Sign up! It's not painful unless you have carpel tunnel and have difficulty typing. It only takes a few minutes. Give GenVibe a 3rd birthday by signing up.

Maybe you should start pounding on people's doors and threaten to break limbs if they don't sign up. You could be looking at a great new career opportunity.

Welcome to all the new members!Almost 27K for a USED '04 GT? Is that in USD? If so, I wouldn't have been able to contain my laughter!

when I started looking for them some months ago most were selling in the 26k 28k rangefunny story.as some of you know I owned a black 2003 vibe gt for about two weeks before finding out it had been in a crash and returning it to the dealer for another car.Well I went to that dealer after probably a year and some months with the other car and saw they still had the vibe, I wasn't sure then so I asked a random sales person who didn't know me and sure enough he said it was a new 2003 blablalba he told me they were selling it for 27k (I had originally bought it for 25) I asked for the keys and when I saw the mileage (200 miles) there was no mistaking it, same car. I got real serious and told him I wouldnt pay a penny over 18k for that car. He replied that MAYBE 20k but not 18k..how's that for lowering the price of a car fast, 7k down in one punch..of course there was no way in hell I was going to buy that one again.

One very guilty lurker here. I was going to wait until the Vibe was sitting in my driveway,to sign up, but since it is now sitting at the dealership with a "SOLD" sign on it just for me, that's close enough! Sooo excited for it to come home though...

New to me, a 2003 Base model Satellite Silver Vibe, tinted windows, Moon and Tunes. Let's just call it a present to myself for making the Dean's list for two semesters in a row.My crappy Ford Escort wagon died just after making the 1800 mile trek to school last fall and I'm finally replacing it. I'm a music major and need a way to haul my cello around, but I simply could NOT bear to drive around in a soccer mom wagon any longer. As you can imagine I'm simply ecstatic about getting my Vibe! Pictures forthcoming, I promise.
