New owner!

Post by VIBEOK »

I just got back from the dealer. Helped my wife trade her PT Cruiser in for her Frosty Vibe. Moon and tunes, power package, monotone paint and 16" alloys. I think the moon roof sold her. We're looking forward to a pleasurable experience.

Thank you all, for the warm welcome. What kind of mileage should we expect? After it loosens up.
