New but not new.

Post by 7mac7 »

Hey all. I joined a while back when I bought the Vibe- 2005 Moon and Tune platinum power everything keyless entry remote start. I haven't hung around because, well, my wife was driving it. What a shame! Just two weeks ago I bought her a minivan. Now, the Vibe is mine as I planned when I bought it almost two years ago. I bought it in Warren Michigan in pristine condition from a mom and pop dealer for 9999.99 with just under a hundo on the odometer. I thought it to be a bit high but you can't tell the mileage from driving it. She feels like she has 50k on her. I got a recall notice in the mail a while back about the pcm. I need to take it in for that. Since I confiscated the car from my wife I have had it detailed and I will be giving it a full tune up on the weekend. Is there anything that I should know about this car ie common problems, some kind of maintenance that should be attended to that may have been missed up to this point. Glad to be here and part of this.

Welcome *back! Hey, it's yours now, hopefully we can see a nice shiny pic after you get'er all detailed.I know how you feel, I had to buy Hubz the deceptiFord in order to get my Jeep back so I could trade it off for the Vibe.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I intend to be in here a bunch. Can anyone tell me anything that I may need to attend to on these cars that gets overlooked often?
