Hi everyone,
Thanks for having me! I just bought my first car - a 2005 Vibe AWD I bought it off a relative, my great uncle, who had always taken care of it, treated it well and didn't drive it much either (only 111,664 km when I picked it up last week!). Got a fair price, as well - $4500 CAD! I've always pushed off buying a car (I'm 33), because I didn't want the money pit, and I've been a student for so long, so I just relied on public transit or my feet. But now I'm commuting to work, and a car will truly help.
So far, I'm loving it! Not just having a vehicle, but THIS vehicle. It's quite sizable for a hatchback, more spacious than I'd realized at first. It's got good solid handling, is tight around corners, and it just feels comfortable and responsive. Reading a bit on here, it seems like I've just purchased a pretty reliable car, so I'm looking forward to this experience!
