Interesting Vibes for sale

Post by vibenvy »

I was looking at 2009-2010 Vibes on Auto Trader and came across this 2010 Red Hot Metallic 2.4L Base that has 2009-2010 Vibe GT wheels on it. I just thought I'd post it for any 2009-2010 2.4L Base owners who are curious as to how GT wheels would look on their Vibe.

I also just found this 2009 1.8L Base that has 1st gen 17" wheels on it. It also has nice looking custom upholstered leather front and rear seats.

Wow, that base with 17's looks good. The base with 18's needs to be lowered, though. I actually might like to see 09 GT 18's on something like a Crown Vic.

I wonder if that leather interior was pulled from a diff Pontiac or custom made?

The interior was probably installed aftermarket by the dealer as it is not that expensive. When we were looking at the Equinox, we could get leather just like the factory leather installed for about $800. Two tone would have been $60 more and embroidered items would range from $30+ each. That $800 is the same price as the factory option and not too bad IMO. But we decided on the factory two tone interior which includes the doors, dash & console too, and that would not have been doable aftermarket.

I almost bought an extra set of 2009 GT wheels and thought I could try them on my Mustang. I probably will try my current set on it once I get it running again, just for the heck of it.

I was really impressed with the white Base when I first saw it! It's nice to see that someone did tasteful things to it instead of some of the stuff people do to vehicles :|.

It is definitely the original Vibe seats, so, as trb said, I'm sure they had it done aftermarket.

I agree! If only I were in the market for a 2nd gen 1.8L Base :P!

Looks like the driver's set in the white car has some damage - too bad.

trb - are you sure that the $800 was for real leather? And by that I mean not the typical bonded leather crud that is OEM in most cars with leather? I got a couple of quotes on leather interiors to replace OEM fabric seats (not for the Vibe) and the cost was over $1000. Maybe they are just more expensive around here.
