Bought a '05 Vibe

ihsn · Post by **ihsn** » Tue Jan 13, 2009 12:10 am

Just thought I'd introduce myself and my first car.Bought a used '05 Frosty Vibe for $7900(CAD) all in. I also had an option of '05 Matrix but that was closer to $11,500 and that car didnt have all the options that the Vibe had.It will be delivered tonight or tomorrow depending on the registration process. Will post pics once I have it. Any tips, suggestions etc. are more than welcome.

Welcome to the family! You will love your Vibe.Best suggestion I can make is to get pictures on here asap, otherwise the angry mob will gather their torches and pitchforks!If you ever have any questions, our forum has a plethora of knowledgeable members and tons of information.

Welcome. Welcome.What suggestions were you wondering? To do some modifications or upgrades, let us know. Highly recommend the 12V center console mod and the 03-04 dual lid conversation for starters.

Welcome to GenVibe!Make sure all the fluids have recently been changed or change them yourself once you have it. Also, make sure to check or have someone check over the entire car to see how things are working (brakes, heater, electronics, etc...)You never know how the previous owner(s) drove it or kept up with the maintenance unless you get documentation.How many miles are on it?Base? GT? or AWD?

Thank you all. Breezd, here you: (Pic from dealer) I'll post better (HQ) pictures once I get it.grizzly, do you have links for those upgrades? Thanks.BlueCrush, it is the base and has 160K on it. I have personally checked almost everything I could think of. The fluids will be refreshed by the dealer.
