newbie here

Post by MrBook »

Currently looking for to purchase a Vibe to replace my current car and cut down on my gas bill as well. Been lurking this forum and researching around for info on these vehicles. Hopefully will be bringing home either a 04 or 06 Vibe Sat.

Welcome, good choice and I hope you end up getting the vibe! The older vibe looks better to me as well, much meaner...

I agree about the front end of the 03-04 looking 'meaner', I was a little sad to find out they changed it by the time I got up to buying mine.But you'll love your Vibe no matter how it looks!

You're all wrong. The second '05 + front end is way better looking.

It is fun to watch too! Mr. Book,You are so right to be shopping for a Vibe. Yesterday my friend said I was ahead of the curve buying the Vibe before gas spiked. Oh and if you are looking for a used Vibe try http://www.kbb.com. You can check the value and find any kind of Vibe you want there. I love my 2004 Vibe with the mean front end.
