Shadow Realm returns

Post by Shadow Realm »

To all Genvibers,Sorry that I haven't written in so long! I finally finished all the work that I needed to do on the new house. So now I have a little more time to talk again. I still don't have any access at work but that's OK.After much thought about the SC I decided to buy a GT, so last Friday I traded my 2003 Shadow in for an 2004 Abyss GT. I am so excited. It is so much fun to drive. I will send pictures as soon as I can. To all my genvibe friends...Merry Christmas!Shadow Realm

Well, welcome back indeed! Did you just move to Florida recently? I thought you were living in California.

Thank you all! I will send some pictures as soon as I can. Has anyone here bought the SC yet? My service dept said they are avaiable but on back order...pretty much the reason that I decided to buy the GT. Now I just need a CAI and Tint on the new windows:)Shadow Realm

So you traded your original Vibe for an Abyss GT? How much money did you pay for teh exchange? Because I really want the manual trans.

So what does the other half think about all this. She was fun when we got together in Orlando. Juan, and I need to get you up to speed on the CLub thing. He'll be happy not to be the only GT!

Yes, I will have to change my sig! Yes, the better half loves her new Vibe GT. I haven't thought of a name for him yet. I am still working on that.As far as what I got for trade: They gave me 12000 for mine and then I took 100 rebate and 0% for 60. It was a no-brainer, my payment only went up 10 dollars. Not too shabby going from an 03 to an 04 and going from base to GT too:).The weather is Rainy down here right now so I will try and get some pictures this weekend.Shadow Realm

Wow, that is a great trade! A difference of $10 per month over a 60 month loan is only about $500 total difference for the term. Wow. So essentially, for about $500 you were able to upgrade to a GT. That's almost unbelievable! More HP and way less $$ than going the supercharger route!
