2004 Orange Vibe GT - Gauging Interest

Looking to sell my 2004 Orange Vibe GT. It's my current 2nd daily driver (other car is a 2014 Buick Regal GS) and I simply have too many cars on insurance!

PROS:
- only 125,000 miles, tons of life left in this car
- well maintained, cleans up very nicely
- cold A/C, hot heater
- runs, drive, stops, and handles beautifully
- very nice interior (could use a good scrub down however)
- new struts, front control arm assemblies, Firestone Firehawk tires
- overall good body, orange is till quite nice but...

CONS:
- slight (and typical) oil leak at either the valve cover, the timing belt tensioner, or both, never investigated. The 2ZZ tensioner is a difficult one to fix. I have the new tensioner w/gasket.
- check engine light stays on (does not affect car in any way). Previous owner had CAI on it, I went back to a stock, correct GT airbox. Not sure if I ran the hoses properly, but I think this may be the culprit
- some slight body damage from previous owner: slight RF corner swipe, medium-sized dent at RR corner (both pictured)
- typical dings, scratches, marks, and some weathering of a 13-year-old car

Not a lot of data out there on the 2004's any more, but I think $3500 is on target for this one. Reply here or text me at 813-504-0845. Car is in Tampa. Fly in and drive it home with zero trouble.

Sunroof? How long have you owned it? Where was most of it's life lived? May have a friend interested in it or even myself! If so it would head up north to the Ohio/Michigan border

It's a no-sunroof car (which means no moon & tune package, but the original radio is still in very good shape and plays well). It has been in the Tampa/Clearwater area all of its life, and I rescued it from a small local cheeseball used car lot near my house.

This was back in late March of 2016 and my rescue consisted of 4 new stock struts, 4 new tires, new Moog front lower control arms (bushings were shot and the car was difficult to keep straight), and a strip and re-tint of all windows. Some deep cleaning and waxing brought the orange back to life.

It's a great daily car for the right person. Feel free to ask any questions.
