New guy here! I was going to join awhile back as this forum was very influential of my decision to buy a Vibe.I just traded in my 2003 Chevy S-10 for a 2008 Vibe. Had about 60,000 miles and had two owners from the looks of it. Seems it started it's travel as a fleet vehicle (which explains it's mileage), then was sold to a small family who treated it well and moved here from Ohio.However, she runs nice and smooth and with the Toyota engine the extra miles don't concern me much, plus I opted for 3 year extended warranty which included 6 years of free oil changes.I have attached a picture..Her name is Eruka.

Re: Greetings! (w00tastic)
Welcome I didn't think two tones were available at the end of the first gen run! Not many 2008's out there as it was a short production run while making way for the second gen 2009 Vibes in April of 2008. Nice color. You won't regret this smart purchase. Again .............. Welcome

Re: Greetings! (tpollauf)
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome...tpollauf: I was unaware of the short production and I admit I was a little nervous at first with the two tone as it threw out a few customization ideas that I had (black alloys wouldn't look so good haha).However, I do intend to find some sorta alloy wheel that will fit the nature of the car, and I have already installed a new stereo and bluetooth system. I test drove an 09 and i'm not 100% sure I would have had such an easy time getting to the wiring harness and such with the that model haha.Anyway, I love this car and plan to keep it as long as I can.

Steelies to the rescue.

Quote, originally posted by ligion »You can always paint your gray cladding black, like i did to mine =DI'll be honest...I didn't even know you could paint cladding. I mean I guess you paint just about anything, but I have never seen anyone with painted cladding. It's an interesting thought..Quote, originally posted by jkm311 »Welcome, and I disagree! Black alloys might look pretty nice against the dark gray cladding and that nice paint color. I would just stay away from ones with a blood red line on the lip. Clash!Well I am thinking maybe a gunmetal type color may look good, but then again I have a relative in the salvage business so i'm looking for standard vibe alloys to get me by until I make the big leap. I just can't stand plastic hubcaps haha.
