we met on a fake address. a nice place upscale. she never lived there ,we met. she and her boyfriend who portrayed to be a retire state trooper came at me so humble and looked legit. the dash lights work but not my odometer. idk if is cover with some kind of film or theres a fuse for that. i pay 2750 for that car thats in decent shape but she lied about not only the millage but the awd and said it was a 1 owner when there were actually 3. is been 2 weeks now and mechanically is good. the battery light shows a little bit at dark but not during the day (idk why) but theres no problems with the car besides the dome and the odometer. the radio dosent show the display either but works. i found the actual owners and they told me that the car has been reliable for the 9 years they had it and always had its rutine maintnance. the dealer did a 50 point inspection and everything looked good. plus i had it inspected legally too. it has new tires and the factory alloys 16s. it has the AWD emblem on the trunk but its a fake. im glad that the car is mechanically sound but i got raped. this car i would of payed maybee like 1900 but she got me for 2750. i know they are basically toyota built and powered by timing chain so im hoping that at least i get reliability on this. any info on this cars will help. plus NO is not my first car ive been thru aloooot of cars i was just decieved by their looks and act. BUT it is my first ever toyota. first VIBE..tpollauf wrote:Welcome to GenVibe. From an optimistic standpoint, you only got "shorted" a bit .... not scammed! As others mentioned we need more info to really determine if you got scammed. Price? $3000 for this said Vibe would have been a good deal but we don't know what you paid. Photos for us to comment on: rear diff, it it's there. Interior. Moon & tunes package? Overall condition of the car? We'll help you get this Vibe in it's best shape so you can begin driving it with confidence. Oh, the biggest missing piece of info ... LOCATION
l know but it bother me that they lied to get more money out of me. I know I could of bough it for way less, but is my winter car since I cant drive my Camaro during winter, but I just wanted the awd but I have new tires on it and in todays storm did pretty decent. ill keep it now since I put over 100 miles in less then a week and it runs very good,,,, now I want to make it look nice with some wheels on summer and ill like to paint the cladding....Misanthrope wrote:The price you paid isn't horrible actually. Since it appears to be mechanically sound, don't sweat it. After reading the reviews on vibes, I'm convinced that theses cars are little gems. Kind of like VW beetles, or old 80's Corollas. Proper maintenance and you'll get much useage.
Hey, I actually let passion get me and paid a bit too much for my 09 GT, but realize it was my fault so.....
However, vibes are great little cars and I think we'll both be fine. Good luck with it.
I think you will get over this disappointment. My base Vibe tracks and steers fantastic with winter tires. I found my set used during the summer in 2014. So I am not at all surprised your new all seasons (I assume) work "pretty decent".but I just wanted the awd but I have new tires on it and in todays storm did pretty decent
