Got a lead on a 2006 GT with only a little over 50K that's really close to me. I made an offer but the seller is still holding out for a higher one. We'll see how it goes!

Yeah, me too!

Nope. My first one is the wrecked one pictured above...

looks like a good deal as long as it was well taken care of ! good luck ! It's advertised as a one owner car and the pics look good. I'm not going to even look at it unless he is willing to accept my offer because that's already more than I wanted to spend. It may be a shot in the dark. The seller ...

OK, I just located an 06GT with only 54K on it right here in town. It's an individual seller and he's asking $11,000. I sent him a message offering him $9000 pending inspection. Sound reasonable?

Dang! I just located a really nice 03GT with only 62K on it not too far from me. The price isn't too bad either. I just can't make myself buy one without the sunroof though.

Well the only update that I have at this point is that it appears my insurance company is being relatively generous in the settlement. So I might be able to move up quite a bit. Hopefully I can get into a newer model with lower miles. I do have a question though. What's the consensus about the 5 spe...

I know what you're feeling. I also know what you mean about how safe the car is. I totaled mine too less than a week ago. Ended up with a light pole buried in the middle of the engine compartment. I too walked away without a scratch. Glad to hear you did too. The big bummer about mine is that I only...

Good to know! Thanks!

Thanks for the good thoughts and advice everyone. If the car gets totaled, it will be owned by the insurance company so getting parts from it won't be an option. They might be willing to let me keep it, but that would reduce the amount of my settlement and make it much more difficult to buy another ...

Here's a pic that my son took when he and his mom came to pick me up.

Welcome to GenVibe!!! Start your search at '05 and newer for stickshift base models. The '03 and '04' 5 speed manual transmissions have known bearing issues. Great info! I appreciate it. That's too bad though because although I think all vibes are great looking cars, the '03, '04 models are my favo...

First of let me say, paragraphs. Secondly, even the base model is a fun car with even simple upgrades, and still gets a great gas mileage. If it's the 6 speed that is keeping you from the base, you can buy a 6 speed for the base and still get good gas mileage (Japanese 6 speed has the same FDR as t...

For 10 years I drove a Dodge Dakota Quad Cab with the 4.7 and all the trimmings. I liked the truck a lot. However, the kids grew up and rarely went anywhere with me anymore. Gas prices were killing me and the truck was getting tired. So I started doing some research on what cars in my price range wo...
