Re: 04 & 09 for sale maybe?

Too bad you're not in lower MI or I'd be interested in the '09 GT. They go for more than you would think an 8 year old car would, at least if they do if they're in tip-top condition and have a sunroof. Most sellers don't reveal the oil consumption which kind of irks me as a buyer. I may think differ...

Re: Considering a 2nd Gen Vibe

Thanks, that suggests that if a steering column is good at 60K-100K miles then it may not need repeated replacement. Or it may have been fixed to sell the car, though that's an unlikely measure to sell an 8 year old car.

Considering a 2nd Gen Vibe

Hi, new member here, my 2003 Vibe served me faithfully for over 150K miles but now I'm thinking of upgrading to a 2nd gen Vibe GT. My research has revealed a few problem areas I'm hoping you all can advise me on. 1. 2.4L oil consumption. This was a shock since my 2003 Vibe's engine is bulletproof. G...
