Just make sure it is indeed a GT by the carfax or some other way.

I have lava and love it, but looks like that one was repainted, not that that's a bad thing... but notice the emblems are gone from the doors and i assume the rear hatch... still tho...looks like a great paint job.. Heck mine needs one so I would be thrilled to have one with new paint! And I dont ca...

I know some naval personnel are stationed at norad, peterson and the air force academy and some at ft carson.

HORSESCO

Since I am fairly new to vibe ownership, (2004 base with montone ext) when I was looking for one, several had stained seats but they were all the light gray (slate?) interior. The one I finally settled on was Lava ext and graphite interior.. the seats are great.. no stains...(have lots of nics and s...

HORSESCO

I will stick with the paper air filter since this is my commuter car... already seeing a noticeable difference in gas mileage in a great way! Could be the MAF cleaning and/or the lucas fuel treatment, either way cool! I don't do my own oil but I can do the MAF cleaning 2x a year for sure!

HORSESCO

50 degrees and will be 60 tuesday! Wow, I am a colorado native and this is nice! Guess all the east coast and southern states are getting our temps!

HORSESCO

Actually mine started right up and no different issues such as idling or the like... hoping for better mpg's tho... thats why I did it-well and figuring it needed it... I got the vibe due to my long commute (140 round trip 3-4x a week) and subie only gets about 23mpg.. vibe was getting 29 hwy before...

HORSESCO

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH... I did this, (and normally don't work on my own, don't trust myself but do things such as change the air filter etc) We will see how it goes now with gas mileage.. Wish me luck!

HORSESCO

Yes i have heard of it too, its called "gator" something, I have an av and it does fade, I haven't done the treatment tho.. too lazy with three cars to keep up on it.. mine doesn't look too bad yet...

HORSESCO

k-nine you are toooo funny! i will post some next week when i am off, have to work xmas eve-day after... yes i have two dogs, a cat and three horses... that's two horses tooo many! LOL but I luv them!

HORSESCO

try this...COPY AND PASTE I JUST TRIED IT..http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...07010

HORSESCO

Also forgot to add- it does have hail damage throughout but only a few real bad smacks from hail.

HORSESCO

I know... i really need to.. guess i need to post some pics of the dogs and horses too according to k-9... but it has been absolutely frigid here, and i just got it sunday night. Have been driving the subie due to the terrible conditions.. i will get some sorry.. until then I will post a thread from...

HORSESCO

Since I am new to Vibe ownership, have to ask. Why do some have the cladding and some don't. I bought a base--but has power accessories and moon and tune pkgs, red -- but no body cladding. Why the difference? Thanks

HORSESCO

How often on an 04? Thanks

HORSESCO

I am new to this "in-cabin air filter" I did have brakes plus replace it (60.00 installed ouch!) when they did the serpentine belts, fluids and shocks/alignment when i first got it a week ago (115k miles). But do you remove the glove box and also how often does it need replaced? Thanks!

HORSESCO

I went to Pep boys and they had it right there in the aisle, $12 bucks and they put it on too, which at first the guy thought was tricky but it ended up being easy once he found the little release dealy! Advance auto was going to have to order it.

HORSESCO

It made 15th out of several hundred so still very good!

HORSESCO

Had all the fluids changed yesterday and new shocks--OEM were still on there, along with strut mounts and dust covers, also had serpentine done.. brakes were fine tho as was the spark plugs and air filters. 1200.00 later tho.. ughh. New tires too. (275.00 installed)No didn't go with pricey or snow t...

HORSESCO

Just bought my used vibe (2004 w 115k on it) and had all 4 replaced due to the originals being on it. altho it was not feeling that bad honestly. But they had a deal with the Monroe sensatrak's buy 3 get one free, plus got the mounts and boots done for a total of 790.00 installed, not brave enought ...

HORSESCO

thanks, i will most likely take it somewhere as i don't want to mess anything up...LOL so it sounds like if you don't put it on recirculate it works better huh?

HORSESCO

I know it has been dicussed here but now i cannot find it, what is that ticking sound behind the dash when I turn my car on? I hope its not an expensive fix. It seems to get quieter after driving for a bit. Please help, I just bought this used.. and have had to sink some mula in for new struts, and...

HORSESCO

try the link in my post click on it..it should work.. just got back from the shop, it is still there... needs struts and flushing of a bunch of things. Not brakes tho.. getting tires too... cha ching... would not be bad if i had not just had to go thru this with my used subie i bought tooo!

HORSESCO

well sorry, wasnt sure where to post it, new to this type of thing.

HORSESCO

yeah guess i should have given the year... well its a 2004 and was wondering if a 05 or 06 radio/cd system..would work.

HORSESCO

Thanks for all the info from everyone, good to know that not a whole lot is supposed to light up on the door, just the driver window... like my 05 mazda 3 did... in that case .. nah not going to try soldering.. that could just be dangerous knowing me!! i will just live with it!!

HORSESCO

I just clicked on the link--from my email.. you can cut and paste or just click on it... they are there, have no pics yet just got it yesterday and had to do some stuff to the subie today, taking the vibe in tomorrow... ANYWAY TRY THE LINK AND LET ME KNOW.. IT WORKED FOR ME JUST NOW.

HORSESCO

Also CD player not working, I can hear it trying and it will eject a cd if i force it in....only did that to test it,,, if it is shot will a 2006 radio fit in place of it? (it is a 2004 base) Thanks

HORSESCO

Wow sweet vibe with all your add ons! Actually yes it needs tires but I will just be getting all seasons since i have a subie I drive when the bad stuff flies! I will be getting all of the fluids flushed and a general check tomorrow. Had the battery and alternator checked at Advance auto and all is ...

HORSESCO

No did not get to see it up close and drive it... ebay kinda thing... but tons of pics, it does have a golfball size dent on the front fender by the hood and by the rear hatch on the right upper part, I will include the link to the pics.. you guys tell me what you think.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotor...

HORSESCO

How would change the fluids then? I don't have the time or tools to do it myself. Please let me know.

HORSESCO

What is the TB? I know what the MAF is.

HORSESCO

Well as the title says, I am new to vibes and hope I made the right decision. I bought it as a commuter car. hope to get good to great mpg.... (I drive 65 miles ONE WAY) 3-4x per week (have a subie for the bad weather). Anyway, just wanting to get opinions on reliability- what I have read elsewhere ...
