Sold! And so I must say farewell to my beloved Pontiac and to this distinguished group. I really feel that the Vibe was an unheralded diamond in the rough. I bought her new in 2009 for $15k. She was not a looker, but offered so much. She had a tiny 1.8L engine, and yet from 0-30mph she was surprisingly quick - quicker than some 6 cylinder vehicles I have driven. I think that the reason for this is that they kept the weight down. I think that she weighed in around 2,800 pounds. A base 2026 RAV4 weighs almost 1,000 pounds more. The bullet proof Toyota engine in the Vibe was a real plus. Seating for 5, and loads of storage with the seats down. With snow tires, I had no trouble at all in Chicago winters, even on tiny 16" wheels. Great gas mileage. I never got stranded, and never had to pour a ton of money into repairs. She will be missed! Cheers. :)
