I bought this car used and it never failed me. I had to drive about 45 minutes to reach Legacy Auto but the time and effort was more than worth it! In any other dealership I have experience with the best I could have expected is a legally required safety inspection and a detailing of the body and interior. They put in 10% of the price of the car AFTER I had already paid for it. That though turned out the be the least of the professionalism in the service they provided as the cost out of their pocket that they put in for parts alone for issues they dealt with, far beyond any safety concerns, was 10% of the agreed-to price in the first place! I wasn't surprised yet I was a little disappointed that it would take a while for their shop to get my car in for the inspection and corrections, primarily because my insurance company could not cover my rental car for as long as it would take but, Legacy Auto provided a loaner so I at least had a car to drive away with and use until mine was ready.
So far above and beyond what I could have expected or even hoped!īefore I was able to drive my new purchase home, Legacy Auto wanted to, as is their practice, go through every inch of the car replacing everything that seemed in need of being replaced, regardless of whether an actual safety issue or not as might come out of a cursory safety inspection. (As for use, we use it for “commuting, transporting family, and having fun” can’t pick just one). If I could improve it, I would add more ground clearance and selective four wheel drive with a conventional transfer case so I could flat tow it behind my motorhome. To sum it up, if they were still made, I’d buy a new one today. As such, I’ve taken it places in the mountains on steep (and I mean STEEP), narrow loose rock roads (most recently in Big Bend National Park and surrounding areas).
#2006 PONTIAC VIBE PRICE DRIVER#
It is still our daily driver plus it does double duty as our towed vehicle behind our motorhome. All accessories - power windows, door locks, AC, electronics, lights - work. Have replaced fog lights a couple of times (road debris takes them out). Headlight lense covers are weathering (originals). Paint is beginning to show its age (I hate base coat/clear coat give me acrylic enamel any day). Nose of hood is a rock magnet (the car has never been wrecked or had any body repairs or paint). Replaced valve cover gasket & O2 sensor at ~ 330,000 miles struts ~ 340,000 miles (yes, they were overdue!). Engine uses NO OIL (Valvoline 5w30) and tranny has given no problems. Have maintained consistent and regular 3,000 mile interval oil changes. We keep up with the miles using the trip odometer. It has ~ 350,000 miles on it (speedometer will only register 299999 miles). Bought a 2006 Pontiac Vibe fwd, automatic new.
