Some people here have Vibes in the 400,000+ range... and a few in the 200,000+ range too

Welcome! I was very happy myself when i found out about the timing chain. As a new do it myselfer, I have found that this site has many posts about the little things one might not think about as far as maintenance, AND how to do most of it, which have helped these cars go the extra 200k. Good luck with your new investment, I am anxious to see pics!
