Re: Considering buying a Vibe

I went to the site and saw that the manual has 168k miles. I have looked at a 2005 with that many miles and have decided against it even though it is 1 owner with unbelievable maintenance records. Just too many miles. The other 2 are automatics and I will not drive an automatic. Thanks, though. Let ...

Re: Considering buying a Vibe

Hey, I'm back. Still haven't found a car. The one I found on cl a month ago was sold. I had called the guy & he told me to call him after noon next day. He never answered & car was removed from cl so I guess he sold it. I drove 2 Saturday & am having a hard time deciding. Both are GTs. 1...

Re: GenVibe's Great Thread of CL Finds

Just came across this while car shopping. Not interested because it is an automatic and "salvage". But mileage and price are low so might be of interest to someone who knows how to fix or looking for parts in Indianapolis area. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/4778856420.html" o...

Re: Considering buying a Vibe

Why a 2008? Is there something specific that changed in the manual transmission model that year? Per KBB, a manual would be about the same amt I got for my totaled RAV if I buy from a private party, but a bit more than I want to pay if bought from a dealer. In any case, I have never seen a 2008 in I...

Re: Anybody else get a check from Toyota?

Reminds me of the class action suit against Ameritech some years ago for overcharging & hiding it from the bills. The award was a $5 card that could be used to make calls from their pay phones!! Pay phones still existed then, but were starting to be hard to find and almost nobody used them. I op...

Re: Considering buying a Vibe

The one on Craigslist is a 2003 GT 6 speed, 144k miles, asking $3990. Was thinking of looking at it until I saw on here that these require premium fuel. I'm looking for economy, so I guess you would have to look carefully at the mpg relative to other cars that do not require premium fuel. My RAV got...

Considering buying a Vibe

My beloved '98 RAV4 was totaled and I haven't found anything comparable after looking a month. I have seen and driven a couple of Vibes, but they were automatics and I will only have a manual transmission. A manual tranny Vibe has just appeared here on craigslist. I have seen something somewhere ind...
