Hmmm, might be a candidate for an abs system transfer to a base non-abe vibe? Or any of the other goodies into other Vibes..

That doesn't look like light damage to me. Both ends destroyed. Plus, I agree with you Salsa, it looks like the frame is messed up. Poor Vibe.

I know why the seller is claiming the damage is "light". Because he (or she) is an idiot.Quote »When I start this vehicle up, when the dash lights up with its futuristic styling, I would swear I was in the space shuttle if I didnt know any different.Wow, what an idiot.

That Matrix does show one thing, how the design and materials of vehicles are now able to keep the passenger cage intact in a major collision. Makes me feel safer.

LIGHT damage? What is heavy damage then? LOLLooks to me like the frame is bent...I don't think it's the angle of the picture.

Would probably cost more in replacement parts to fix just go buy a new one. The car can be straightened very easily and for not much money but the body parts will kill you. I would bet 10,000 just in parts, never mind prep, paint, installation.
