Best used 1st gen to buy??

Post by classyceta »

Guys, I am looking to get a used 1st gen vibe. Which is the best years to get and which to avoid???

This will be for my parents that will only use for 3 months out of the year in Florida and park it for the remainder of the year (snow birds). My parents likes my 09 GT since they can use the cargo space when needed.

So which is the best year and what should I look for...Oh, and if someone is getting rid of a vibe in south Florida let me know...THANKS!!!

One year isn't exactly "the best" year, but 03 and 04 had issues with the 5-speed manual transmissions. For more on the little differences between Vibes, I've already made a massive post regarding that.
