FS: 03 Vibe - for parts or repair, Houston, TX

Post by Bookworm »

I hit the point on my 03 where I didn't want to pay the repair shop to fix my front end, and frankly, I don't really have reliable time to sit down and do it myself (even though I -do- have the tools).

Rather than sell it to a "will give money for junk" hauler, I'd much rather it went to someone who would either repair it for a first car for someone, or strip it for usable parts and _then_ junk it.

Here are the basic details.
2003 Pontiac Vibe
Automatic windows/door locks
296,900 miles.
body in good shape - one dent repaired in left rear quarter panel by back window. Window not compromised, panel only primed.
All doors and windows are fully functional.
Wheels are in good shape, but are aftermarket aluminum rims, requiring hub shims.
Catalytic converter was replaced with high end unit 3 years ago, also oxygen sensors.
Car still runs with caveats: Tie rods, control arms, and two broken motor mounts. Still was getting 27 MPG with regular daily driving.
valve cover gasket is leaking.
Will be removing roof rails and console storage cover - they'll fit my "new" 2007 Pontiac Vibe.

Would like $500, OBO.

(I'll try to get up a set of decent pictures tomorrow, if the sun comes out. Base colour is silver)

Lindale Park - opposite of 45 from the Heights. Car is still driveable. It's just that the front end makes you really nervous.

I did get some photos, I haven't uploaded from my phone yet.

Here are three photos. In the broadside photo, you can see the repaired/primed section.
