Moving to the dark side. Looking at 03 Vibe GT

I know the Vibe is a Toyota b*stard child of a defunct car company, however I'm looking at one :twisted: . It's a Vibe GT with 131K miles and they want $4K for it. They replaced the clutch recently and the tires are fairly new. The AutoChek came back clean and in this area of the country rust isn't an issue.

I know the head gaskets can be an issue along with some minor HVAC and trim problems. Any other areas I need to inspect?

Thanks,

Salsa Guy

I think everyone should learn how, it's fun and a good skill to have.

I totally agree! I drove a manual once years ago with my than-boyfriend. He said I did really well considering the car I was driving was an uber cr@ppy Chevy Beretta. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has a manual vehicle at the moment.

both my vibe and vento are standards. I would like to find another standard explorer, around a '92ish
