If you're interested in this car, you probably already know it's the same car, same mechanicals as the Toyota Matrix S, manufactured in the same Fremont, CA plant.
Two suburban owner, garage-kept Vibe GT with 134K miles.
1.8L 4 cylinder VVTL-i motor with 180 hp, 6-speed manual trans, FWD, (2-wheel drive).
This top-of-the-line GT model is a rare car, as most are the base 130 hp. Later GTs dropped to 164 hp.
The good:
-Clutch replaced 2011, with about 22K miles.
-New tires with about 6K miles.
-Front brakes about 6K miles ago.
-No rust, nice paint.
-No accidents or major body damage ever.
The needs:
-O2 sensor to pass emissions. Passed last year fine, with no other problems.
-Minor dent on rear hatch. Minor dings elsewhere.
-Needs front-left strut, (rattles)
-Fabric Interior has no rips or holes, but needs a good cleaning.
-Rear brakes due soon.
-Trans shifts fine, but 5th gear synchro weak, (still engages)
So, she's not a perfect, showroom car... but very nice indeed and needs minimal work.
An absolute blast to drive and still delivers 28 mpg on the highway!
Many, many more miles left on this rare beast. Don't really want to sell, but new business requires a larger vehicle.
Located in Oak Park, IL. Just west of Chicago.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
