WTB factory CD stereo

Just got a 2008 Vibe for my son for school. The LED display in the stereo is dead.

Anyone have a stock stereo laying around they would ship to 68164 for cheap?

Re: Looking to go with slightly wider tires

Well, results are mixed with the larger tires. The ride is better, the difference is not huge, but is worth it to me. The speedo now reads about 58.5 mph when I am going 60 mph, according to my GPS. I don't feel much difference in cornering, but I'm not what one would consider a "sporty" d...

Re: Kumho tires?

Another vote for Hankook 727's here. I've had 3 sets on 2 different vehicles and have been very pleased with the wear, handling, and value for the $$ of the tires.

Re: Stealth 2006 Vibe for Sale in MA!

Just for reference, I paid $10k to a Toyota dealer for my 2008 base Vibe with 48,000 miles about a year ago, which was about $2k under NADA book price.

Re: 1st Gen Vibe Prices

Bought my 2008 Vibe standard(5 speed, 1.8L) with 48,000 miles on it about 2 months ago. Dealer wanted $10,000 for it, traded in my 2002 Camry with 152,000 miles and a suspect transmission and $5300 for the Vibe. I've been averaging about 31 mpg in mixed commuting... couldn't be much happier unless t...

Unsure what it's actually called, but does it have the extra center console spacer thing that makes the armrest higher?

Re: android ebay Chinese 2DIN GPS reviews?

Well, it's not a dedicated GPS unit, but I just installed a Pyle PLDNV78I in my new-to-me 2008 Vibe. Will report back after a few weeks of use on how well it works.
