So now I'm looking for a Vibe

Post by ClunkClunk »

I sold the Regal last week. Got within $200 of what I was looking for it and it sold in about two weeks, so I'm a happy camper. I'll miss a bit of the power, but not miss the crappy mileage or handling.Now my sights are focused on finding a Vibe. Since my budget is around $10k, I'm looking for used ones. I've been cruising craigslist, autotrader, and ebay. Any other online places that I should be looking?A couple quick questions about Vibe GTs: Does the 2zz require premium fuel? Was the 2zz available with an automatic?

No big deal. It's not likely I'd go for a GT anyway due to their resale value being higher and the cost of premium fuel, but if one came across at a very good deal, I might consider it.My girlfriend has a bit of a concern about a manual, since she can't drive them. I tried to remind her that in the 5 years I owned my Regal, she probably drove it 10 times, and I could teach her how to drive a manual.I figured out my only real big must haves on my future Vibe are power windows, power locks and ABS. Plus, I don't really want a two tone one, or a white one if I can avoid it.
