Is this car can be a 2005?

Post by Keylies »

Hi!I saw an add offering a 2005 vibe. This is the picture that goes with the ADD:I'm not an expert, but my opinion is that the car in this picture can't be a 2005 Vibe...Only 2003 and 2004 have this fascia.

Yes.. only 03-04 has that front bumper.. Maybe they put the older bumper on the car? If you can even do that.. I would if I owned a first gen Vibe.. I prefer the first bumper/grill rather than the "new" one.

Could also be an honest mistake in the ad.I have a 95 Toyota Pickup, no, no I don't! I've got a 94 Toyota Pickup!!!I can't tell you how many times I've opened the door to verify if it's a 95 or a 94!!!!! I've got a Chevy S 10 pickup of the same vintage, sitting here right now I cannot for sure tell you the year of it.Dave

The only way to be sure is to check the VINThe seller could have been using a generic photo from somewhere else altogether, which has happened in the past. Or the fascia could have been a transplant.
