New Vibe Owner

Post by WOOS1 »

I have always admired the looks of the Vibe. After loosing my beater Sunfire (a car I enjoyed very much) to a fellow who ran a red light in his full size truck, I set out looking for an affordable Vibe for daily transportation (80 miles a day). I wound up with an Abyss 2003 Vibe GT that looks pretty much loaded (except for leather). I is in pretty much mint condition with 34K miles. I feel that I got a pretty good deal and have enjoyed the first 350 miles. I really just bought it for a DD, but after seeing some of the rides on this forum, I am finding myself looking at mods already (I already have two modded money pits). I'll be asking for some advice real soon!

Welcome, I my self have a sunfire, was very very close to trading it in for an '07 vibe, pictured below, but it wasnt worth it cuz my mom just payed off a **** load for the fire(financing) and they were giving me like 1/4 of it, but nonetheless, im still here and these guys(and gals) are a great bunch man, enjoy your stay and enjoy the GT

I know what you mean. I have a heavily modded Trans Am (which I drive less than 1K miles a year ). Definately a money pit, but guaranteed to put a smile on my face when I drive it!

Welcome to the club.I still have my Sunfire GT with the 04 vibe and a 70 chevelle with a 454 ls6, which is my baby.I drive it a few more miles a year than you,but nevertheless the chevelle makes the vibe seem like a granny mobile,but the gas milage is why I bought the vibe,so a least I can drive around the block without a fill up.
