the new family hauler - Toyota Yaris Forums

thebarber · 07-09-2011, 04:34 PM

picked up an 03 vibe gt on friday. $6100 as-is. compression test was good, new clutch, new brakes, new tires. maroon top w/ plastic bottoms. moonroof. satellite radio (hookups and receiver)

shouldnt take much, if anything, to safety. only 90000km on the clock (not even 60k miles for the americans)

looks like ive come full circle. but this will be my wifes car.

I rented a Vibe while in Hawaii. I liked it but it only had 5,000 miles on it. Was going to do a milage check but forgot.

I had thought about a Vibe before I bought my Yaris. There are many things I liked
about it, but the gas mileage wasn't as good as I wanted. Since two co-workers have
a Yaris, I already knew many things about it.

i used to own a matrix xrs. for the price, it was hard to beat the economy, reliability, and versatility of the vibe
