Low Maintenace

[jake75]

I bought my 2009 Vibe in mid-Jan 2009. My maintenance expenditures so far (2 years 2 months) have totaled $55.18. The first oil change was done with a $15.95 plus tax offer from the dealer. A tire rotation was part of a 10 for $10 special, $10.68 incl. tax. The next 3 were done at no cost due to a GM Offer. I also replaced the front wiper blades at a cost of $27.48 for RainX Latitudes purchased from Amazon.com. Of course I only have about 10,800 miles on the car - but still not bad. This is one of the reasons I like to buy "new".I gave the buyer my records for my '03 but I think in 6 years my maintenance costs for that '03 over 33,000 miles were only about $350 plus about $250 in repairs. Dealer had a 10 oil change for $119 deal. Bought a battery.

Great to hear ! My mom and I are going on two years of owning our Vibes and we haven't spent much on maintenance either. Here's hoping it continues !

Mine needs about $500 in parts alone (doing the work myself) in the next few weeks. '03 with 121k miles and it has been maintained well throughout its life (we've had it since 21k).
