New Vibe owner

Post by stevesfsd »

so i finally joined! Been checking this forum out since i purchased my 2004 Vibe in December. I needed a second car since i travel to South Dakota a lot for work and needed a car while i wad there. I always liked them and figured it would be a trouble free small utility vehicle. Its a 2004 base auto with pw/pl/upgraded sterreo and sunroof. Wish it was AWD and had abs, but i was in a rush to get a car. It had 126,000 miles, clean car fax, no accidents ever amd no rust. Bought it from a local Honda dealer for $6,000 ( used cars in Sioux Falls seem to sell for a premium) they installed new tires, brakes, windshield, and fixed an inop exterior door handle. Unfortunately a few oil leaks developed after which i had fixed. (Tensioner seal, oil pressure switch, and oil pan) its bone dry now. Anyway, glad to be a part of this forum.

Welcome to GenVibe!
Do you have "Moon and Tune"? (Yes, if you have a built in sub in the trunk area). This is not bad at all for a "car on the side".

Why's the right rear corner lifted up in that picture?
