Then yesterday I get this thing in the mail from GM "your warranty is about to expire...sign up now for GMPP".Nah. my 04 has 33k on it.whats funny about mine is i was told i have 1 year left on the original warranty when i got it about 2 years ago. i will still get a letter now and again about "its about to expire! extend your warranty" and that crap. i just shred it and then toss it out.
None. Vibe is gone.

I have a whole 28,500 on mine so I average less thank 1k a month but I drive it every day. Now my old old truck(1985 Nissan Kingcab)had 210k on it before I traded it in. Stupid thing wouldn't die on me so I finally broke down and got a new truck

I've had my Vibe for 1 yr 2 mo, and have driven it 19,856 miles. But, there are a couple of unexpected long trips included. Normally, it wouldn't be that much in a year. Bought it used, the car has a total of 56,302.Your poll doesn't specify if you mean total miles since purchased, or average annual miles driven.

I only have 50,000.Technically, you should look up on one of the threads around here how we know that the limit is 299,999. Two people have confirmed it. I think Joatmon was swapping out gauge clusters and tried to "rollover" his old one. It didn't roll over - only stopped at 299,999.Additionally, a few days after that thread was made, another person logged on. He owned a Vibe that he used as a cab and hit the 299,999 mark a while back and had been using just the trip meter.Now I will admit, he may have been in Canada and thus 299,999 km < 299,999 miles.

olympic, in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=23466 Hit ~299,999 kms in an 03 he uses as a taxi 20 months ago, then the odometer stopped counting, and he hasn't posted since then, so no way to know what he's got the thing up to now. my run up to 299,999 was with the cluster removed from the car, so that doesn't count (and neither does that cluster anymore ) My Vibe is at about 165K milesQuote, originally posted by joejoev »2004 Abyss Base Model w/ M&T bought new Sept. 9, 2004 just rolled 275,000 miles on Feb. 29, 2008!!!That's an average of 9 miles per hour for the last three and half years. I'm only averaging about 4.5 mph

I answered this wrong....I thought the question was how many Kms you put on in a year. OOPs I am at 105,000KMS and its a 2003. I hope the engine can take the Turbo.

I really havnt gone anywhere in it. To my physical therapy mostly thats like 25 miles one way twice a week.

Yeah, I already knew I wouldn't be the first here to hit that magic 299,999, but I am getting excited about it. Will have to switch over to using the tripometer to track my miles for work. I suppose another option would be an odometer recalibration and validation certificate.Quote, originally posted by joatmon »That's an average of 9 miles per hour for the last three and half years.

My Pioneer Sirius satellite HU is my best friend. I'm sure glad that I like my Vibe. We spend at least two hours a day together. BTW, I have not had one single problem with it (knock on wood). Not even a burned out light bulb.

Not a problem yet, also knock on wood.Just the dash rattle drives me nuts, but that'll be fixed the next time we have sunny weather on a weekend.

I bought my Vibe last September with 33K on it and it's up to 45K 6 months later - 90 mile round trip commute + 1 trip to Va Beach over Thanksgiving will do that. Getting in the 26-28 mpg range but got over 30 on the long trip.By the way, I'm in Europe this week on business and I've seen a Toyota called the "Corolla Verso" that looks a lot like the '09 Matrix. Anyone know anything about this?

I have had my 2004 Vibe "SS" for a little over a year. It had 43,000 on it when I bought it. Now it has 54,000. I will be attending the police academy starting in April and calculated the seven month mileage at 6800 miles for school. That isn't counting my usuall driving to and from work and such.
