Hey all! I've owned my Vibe for a couple years now. I'm a Toyota guy, so here I am haha! My dad's a technician and a customer brought this gem into their shop and he offered to buy it for $800 and they took it. Ha! All it needed was a new windshield, tires, and new wiper blades. The previous owner took really good care of it (mechanically), but failed to keep the interior clean.
I stripped all the interior out and started from the bottom. Even the headliner was gross...
It has almost 160K miles on it and I plan on driving it till the wheels fall off (looking to hit at least 300K miles). My wife and I own this and an ES330 and have no car payment, so THAT'S nice... So far, I haven't had any issues at all (I mean, it's a Toyota, right).
Keeping up with maintenance and changing the oil with Pennzoil Platinum every 5K miles will keep this 1ZZ running forever. Enjoy the photos! There's a bonus photo of my old Celica on the bottom, showing what kind of Toyota's I've owned in the past.
