Did I catch the last dodo?

Post by Biggles »

Hi all,

Extremely new convert here. Just traded a pfft 2017 Subaru Impreza for a 2010 Vibe GT in Ignition Orange. Super condition. Then I got curious and started research. Found this forum, which led me to a database etc... which said there were 702 of this make and model built, and of those, 1.4% were orange... so there were 10 of them? Does anyone else have one? Did I accidentally buy the last dodo? :D

I love it, it’s so snazzy.

Good find! Yes, it sounds like you did. How many miles are on it?

Welcome to GenVibe Biggles :D Yes you have a very rare Vibe indeed. Even rarer if it is a 5-speed manual tranny! Almost bought one down in Asheville NC but would have lost $$$ refunds which were only available on 2009 models, so I stuck with the next best color SRM (sport red metallic). There is one in the Toledo area but not sure on the tranny. I see it about once ever other year. Post pics when you get a chance.

114k miles, one tiny scratch in the front fender and the interior looks original and clean. Garage kept.
