Re: Brief engine " rattle " at cold start-up , (Esteban)

So a GM dealer honored this with out a problem? Isn't the GM warranty 5 years/100K on this 2010 vehicle? If so are Toyota TSB's covered under GM's 5/100K warranty?Thanks, Motoretro

Re: (tpollauf)

Well after 8 weeks of looking I believe I've found what I'm looking for. A 2010 Base 2.4, no roof rack or Sunroof . One elderly owner, has 30K and clean record. Has new tires and is very clean. It's red which is OK although I'd rather have white. Has the 16" factory steels w/ Hubbys. I test dro...

Re: (J_TO_ENVY)

I was aware of the IRS on the GT and AWD models which I actually wanted although had planed on putting 205/60/16 tires w/ steel rims or something aftermarket in a light wheel. These tires will put me within .1" of the tires in diameter which come on the GT's. Unfortunately this vehicle had like...

Re: (J_TO_ENVY)

Relented and test drove a 09 AWD 50K Vibe yesterday, Had the 17" alloys on it and the ride wasn't a lot of fun on bumpy roads. Nothing I could put my thumb on although I felt the vehicle had been rode hard and put away wet, I'll keep looking...... MotoretroQuote, originally posted by J_TO_ENVY ...

Re: (J_TO_ENVY)

I'm not too particular about colors as I'm hoping to land a 2010 and with the low numbers on the market, I don't think I can be too choosy.

Re: (J_TO_ENVY)

Yeah, the guy or gal must like Silver. I've never seen this Vibe dirty and this is the middle of Winter in Michigan. I pulled into last space, closest to entrance so he/she parks way out so they don't get any parking lot rash.Not sure of any other modifications. I might try the silver wheel mod depe...

Re: (J_TO_ENVY)

Here's a picture of the VIBE w/ AWD and painted silver wheels to match hubcaps I mentioned, I feel it looks pretty decent for a cheap modification and really makes the vent holes in wheels jump out at you.Motoretro

Re: (J_TO_ENVY)

Your Moms GT look great, So it's a big difference in ride between the 16's and 18's? Would a 205/60/16 put you at same height as the factory GT tires? There's a guy who works at nearby HD who painted his rims silver and runs the AWD hubcaps and it looks great. Very clean look.MotoretroQuote, origina...

Thanks for the confirmation, I was not sure if the GT had anything different on it like larger brakes, calipers, etc. Motoretro

Re: New and looking (jake75)

Jake, Thanks for the info. I know what you mean about used car prices. Some of the prices I've seen on 2010 Vibes are I believe actually higher than the close-out pricing GM did at the time. Plus buying used is like walking through a mine field. If your persistent enough though you can learn the ins...

2009 Vibe GT w/ 16" wheels?!

Pulled into my local welding shop a week ago and could not help but notice a very clean White GT parked in front. Something appeared different although I had business inside so went in and took care of things. When I left to leave, I focused on the GT a bit more and noticed 1st the aftermarket wheel...

New and looking

New to the Forum and am currently looking for a 09 or 10 Vibe or perhaps a Matrix although the Matrix's are pretty scarce in my part of the country. Have a couple questions although I'll try and post these in the appropriate sections.Motoretro
