Just a quick note to thank everyone here for all the help over the last 4 or 5 years. I've loved my vibe and it has been one of the most trouble free cars I have ever owned. The hard truth is that with 245,000 miles on her and most weeks finding me 400 or 500 miles from home I wanted something with fewer miles and less likely hood of breaking down at an inopportune time. Don't worry, I'll be selling it to someone for them to begin their "vibe journey of Love". It ought to make a perfect car for a new driver.
I would have liked to replace it with another vibe but they are getting hard to find with under 100,000 miles on them and I don't like how the 2nd generation looks. Add that to my fondness for leather seats and it was an almost impossible search.
I actually went with a Honda Crosstour; I know a unique looking car that many people find ugly but I like how it looks, it is a great interstate cruiser (incredible ride and nice power), and I'm getting 30mpg on the interstate with a v6.
Thanks again of the help and enjoy those special little cars.
Mike
