I saw this Mail Vibe today. It's a 03 AWD with 185K miles on it. The guy bought is 3 years ago (w/Hail and side Damage) and being a rural mail carrier he has put a lot of miles on it. He did admit it lacks power and put a few dings on the right side. That's my Trix next to it. Yea it looks a whole lot better sitting next to vibe.
Enjoy....LOL

Yea it was rough and the interior....hmmm let's call it dusty. I don't see many rural mail cars, jeeps, trucks that are not beat to heck. They have a rough life. Unpaved roads, lots of starts and stops.

Wow that poor Vibe really suffered some serious hail damage My Vibe just got "teased " by hail last fall and I only have TWO minor dings as a result. one on the hood and one on the roof. Nothing compared to this Vibe.

May have been owned by a storm chaser. Major hail damage is a badge of honor. Or means you are a dumbazz!

Nope just an lowered 05 SC 4wd XR Trix. From talking to him it sounds like he takes very good care of it (engine and drivetrain that is). Function>Form
Viva la Vibe

You got to commend that fellow for rescuing a Vibe. Most likely the insurance company of the former owner totaled it and it was headed to the scrap yard but a person with a stroke of genius must have said" it is already dented so it would make a excellent mail carrier"
Oddly enough about dents and things, I was looking for a nice Jeep Wrangler a few years ago but all I could find were pristine ones with no dents on them. To me to have a Jeep Cherokee or Wrangler with no dents is a mark of shame. Dents and Jeeps go together
! That should be a crime!
