Selling my 2009 Pontiac Vibe with the 2.4L engine and automatic transmission. It has 153,000 miles and has been a very dependable car for me. Clean title and regular maintenance.
𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲: $4,000 OBO
The Pontiac Vibe was a collaboration between Pontiac /GM & Toyota, based on the Toyota Matrix. The engine is a Toyota Engine the same as the Toyota Matrix and Toyota Corolla. These cars very often reach 300,000 miles when well taken care of.
I've had the car since 2021 and for the last three years it has been down in Mexico with me where I now live. The car had a temporary permit in Mexico and that expires at the end of the year, so this past weekend I drove it back up to Minnesota without any issues. It's been a great, useful and dependable car for me, and I'm only selling it because I'm no longer able to legally keep it with me in Mexico.
I'm hoping to find it a good next owner who can get more use out of it. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to arrange a time to come see it! I will be available to show the car beginning November 2nd.

Regular Oil Changes - Regular change every 3000 miles, I just changed it before and after my trip back to MN. I use Valvoline restore and protect this is now the third change in oil since I started using this specific type of oil.
Brake Pads - Front brake pads still have life in them, the back pad will need to be replaced soon
𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀:
𝗧𝗣𝗠𝗦 (Tire Pressure Monitor Light) - This light is on, as one of the sensors is most likely broken. I have replaced them in the passed unfortunately they are prone to break, but do not have any effect on the cars safety or drivability.
𝗩𝗦𝗖 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 & 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 - These lights come on and off. This is a common thing with older vibes. I have had the codes checked and it shows a 𝗣𝟬𝟭𝟯𝟳 (Heated Oxygen Sensor (H02S) 2, bank 1-low voltage). This can be one of two things a H02S sensor that needs to be replaced or my mechanic shared documentation with me that condensation on the wires can occasionally cause these codes to show up.
𝗖𝗼𝘀𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
The car has minor chips and scratches on the hood and back bumper. There is one small dent on the back hatch and unfortunately the car was keyed on two sides but not enough to expose the metal, but this is all purely cosmetic and honestly not super noticeable. The underside of the car has normal MN rust, though it has not seen winter in a few years and according to my mechanic is not anything major.
𝗖𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗨𝗽:
If the buyer wants, I am more than willing to include a custom built car camping set-up that converts the car into a great road trip vehicle with ample storage space and a place to sleep (See Attached Photos)
Happy to answer any more questions and looking forward to passing this car on to someone who can use it. There is a lot of life left in her.
