It's been quite a Journey

Post by Dairgo »

As of about an hour ago, I am no longer the owner of a 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT.

The saga of the transmission brought to light my languish on making car decisions.

I took a look this afternoon again for the car I've been searching for (4 months now), and found one at a decent price/mileage.
I took a test drive and then did the dirty deed. The used car dealership made me a fair offer ($3700 for an '09 Vibe with 149k on it).

I am now the proud owner of a 2014 Honda Accord EX-L v6 (black with 43k miles).

She was a great car, my little scarlet, and I will never forget her.

I will try to stick around, maybe even try to sneak into the Vibe meet, but we'll see :P

And offer any advice I can on my little projects I did to my vibe should anyone come seeking answers.

Congratulations on the new ride. Should be much more confortable cruising on the freeway.

Congrats on the new ride. Sad to see you get rid of the Vibe though. Hope you stick around. We'll accept you just as we've accepted A Psycho Martyr with his Sonic!

Had to run back to the stealership this past weekend, I left my I-pass tollway fob in it. A quick look at the pictures told me they didn't do much to clean it as it was still there on the windshield.

Also...They must be crazy....

I bought it 3 years ago with 80k miles, for $11k.
I traded it in with 149k miles for $3.7k.
They are trying to sell it at $8k.
