where to buy parts ==--

[jamesmetairie]

I,m trying to get OEM Toyota parts for the Vibe. Every Toyota dealer I call will not give me part info without a part number. any one know of a dealer that will help?

These cars would be much more difficult to maintain without the Toyota parts availability.
The Toyota parts guys here know a Vibe is the same as a Matrix, but I always have to give them Toyota part numbers, or have them look up the Toyota part number by description.
One way around that is to tell them you have a Matrix that matches the Pontiac model type you have, and give them a Matrix VIN number.
You can get a VIN number from most any for sale ad.
Matrix has STD, XR and XRS model types.
Vibe has Base and GT.
Matrix STD and XR are both 1ZZ drivetrain, just different trim levels, and corrosponds with Vibe Base. AWD is available one either STD or XR.
XRS is the 2ZZ drivetrain, and corrosponds with the Vibe GT.
Hopefully that helps you.

I use this site to get the Toyota part no. You have to get familiar with the Matrix frame codes.
