Well, not quite. I did get one pretty cheap at a local auction though.
I recently acquired a 2006 Vibe, Base model (5-speed). 150k miles, super clean (for what it is), only thing wrong was with the clutch.
I was unable to test drive before auction day, but I could start it up and "drive forward and backward an inch" (so generous of them.) Difficult to engage 1st, grinding when trying to engage Reverse.
After the auction, I had it towed to my mechanic and he found that the clutch disc was fried. And a bearing... (can't remember what it's called.)
He replaced those overnight, and voila! Good as new. He looked it over and said he couldn't find anything else wrong with it.
Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself/my car (haven't figured out how to post pics yet.) Maybe this will be helpful to others. I plan on visiting here frequently as I get to know my car better, and if/when it becomes symptomatic in the future.
