GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

No she wasn't stolen... I finally bought my dream car! The vibe held it's value pretty well though =D

Will miss Phylis, but thankfully the new car has seats that bend down in the back too, so I'm not missing the utility as much!

Nice "new" ride! Guess you'll be stopping at the gas pump a bit more but on the other hand, you won't be allowing many others to pass you up on the road Just curious as to transaction $$$. Trade in given? Year & cost of Challenger? Mileage & options? I'm helping a friend restore a wrecked 2011 Challenger right now and he should have it on the road by mid- summer. Bought it salvaged for $5000 but was really hit hard and needed a lot of work. Enjoy the new ride!

WOW! You traded your Vibe for a MoPar ???? Tell us all about your new ride... When you sober up!
Seriously, I hope you will update us on your impressions of the Challenger once you've put some miles on it. Congrats!

Wow, your new car is completely the opposite of a Vibe ! Sad to see the Vibe go (Stealth is one of my favorite colors on the 1st gens!), but I do like the new Challengers. I have always preferred the looks of the new Challenger over the new Camaro. Enjoy your new ride !

Ok. So I just couldn't resist sharing these photos with you and hope & pray that your Challenger NEVER has to look like this while you own it! These brothers who I share a shop with are BIG TIME Mopar fanatics and have restored several Mopar vehicles. Pictured is the wrecked 2011 Challenger and if you look close you'll see a nice Black 1969 Road Rummer and also a 1960 Chrysler 300 convertible being restored. Interesting note about all the metal that went into this car. Everything is your typical steel except for the hood. The hood is ALUMINUM !!! Enjoy

Thanks for the comment! Getting a lot of those now when I drive around the city haha

If you "build" a 2014 SXT challenger with a sunroof and sound system it's around that price: http://www.dodge.com/en/challenger/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Of course I got it a few grand cheaper

The vibe was around 6 grand as a trade-in. Not bad, but I could of got 2 grand more selling it myself. (Didn't have the time/patience)

ALSO: Thanks for sharing your pics! The road runner's front styling is definitely my fav besides the 73' cougar! http://www.barrett-jackson.com/applicat ... .2&aid=423" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yup the new Challenger is the only new muscle car on the road that looks most retro Unfortunately they unveiled the 2015 design a few weeks after I purchased it. The interior had a overhaul finally!

Well first off it's definitely a hell of a lot easier merging on the highway! The cup holders are ginormous, and while driving it really soaks up the bumps in the road!

Here's a quick vid I did of it: http://youtu.be/jMzKTjSxcVo
