I found this forum because my Vibe got crunched in the front. It was totalled with $3426 turn in or $2679 to keep. The bumper, both quarter panels, grill and hood are all damaged. No air bag went off.
Just wondered if many people try to bring these back. It has 169,000 miles. The worst part is the support for passenger side panel and radiator is bent and would have to be cut and welded back to replace. I can not do this quickly enough to justify trying and a local body shop told me it wasn't worth fixing. It was a great car and never had any trouble with it. It had developed a whine when decelerating from highway drive down to 45 mph. Likely a bearing.
I will hate to surrender and have started looking for another one. It was a 5 speed and I liked that for mountain driving.
