that sucks, sorry to hear it. What did you get to replace it, and how much did you get in trade?

they gave me 12.5 for it. i only owed 14. so i got away with not too much negative.i picked up a little 2001 civic ex. got it pretty cheap cause it needs some work. no worries. they are easy to work on.

I never considered my Vibe expensive but... ah well. Enjoy the Civic!

Bummer...I'm trying to figure out how a Civic would be cheaper, but hope it works out for you.

Depending on how cheap he got the Civic, his loan amount and monthly payment probably dropped significantly. Also, if you read Kevin's first post on genvibe, there are other clues why it may have been a good deal for him. Likes to mod, works at a Honda dealership, etc.

remember if you have even a slight heavy foot a Vibe GT will drink the gas and it has to be premium.
