Project Vibe for sale

I have never had a car that has been as reliable and wonderful as my 2005 Pontiac vibe. It was significantly unfortunate when I was rear ended the other day and unfortunately they totaled the car. The biggest bummer is that the engine is perfect, I just replaced the fuel pressure regulator and the front rotors. I also kept up on the oil changes. There are about 110xxx miles on the car and it still runs perfectly. The only issue is the damage to the back end. Being a hatchback it is a bit more to fix. If someone is willing to take on this project they will not be disappointed in the end result. This car was loaded with:
CD player
Leather seats
Sunroof
ABS brakes
FWD
On Star capable
Alloy Wheels
Salsa red exterior
Black interior
This car looked brand new. There was no rust and no other scratches or dings. The pictures I have are too big to attach. I can send them via email upon request.

Hopefully pics will be up soon. As for location, the Vibe is at an auto body shop in Minnesota north of the cities. I'm still waiting to hear back from the insurance company on how much I can buy it back for.

Looks like what could have happened to my Vibe before my ownership, but on the opposite side. If this would have happened in a few years, when I had cash, I totally would have picked this up - I live just south of the Cities - but alas, I am an 18-year-old with a Vibe to pay off. Looks simple enough, just need a donor rear. Could get that at a discount too, since a friend works for AAA Auto Salvage. Even your plastic bumper could be reused by the looks of it.

If a Genviber doesn't buy it, someone will. There's plenty of shops out there that could see this as easy money.

In the meantime, I window-shop Vibes all the time. I could help you find another!

The Vibe is located in St. Michael, MN. It's only about a half an hour north of the cities. I have not yet heard from the insurance company, but I will post on here as soon as I know. The front end is in perfect condition and there is absolutely no rust. I'm going to be sad to see it go, but I do not have the resources to fix it myself. Please let me know if anyone is really interested.

The car will sell for $4000 cash. The auto shop is going to start charging me for storage tomorrow so this is the chance. I'm putting 12 hours on the car up for sale and then she goes with the insurance company. It's been a long process and I'm just ready to be done with it.
