Sold the Vibe
Sold the Vibe
After two years, four months, 15 days and 42,000 miles I finally sold my 2004 AWD. Nothing wrong with her just that at 105,000 miles it was probably the last time I'd get a decent trade in value for her (I got $5400). Plus I wanted better MPG, not that the 27-29 I was getting was horrible. So since Tuesday I've been the proud owner of a 2010 Honda Insight, coincidentally ending my run of Pontiac cars (Grand Am>Aztek>Vibe) at six months shy of a decade. Some good memories with the Vibe; bought her two days before my wedding so she's the one who got decorated for the ceremony. Brought my daughter home from the hospital with her. But everything changes I suppose as hopefully I'll have my 45+MPG Honda for years to come.

Got it for $16,900 total when all was said and done. I'll post a pic when I get home.

Re: Sold the Vibe
Awesome! Though, I don't even get the "horrible" gas mileage you were talking about. I average 24 mpg most of the time. I wouldn't know how to act if I got 27-29!
Re: Sold the Vibe
My driving is about 80% highway so that explains the 27-29.

Sorry to hear you got rid of the Vibe, but glad to hear it gave you some good memories over the years. Best of luck with your "new" Honda

Is it a hatchback so you can go camping and stuff - how is the insight in snow without 4 wd?

Re: Sold the Vibe
Not sure. Never used the AWD on the Vibe; the two winters I had her weren't bad ones at all.pointbob wrote:Is it a hatchback so you can go camping and stuff - how is the insight in snow without 4 wd?
