One Year of Vibe Ownership.

Post by tnpartsguy »

I got my Vibe new year eve last year. I still like the car a lot, but I am being seduced by something else......Mini Cooper S...... Things in my world aren't going to let me have one anytime soon, but I really dig the Cooper S. I can't say that I have missed the GMC Jimmy that the Vibe replaced.

Happy one year to ya. I have an anniversary coming up too, shall be 3 years as of Jan 3 with this thing... Ahh, I wouldn't mind having a Cooper myself. My sister just bought one used, '04 Cooper with somewhere around 17,000 miles on it and somehow snagged it for $17,000 or thereabouts.. I haven't driven it, but I love the interior - that is one cool little car!

I got mine 12/30/2002, and although mine has not been trouble free, I sure am glad I didn't get yours I still really like mine, and have no plans to sell it anytime, haven't seen anything else out there that I'd like better that I could afford to either buy or feed.

Wow, this month will be 2 years for me! Let's hope it makes it to 2 if they can figure out why it won't start! I plan to refinance it next month.

Congrats!Can't say I'd rather be driving anything else after more than a year now. (At least not in the affordable/practical category.) Now having a Solstice in addition, for fun drives on nice days is another story....

Congrats! I have mine 3 years and 4 months now. So that means 8 more months left from the lease and she is going back. Can't wait for the new car smell again. The only queston what should i get?
