I found the car I want to get!

Well, I found the car I've been waiting for. I've been patiently waiting to find the perfect car since I'm trading in my Mustang GT and do not want to regret it. I know I wanted a Vibe because of it's reputation, room, gas mileage, and the back two seats fold flat for a lot of trunk space. It's a 2004 with 60,000 miles. Hopefully I can get it down where the difference between the Vibe and my trade in value is $1000 or less. Here are some pics:

Nice! Can I ask you why you are trading in a bad-ass GT for a Vibe though?

Work them on the price first then throw in the trade.
Remember, I did this for 9 years.

like Justin said, negotiate new deal first. Read Edmunds.com for tips on how to buy. Year end is the best time to get them down.

Those are nice cars, im not a fan of domsetsic but after driving my cousions ireally enjoyed it. its a nice ride. Hopefully you can get a killer deal

I'm only 20, so insurance is sky high for me. Also, average 16-17mpg is rough for me. I don't drive a ton, but 1200-1500 miles a month is still rough.

I don't want to sell, I LOVE my mustang, but it's the best decision for me. I've thought of keeping it for a few more years, but by that time, it won't be worth crap. And I definitely plan on getting another Mustang when I'm older.

As far as the vibe, they have it marked at 13,500. Fairly high being an 04 with 60K miles, especially when comparing it to all of the other Vibe's around my area for sale.

It's not so much a domestic. It's built on the toyota platform. Toyota engine, suspension, transmission, frame, everything except body. The Matrix and Vibe are identical, but I like the body of the Vibe a lot more. And this one's black!

Your buying at one of the best times of the year,dealers will take a pretty good hit around x-mas.Not too many folks are auto shopping this time of year.Be patient,like Justin said,don't talk trade-in till you get your best rock botton price.Then spring the trade in on them.Remember,your best negotiating tools are your feet.Worst sound a dealer can hear is the door closing as you leave without buying Good luck

id keep the stang, buy a pos honda and swap a newer D series engine in it. Walla cheep ass ride that lasts forever

I could never get rid of a stang. Ive wanted one since I was seven and when I get it, it's not going anywhere

Neat car tho, never knew GM and Toyota teamed up O.o
