Now I have two Vibes

Post by ProfessorEmeritus »

Hello I am new here.

I bought my first vibe in 2006 specifically to carry my mother and her Wheelchair. It was quite simply the best small car I ever bought.
I now own two. Just yesterday bought a 2009 Red GT model.
(lots of jokes of course)
Also looks like a fine car.

I will need some advice on the keys for the 2009. I have 4 fobs and keys for the 2006 but it seems much trickier to get keys for the 2009

Nothing more than the click of your mouse ............ http://www.ebay.com/bhp/pontiac-vibe-key" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Once you get the blanks cut (any locksmith shop for a few bucks) then you program it yourself. Done it for one of our Vibes and all went well.

Update profile with location (we like to know if you are a neighbor to one of us) and visit often :D

It does depend on if you have the security key system as to which keys you can use. Standard in Canada, optional in US, it shows the Security light in the airbag indicator panel and plastic around the ignition key slot. My 2010 red GT does not have the security system so the local locksmith just cut me a regular Toyota key as a spare for $1, and I ordered another remote fob key from ebay that he cut, and I programmed the key fob part myself.

Welcome and congrats on the second Vibe!

Welcome to GenVibe! It's always awesome to see another 2-Vibe family member join! I am part of a 2-Vibe family (as you can see in my signature picture), as are many other members here, including tpollauf and trb. This is such a wonderful testament to how awesome and versatile these little vehicles are! Post some pictures of your Vibes when you get a chance ;)!

Both me and "My girl" have Vibes... I of course have the 03 GT and TODAY she bought this 2009 Carbon Grey Metallic AWD!

AND...get this... This is Both of our SECOND VIBE!!! She used to own an 03 AWD and I had an 04 awd.... so that makes 4 total! (I was "behind" the purchase of both of hers)

Here's her new 09 2.4 AWD with 50K miles...
If you look close you can see the one flaw... a tiny dent!
