new vibe owner

Post by ahults »

I wanted to introduce myself I recently purchased an 05 vibe base. It was used as a company vehicle that I have drove since it was new. they decided to upgrade my vehicle and was going to trade the vibe in I bought it for what they were going to get trade in. I always like driving the car it has 151,000 miles and has had no major problems just tires and brakes I could'nt let it go only thing I am worried about it hopefully the decals come off easy and do not show up after they are removed I have a detailer that is going to do it.

Welcome to GenVibe Adam ;)

It wasn't one of these ..... was it ???????

My company had several of these throughout the country but I don't think they allowed us to
go over 100k miles before turning them back into the lease company. Either way, glad to hear
you were able to purchase it for a reasonable price and that you'll be giving it a good home.

Let me guess the color ................................... WHITE 8-)

Its dark blue with black interior and it has way more stickers than the Honeywell vibe. It has signs on hood and all doors it's at the detailers it's getting the full package cleaning inside and out. I have made sure that the oil has been changed every 3,000 it does't burn a drop of oil.

It's got to be a good feeling that you know the whole history of the Vibe. I hope the detailer doesn't have too much trouble getting all the decals off and that the darker paint underneath isn't too obvious. Be sure to post pictures when you get it back ;)!
