Vehicle Description
BEST MADE PONTIAC EVER--BECAUSE IT IS REALLY A TOYOTA MATRIX! Toyota and GM collaborated on some hatchbacks made in the Freemont, CA NUMMI PLANT back in the 2000's, with GM getting the Pontiac VIBE and Toyota getting the MATRIX. These were the same vehicles, just badged differently for their respective brands. Toyota Dealers joke that the Pontiac Vibe was the best made Pontiac ever because it was actually a Toyota Matrix. SO imagine if you were looking at a Toyota hatchback with 88,000 miles and this type of pedigree? Do you think you could purchase it for less than $10K? I doubt it. But because this says PONTIAC VIBE--you can! How about that for value. Heck of a deal all things considered. THIS HAS THE TOYOTA 1.8L 4-CYLINDER ENGINE that was famous for reliability. Awesome engine and just another reason to consider this more of a Toyota than a Pontiac. But call us for more details. This was just traded in for another brand new Toyota, right here at Royal South Toyota in Bloomington!

Model Highlights
The 2008 Vibe is Pontiac's entry-level vehicle, and offers a lot of character and flexibility for the price. The interior is airy, and the hatchback configuration allows for gobs of cargo capacity for the vehicle's size. For extra space, the front passenger seat folds flat. A 1.8L, 126-horsepower four-cylinder engine powers the Vibe, and it is paired to a five-speed manual transmission. An optional four-speed automatic is an $850 option. The Vibe shares mechanicals with the Toyota Matrix, both of which are based on the Corolla platform. The Vibe is modestly equipped with standard items, which helps keep the cost of entry low. Power mirrors, air conditioning, roof rails, and a CD player are all included with the cost of the vehicle. New for 2008 is the addition of a standard tire pressure monitor system. For just one model, the options list is extensive. Two different aluminum wheels are available, as are two upgraded stereos with Monsoon speakers. Remote keyless entry, cruise control, and power door locks and windows can be ordered as part of the Preferred Package. Leather seats, a sunroof, satellite radio, and an alarm system are also available. For enhanced safety, anti-lock brakes, StabiliTrak, OnStar, and side air bags can be added.
