I talked to the salesman at that dealership a few times about the car. In fact I called there while I was making the deal on the 03, just to see if they would try and snag the deal. Honestly, they know what the car is worth, and they are not in a "rush" to sell it. When we talked last, the...

We bought the trix. Even though its a 2003, its her first really nice car, and seeing the smile on her face when we picked it up made my day. I will be around here and MO looking for maintenance tips and mpg tips. Thanks again, everyone, for all of the help.BTW, for anyone in the Austin area, if you...

Yeah, the 84 is SFA with Aisin hubs, 4.88's, detroit locker rear, true trac up front, Marlin 4.7 low range, 5" lift, 35" tires, Longfields, performance cam, custom exhaust, headers, and some body armor. Its a beast, but I don't play rough with it. I sold it when I lived in Dallas to a coup...

Thanks, man. Yeah, I love the 1st gen 4runners. I will probably being selling the white 89 though. Its a little overkill to have that many cars and not enough driveway!nice Vibe!

Quote, originally posted by ou.grizzly »One thing to remember is the transmission and engine in these vehicles by no means is a 22RE mated with a 5 speed manual. Yeah, the 22re and a 5spd is an all around great setup, but unfortunately none of my Toyotas have it. My 84 4runner has a 22r with a webe...

The search continues. Strangely, the dealer with the 03 GT has not called back after I offered $8900. As if I am so far off of what they would sell it for, they are not even interested in countering.Tonight, we looked at an 03 XRS Matrix with an Automatic. I found the car using the carfax "find...

What's up Austin! We live south, near Ben White and Manchaca.Its good to see some MPG numbers in the 30's for the GT's. Awesome!

Yeah, we haven't even bought the car, and I am already planning on mods. I will post up if we get it.

AKLGT nailed it. We are looking for the 6spd, not an auto. She had no problems driving it, I actually stalled it twice! There are lots of vibes and matrixes for sale, but if you start putting parameters on the search like I have, the list gets smaller and smaller. This particular one always pops up ...

Hello. I just joined in anticipation of my girlfriend getting a vibe soon. Currently, she drives one of my extra trucks, but she wants her own car so a vibe is what she wants. Anyways, I have been looking at the various threads on carrying a bike inside a vibe, and I even did a trial fit of my tri b...

Thanks for the reply. I have been hitting craigslist, cars.com, craigshelper.com, and of course, Autotrader. Its really hard to find a 2003-2006 GT or XRS with a manual and a sunroof.My understanding is that the 03's had slightly more hp because of less emissions equipment, and the GT and XRS models...

Let me say thank you for having this site. I joined up over here and Matrixowners so i could research the two vehicles. I am pretty active on the toyota truck sites, but this is my first car forum.I am helping my girlfriend buy a new/used car and she's decided that the Vibe/Matrix is the way to go. ...
