Congrats! I've got an 08 which has served us well thus far.Auto Trans oil. They say 100,000 mile change but do it at 50 or 60. Tends to dirty up fast and smell foul before it's time. Use only Toyota T-IV, not the generic one mix fits all type.Serpentine belt,Air filter' Cabin filterkeep the oil changed regularly, be it synthetic or Dino, just change it.Stay away from Fram oil filters.

welcome to the world of Toyota. You had better like it..........you'll be owning it for a very long time since it won't be breaking down. The lava red is wonderful. That's a good choice. I own two, and probably will buy a third once my 2003 dives over a cliff. Best wishes.

Well the Canadian $ is doing ok now and if you buy much milk or cheese a trip to the US would save you some money. I don't know how much you are allowed to bring back. I remember years ago we could take 1 case of beer into Canada for personal use. I suspect it is less for just a day trip.Many years ago coming back from Canada US Customs asked if I had anything to declare. I told him just a bottle of cyclamate artificial sweetener that is banned by the FDA. He just looked at me kind of funny.Our passports expired and hate to spend $100 each for new ones so we are prisoners in our own country for the time being.

I see your pretty Lava Vibe in your attachment pic! So happy for you on behalf of another Lava Vibe owner! You are going to your Vibe! I have a 2004 with 80k and no problems with it whatsoever. I still get so many people commenting on it when I am at the gas station especially, surrounded by SUVs and pickup trucks! My Lava Vibe fills up so much quicker! Everyone wants to know the MPG and how I like it, and I gush with Vibe !!!!!!!!!!!!You sure have a handsome looking Vibe and you are going to have so much fun! ENJOY!
