GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I traded my Vibe off on Tuesday! It was getting to be just too small for me, my 6' tall HB, my son in a rear-facing car seat, my Graco Quattro stroller and any other stuff we needed to haul around. I knew I'd be trading it off soon, but Dodge's 0% financing and 3 for free (3 months free payments, 3 months free gas, 3 months free maintenance) was an offer that was too good to pass up.So, now I'm driving a 2007 Grand Cavaran in Inferno Red. It's pretty basic; the only options it has are side airbags, auto dimming rear view mirror, and Bluetooth hands-free. I'm already missing the outside temperature thermometer and the radio telling me information about the song, but I'm sure I'll get over it!I'll likely poke my head in here every now and again.

congrats on the new ride.I am looking at getting a new saturn Vue for my wife.They are offering 0% finacing on it for 60months. Ends tonight but being I have already talked to a sales person I would still get the deal if I was to wait till the weekend.

ewww a mini van. jk my mom has one and it and the vibe are the only way i get all my crap to college. good luck with the van

Yep, the "3 months free maintenance" is one free oil change. Woo hoo, so exciting. Most dealerships throw that in for free.But, my dealership is very awesome and they do all the oil changes for free, as long as you own the vehicle. So, considering I average about 30,000 km per year ... that's 6 oil changes a year, I'll likely own the van for 5.5 years, at $40 per oil change ... $1320!

How many km did the Vibe have when you traded it. I seem to remember it was quite high.

2003 Satellite AWD Two Tone, traded off at 180,126 km

congrats on the new ride did you ever find out why it was goin through so many cats??

for what it's worth, I had put over 250K miles (400K km) on my Dodge Caravan before an accident finished it off, but even then it was still running fine. Paint made Vibe paint seem wonderful by comparison though. Good luck with it, hope you have many trouble free kms in it.
