I'm now a Vibe owner

Hello all,I'm the new owner of an Ultra White 2009 Vibe. It's my first Vibe, but I've been highly impressed with Vibes since driving a black 09 as a rental car about three years ago. Recently I've been looking for another vehicle, and I finally found a Vibe that had everything I'm looking for: AWD, sun & sound package, preferred equipment package, fog lights, 17" chrome wheels, just about every option available - even the little mud flaps. AWD was important because the roads are snow-covered where I live from December through March. Finding an AWD Vibe for sale in the mountain west is rare, and unheard of with miles this low. After browsing autotrader.com for the past few weeks, I came across one with just over 12k miles - almost unused! When the seller dropped the price another $1000 I bit, took a 1-way flight to pick it up, and drove it over 1300 miles back home to Idaho. I got a good value. The previous owner babied the car and it is absolutely spotless! Has anyone else made such a long trip to purchase their Vibe?

I've placed an order for winter wheels and tires, so the Vibe will be all set very soon!

$12999 - It was actually a small dealer selling it on behalf of a family friend, kind of a consignment deal. So there were no dealer fees or anything else above the final price, except my local sales tax of course.

If you're Catholic you will now have to go to confession over that steal!

Last year I drove 600 plus miles (There & Back) from Westland MI. down to Dry Ridge Ky. so I could purchase my 08 Base with 55,000 miles on the clock. It was a good deal too $7,500.00 with power windows /locks and most important a 5 spd.
