I just bought a 2007 w/ ~41k mi last week. We took the car to a mechanic for an inspection before buying and everything checked out good. The only thing that was reccommended was that we get the brakes adjusted & cleaned. The garage said it was the rear brakes & the parking brake. I made an ...

I test drove a 2007 Vibe w/ 41k mi at the beginning of the week. When we first started driving I noticed a slight smell of rotten egg. The person I was with thought that I was nuts. We are planning on buying the car on Friday after we have it checked by a mechanic. Does that smell mean there is some...

Thanks for the info jake75. I'm thinking that if the car is in as good a condition as it seems that 10K sounds reasonable to me.

I looked at a 2007 with 41K mi this evening. It seemed pretty good to me. Doesn't have a ton of options, but it does have power windows, locks, cruise control and a few others. No ABS. I tried to check it out pretty thoroughly. I noticed a small amt of rust on the bracket that was holding the muffle...

Thanks. I already started looking at more Vibes that seem ok on paper that don't have ABS. It opens up my options a little bit more. I am going to test drive a 2007 tomorrow with 41K mi. It's listed for 10,800. I spoke with the owner and she dropped the price to 10k without any prodding from me. The...

How important are ABS? I haven't been seriously considering Vibes that don't have ABS, but was wondering if I should give myself more options to choose from.

Thanks! We are pretty set on paying <10k and not financing though, so we're only looking at used. I was looking at a 2007 with 41K on it and they were asking $10,800. When I looked at Consumer Reports used car reliability ratings, they were not as good as the 2004-06 and the 2008. Does anyone have a...

Its a 2005 base, automatic, 60k miles. I live in the Seattle area and the KBB for the car is $8,930. The seller is asking $10099. I was going to take a look anyway, but am not really willing to pay over the KBB. I've been looking for this particular car for a little while, but want to make sure that...

Hi, I just joined b/c I am considering buying a 2005 Vibe. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether this is a good idea or not, d/t GM not making this car anymore? Will it be hard to get the car worked on or will most mechanics who work on Toyota Matrix's be able to do the job fine?Thanks!
