Hello All, I just joined genvibe this week! I am celebrating my last car payment today on my 2004 Lava Vibe! I absolutely love my Vibe! It is so nice to hook up with other Vibe lovers and celebrate this fun, fantastic ride! I am especially happy to hear about all of the mileage that everyone has, and no problems with their Vibes. I just passed 79,000 today! When I first bought mine, many people would ask me about it as there were very few Vibes on the road around here. I love to talk about the features, styling, ride and performance! I'm very disappointed that Pontiac is ending production, and am debating buying another Vibe... but not selling the one I have!Greetings to you all!

Welcome. I've considered buying a new Vibe, too but I figure realistic trade in value on my '06 Vibe would be about $7.50 so it's worth it for me to just keep it til the wheels fall off. Luckily, it's paid for, too.

Based on your forum name, I'd guess you to live somewhere in East-central Illinois not too far from Champaign. I'll be looking to wave at you if I drive near your area. BTW, I'm near Carbondale.PlatinumVibe08

Welcome to GenVibe, and congrats on the last payment! Wish I could enjoy that as well, but I'm quite a way off myself!
