Re: Looking at a couple used Vibes - Price too good?

I can attest to there being very few "bad" Vibes out there. *After* buying my Vibe I discovered that it started life as a rental car and had three owners since (I'm number 4). In spite of that, the car is solid and reliable. I do have issues with shoddy bodywork that was done on it, but I ...

Re: The CompNine VIN Decoder is back!

Huh. My Vibe was an Enterprise Rent-a-car :(

221 other Vibes like it. At least I was able to confirm that I should have keyless entry. Just need to find some transmitters now...

Doh! True, with a hatchback there is no trunk to secure. Does the glovebox lock? Bedlam - yes, the key does look fairly smooth and is easy to insert in the door and ignition.What's the going rate to have a GM dealer cut a key from the VIN?

Valet key?

I only received one key with my 2003 Vibe (base). *After* I brought the car home I discovered that the key only opened the driver's door and worked in the ignition. I initially thought "oh shoot, I only have a valet key". After reading the owner's manual, I'm not to sure - no mention of a ...

Re: New member, new (kostby)

Kirk, we will be heading to Indy the second week of January. I'll be sure to beep as I pass Lebanon. Glad to see they were FINALLY done with the construction in that area the last time I went through there.

Re: New member, new (to me) Vibe (klindstedt)

I ended up paying $4800.00 + tax. It has 135,500 miles on the odometer and the Carfax showed a previous accident. I found where the repair was done and I'm sorry to say it was not done as well as I'd like to see it. Nonetheless, other Vibes in my area (Chicago metro area) are running upwards of $600...
