Lowest mileage Vibe for sale on ebay

Post by trb »

2010 Vibe 2.4L with about 750 miles! Somebody never drove it. No way it is worth what they are asking though.

If it were 2010 that would be a good price.... but almost 3 model years later, $16K... tops.

Sometimes a car that has not been run for several years can have problems you wouldn't see in one that was driven a few thousand or more miles per year

Hmmm ... Something suspicious about this one :? Maybe the owner was stuck in one of those third world countries and was held hostage? Maybe the Vibe was used in murders/robberies and was confiscated for evidence? Original owner never made ANY payments and the repo man came & got it & it got lost in the nightmare of paperwork? I'd really be curious to know the truth :?

Well, the car is in Indiana -- which I can attest to that being pretty much third world... :mrgreen:

Looks like a great car, but that's new car money... Too much for me to want to spend on a car with little to no warranty! It would be good to know the service history, even though it sat around all the time, it still needs attention like anything else.

I will say (age, mileage and equipment-wise I suppose) this car seems to be a better deal than a used '09 AWD I saw a while back that only had 6k on the clock for around $16k. I thought that AWD was pretty awesome for being practically "new."

When I checked out this listing, the first thought I had was, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." I think 750 miles is almost too low mileage. As someone else said, sitting for too long without being started and/or driven can be bad for a vehicle. Plus, who knows why the mileage is so low. And of course... $20,000.00 is absolutely insane :roll:! Oh... and on top of all that... it's red :lol:!

Did any one read the owner's comments and the car's history report in the notice?
He kept it in the garage and never saw road salt.
I think he bought it as a collector car.

Guy listed it with a starting bid of $20K and got no bids. That's the up front way to do it I suppose, but might have been better to set a reserve of $20K with a much lower starting bid. At least that way the seller would have gotten some idea of what ebay shoppers would be willing to pay for it. As it is now, he only knows "not $20K"
