We will need more information to make an educated guess for your request.
Mileage?
Drivetrain condition?
Body and Interior condition?
New parts due to repairs?
Colors and options?
Pics always help.

I have seen 2004 GTs listed from $1,500 to $6,000 in the last few years.

transmission and throttle body rebuilded 2023
front control arm, sway bar links, motor mounts replaced on 2024
front and back struts , starter, alternator replaced december
valve cover gasket, crankshaft seals, front and back, belt tensioner replaced last month
interior is decent, cold a/c, dash cam on rearview mirror

Hello salamander162,
Your Vibe is spec'ed out with very desireable options.
The wheels, spoilers and the ground effects kit all add good value.
The higher mileage and leaking sunroof detract quite a bit from the value.
I was somewhat interested in it myself, so I read thru your old posts.
Did you get the subframe to body bolt issue corrected, or is it still loose?
Looks like the front bumper cover is a different color.
Was there a front end collision with the car?
From what I see and without knowing the answers to my questions,
I will amend my sale price estimate to be $2,500-$4,500, probably more on the low side of that range.
Hopefully other members will speak up with their input.

the subframe was fixed last month, saw several mechanics and only two of them give me a good solution, and the one that fix it was a very smart guy
the front cover is the same color, prolly need to wash it, as i noted before i got it with both bumper cover cracked, i do not know if it was for a crash, no problem with alligment, i also replace both tie rod ends, inners and outers
i love this little car, but i have no choice, bad knees :evil:

anyways thanks for the input
