Re: Think the vibe has an issue (Vibration)

I have to doubt that you already need to change your air filter, but it really couldnt hurt. Mine is still in GOOD shape after over 40K miles, so I'm sure yours will be clean after just 4000 miles.

Re: Just Curious. (jake75)

jake75As a reply to your message, and no I dont feel scolded....My car was 16.800 to start, when you figure the added FEES for a loan payment and TAX and such, I was up to about 20,200 for the loan. I'm in a long term loan (72 Months at 4.95% APR), so I pay just around 320 per month, after 11 months...
