New Member 2009 Vibe 3 days old

[mbavon2222]

Just got my 2009 Vibe 3 days ago. I love it so far. I got a great deal on it. It has 80,000 miles on it. I guess it is considered a lot of miles. However it has only been owned by 1 car dealership its entire life. (Rental ? Program car? unsure).I am from the North and the car is from Virginia. It looks brand new with a few very small stone chips on the front bumper/hood. It is Hot Red Metallic with ebony seats and has almost all/all the options that were available. I'm not sure what else there was as far as options (Tires have a lot of tread left,monsoon stereo, sun roof, 18 inch aluminum wheels, remote keyless entry etc (all part of the GT package I believe?). It also was brought up to date with 2 Toyota recalls. I hope I'll be as happy as I am now with the Vibe 10 years from now. By the way (I had a 2004 Subaru Outback to trade (fair condition, some rust, ac doesn't work, needed new brakes). I got the Vibe for $10, 873 -- my trade for a total price of $5,873. Please tell me I made a good deal

Welcome to GenVibe Also nice to see another 2nd generation Vibe owner here Post pics of your Vibe when you get a chance & update your profile so we know where you're from. If you have 18" wheels you either have the GT model or someone put on aftermarket wheels. Just curious. Also you likely have the 2.4L bigger 4 cylinder engine! More info & pics when you get around to it. The price seems right about where it should be for the year & mileage. Nice find & visit this forum often

I don't think my reply came out. I thanked you for welcoming me. I did indeed purchased a 09 Vibe GT (spoiler, ground effects, GT embroidered on the front buckets, 2.4 liter engine, aluminum wheels, monsoon stereo system etc) I do not have any pictures that I have taken myself yet. I have one from the dealership that I am posting for now. (at least trying to)

Welcome to GenVibe! That's a very sharp looking GT you've got there! Props on posting a picture right away !

Welcome and nice GT! Looks familiar, even has pinstripes like mine! It is possible it may have been owned by the dealer for family use or for parts delivery. Usually rentals or loaner cars are not driven THAT much and they are sold when the mileage is lower.

Congrats and enjoy your new car!

Awesome choice! I have 108,000 on my 09 GT now! Red was my choice of color first.. until I saw the silver. You got yourself the second best color!
