Made the '09 Upgrade

Post by drmc1983 »

I made the switch from the '04 to the '09 Vibe and wow am I happy i finally have some power. The 2.4 engine is a great addition to the options along with the long list of other perks my '04 did not have.

Car looks great!(Beware of disappearing wheel centre caps...I recommend getting them attached properly ASAP).

Not exactly sure yet. My dealer has reassured me they will be doing so, but I am waiting for one to come in that did fall off.I will let you know.

In spite of flying center caps....that is a beautiful, shiny, red GT. Congratulations! Is that your car on the new GenVibe home page banner (top)? Did you trade in your old 04 or resell it privately?

Well as soon as i was made aware of this problem, :*( i lost my first one. i think i am going to pull the other 3 off and get silicone and find out through the dealership tomorrow what they can do for me to get another one. My new one does look like the new forum pic. lol. i ended up paying less money for this car, and my downpayment is $50 less. i traded my '04 in. Thanks for the assistance even though it came a day too late.. oh well better than losing all 4 already like i'm hearing.
