FS - 2003 pontiac vibe parts/project car

Post by jeremym »

My wife have had an awesome weekend... the TL;DR would be: car broke down on the interstate in western Kansas, 2+ hours away from a wedding we needed to get to. We hang out for an hour+ along-side the road with a 2 year-old and a 6-month-old. Then got towed to next town only to find (after 25 phone calls to towing companies, dealers, car rental companies, etc.) that EVERY SINGLE CAR RENTAL PLACE was closed. Missed the wedding. It was great. :-)

Anyway, we have a 2003 pontiac vibe that has something wrong with the engine. It is most likely a blown gasket. We purchased the vehicle for $5500 in 2010, and are in the market for a new vehicle, so instead of paying the $1000+ to find out why we have no compression, it would be much easier to simply sell the thing as a parts or project car.

Details:
-There are somewhere around 130,000 miles on it.
-Everything, aside from the engine is in working order.
-No chips in windshield, etc.
-The only 'blemishes' include: driver's side-view mirror unit has the glass broken out (though, you can find replacement kits online for $45); the wind-shield-wiper-fluid reservoir is cracked about 30% of the way up, so it only holds about 30% of the fluid; there are no fog lights, though the front-bumper has space for them; and, obviously, the engine might be shot; the driver's side door window/lock panel has a broken piece of plastic, and as such, is sort-of falling into the door.

It is currently in Wakeeney, KS (even longer story... towed it back to wakeeney from hays because we thought they'd be able to look at it immediately when everything in hays was closed).
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email. Feel free to call me at 970.310.5342, though my reception here isn't the greatest, so email might be best.

Thank you for reading this.
Have a great day.
