Seller's description

For those who don't know, Pontiac Vibes were made by Toyota, using the Matrix/Corolla chassis. It was a weird deal between Pontiac and Toyota and there's a Scotty Kilmer Youtube video that tells you more about it called "Stop buying Toyotas, buy this Pontiac instead."<br> <br> This one has the larger engine (2.4L), and a 5-speed manual transmission.<br> <br> It is possibly the quietest car I've ever driven, so it would be a hard one to learn stick on.<br> <br> It's been a work car most of its life, and it shows. But it starts right up and drives great.<br> <br> I put a brand new $200 battery in it in May.<br> I also installed 4 new tires that now have around 2000 miles on them.<br> I did an oil change around 2000 miles ago.<br> I replaced the EVAP canister to make the check engine light go away.<br> It is really not that rusty. It should be undercoated this winter because it's still at the point where everything is totally able to be worked on.<br> <br> It burns oil so you have to drive around with an extra jug and check your dipstick frequently.<br> My buddy took out some of the interior to put in his Matrix, so it's missing the headliner and carpet and some other pieces.<br> Unfortunately, an F-250 tried to hump this Vibe recently, and now the tailgate does not open. I have not looked into it at all, so there might be a way to get it to work, I just don't know.<br> <br> Someone careful and meticulous could get a lot of life out of this car. Totally depends how well you treat it. I'm selling it as a winter beater and AS-IS.<br> <br> Price firm.
