New Member With 09 Vibe

Post by agksimon »

I'm a new member to this group. I just traded in my 06 Vibe FWD, as I got stuck in the snow a couple of times this last winter here in Michigan. I bought an 09 AWD Vibe in Carbon Gray. It's a lot quieter ride than the 06 and the 2.4 engine is more powerful, but of course, the gas mileage is down somewhat. It only had 6 miles on it when I picked it up Monday, March 31st. It's not the premium sound system, but it sounds better than the other Vibe and it has the 17" chrome wheels, that I didn't care about, but it was on the car so I had to take them. I saved close to $1700. by shopping around, as a big volume dealer here gave me more for my old Vibe, as he already had a bunch of customers for it. You have to bargain with them and stick to your guns, or they'll take you to the cleaners.

Welcome! I can see why you went with the AWD. My FWD sucks in the snow.
