Time to say goodbye I'm afraid....

Post by sat73 »

After a very brief stay here, it looks like a goodbye is coming, our Vibe needs a new home.

I honestly need a truck, the Wife has her new Kia, we just don't have the space or money to keep three vehicles.

Right now it looks like its going to one of my Wife's cousins in Florida, but, not sure yet.

Its hard to let go, there is a LOT of sentimental value in it for both the Wife and I.

But, at the same time, I'd hate to see it sit and just rot.

If the cousin falls thru, I'll probably post it here for sale.

Thanks for making me feel welcomed.
John

Don't see many Fusion Vibes anymore. That car with a set of nice rims would really make it look great. Hope your wife's sister gets the car. At least you'll still have it in the family.

I know how it is. I'm coming up on decision time, of sorts, too. My wife's retiring this Spring and we're probably going to pare down the vehicular herd a bit. Have been delaying it as long as I can. We do tend to get attached to these cars. Sure do like the Vibe. Hard to come by a car that is so reliable, durable and roomy while still being about as easy on gas as most of the newer cars out there.
