This is a really special Vibe. SIX cyl. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

Not only is it a six cylinder Vibe, it is a six cylinder, four wheel drive vibe!

I think its a misprint---------Nowhere does he mention the conversion OR even shows an engine pic. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! Vibe

Yeah, I bet it's a misprint. Thats a little too funky.

I emailed him and asked. I said:"are you sure that its a 6 cylinder? cause if it is it will be the first one ever"

LOL If there is a V6 Vibe than there has to be a V8 VW Bug out there somewhere.

Looks like the seller made the correction. It's now listed as a "high output 4 cyl". I guess some people don't know when to quit.

This seller has no feedback, and I'm not surprised. Why would you start the bidding at $22,000? You could get a brand new Vibe for that money!!!!

so, it is a high output 4wd?? what a dumbass! my car was stickered at 22,000 and it has pretty much everything that was available in april '02.

Is it just ABS? or does it have to do with cornering and wheelspin? My mom's Buick Regal has "Traction Control" and all it does is when the front tires spin some a little light on the dash says "Low Trac" and thats it as far as I can tell. Which seems to me a pointless feature. If you can't tell your tires are spinning, then your not allowed to drive anymore!

if a wheel spins, then power is taken from that wheel, to prevent spin and give you traction

May have corrected the engine, but still has it listed as having Power Seat, and 4wd with a front wheel drive vin.

I think this seller must have no clue what they are talking about then.

Believe me, I've had my experience with this. Until a better system is used, I'll have to say "no thanks" to traction control since I had to shut it off every time I started up the car anyway.

bid starts at 19k?? Thats pretty high ...

hell, he wanted 22 to begin with!!

What a hoot! This guy doesn't know when he's licked.I sent him a note...guess I'm having too much fun picking on lousy Ebay sellers (see http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10328)
