I am in the market for a new car and am looking seriously at some pontiac vibes (07-09) with low mileage. I am not car savvy (don’t fix my own cars and no little about car repair) and am wondering if it will be hard to get my pontiac fixed in the future due to the fact that pontiac no longer exists. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

No problem at all. Just take your Vibe to a Toyota dealership.

Steve is correct your Vibe came from a Toyota factory. As a Toyota it is known as a “Matrix”.
