there. You'll find another one and when you do, you MUST let us know here on GenVibe. Let the search begin & good luck!
