Matrix and Vibes for sale

Post by shibaman »

Here in Sacramento area ther were 3 Matrix and one Vibe GT for sale. Cheap! 13900 for a low mil. Matrix XRS -16k mi. If I did not have so much $ invested in my car maybe I would sell it and get a GT or XRS.The problem is how do you go from a car that is modded back to stock? I don't want to do the mod and $ thing again on some ones stock car.

Well, if your list of mods in your signature line is all that you have on your Vibe, all but the Injen CAI should be able to be transferred right over to a GT and probably an XRS. Your CAI would probably sell pretty quick on this site if its reasonably priced and then you could buy one for the GT/XRS and use that money toward it so it wouldn't cost too much. The only thing that would cost you as far as switching the mods goes is your time. Unless you don't do these things yourself and have to pay a shop to do the work, then it may become cost prohibitive. Just some food for thought.

It is too much work to remove every thing to stock. If I didn't have the dogs and their crates to fit in the car I could buy a nice Celica GTS for around 13-14K already modded. Nice cars but too impractical for me

In that case, I say keep the dogs and the Vibe! And I still feel that, for what kind of car that it is, the Celica GTS is still way underpowered in stock form.
