Want to Buy

Post by Tigermaple01 »

Hello everyone. I am currently looking to buy a 2006 - 2008 Vibe, if anyone has one for sale within 200 miles of Cleveland, OH. Don't want to waste anyone's time, so a couple of things... I need a sunroof, and less than 140,000 miles. My 2008 was totaled in an accident a few weeks ago. I love (loved) my Vibe! - and need a comparable replacement. If anyone is considering parting with one, Iet me know.

Welcome to GenVibe Tiger ;) Can't currently help you in fulfilling your request BUT I have some very good advise worth taking. First off, DO NOT limit yourself to a distance or geographical part of the country. I personally found a clean 2004 Vibe GT down in the Tampa Florida area three years ago. Flew down there in February ($95 one way Toledo-Tampa) met the family, checked out the car, BOUGHT the car & drove it home. No regrets at all and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. The best thing about this story is that when got it to my shop and put it up on the lift, I could not find ANY rust at all anywhere. You WON'T be this lucky if you find one locally where we live here along the shores of Lake Erie. Good luck ................... Tim

Great idea! Something I never thought of. Good advice. Also working against me is the time of year. Around the holidays, people are not thinking about buying/selling cars. My search continues daily...

Did you ever find your vibe ? I have a minimal rust 2006 Texas vibe, but alas, no sunroof. (My 2004 was totaled too).
