04 Vibe question/introduction

Post by runerx »

Hello, I'm looking at a FWD 04 Vibe with the power package, Sun and sound package, and ABS. Are there any issues that I should look for that are common on these? The car looks very nice and "appears" to have been well taken care of. It also has a remote start installed.TIADave

58K, Auto, around 8K asking. They have the records that show regular 3K oil changes, the window bolt being replaced and they did front pads last year. It was driven by a woman who I doubt ever ran it hard.Other than very minor scratches on the lower front valance I could find no other issues besides mis-matched tires, 2 newer Coopers, on the rear and a Firestone and a Goodyear on the front. The fronts dont match because of a blowout and the rears were replaced as a set. The fronts semed noisy but had good tread left.Thanks again Dave

Sounds good! Price is about average... I'm sure that a few owners of early models will chime in and give their $0.02!!!

Whelp it's mine. Drove it 80 miles home and all seems well. One question I have though is, does having ABS also mean that it has trac control? I know other GMs were this way but I can't seem to find this.Dave
