    yeah I got kid well one and another on the way. I don't have a problem with the truck since I carpool to work. but that stupid vibe and humming is annoying and the stealership says that's normal. I work with mechanics and they all told me that cv shouldn't move vertical at all so yeah. I have the part on hand just need time and help to get it done. my truck is also paid off. but I don't want any more payments either. but if you can afford your payments I would say go for it. also In my opinion dealer warranty are garbage casue they will lose money for fixing under warranty

    IMHO, if you are at your limit, can't find the vibe and it drives you nuts, and finances allow, sure man - get a new ride. Tacoma, F150 - whatever makes you happy. I'll tell you this though, buy something you don't want to lift - or you'll be in the same boat, and this time with a payment. Good luck! Vibes suck man.

    I didn't lift this...these vibes started at 10,000 miles...slowly got worse, like a leaky faucet.

    I don't lift trucks, but when I do its incline press!

    FWIW:
    Did tranny... $1,950.00 (2yr/24k warranty)

    The vibe in driveline is gone. The one since 10,000 miles.... go figure?

    I see no sense in selling to take on payments. I will just throw another $1000 in it
    It is clean, accident free, new michelins, Bilsteins, tranny, always Mobil1 etc etc...

    ADDING:
    Replacing front door tint
    TRD seat covers up front
    Helwig Helper spring
    Solder overhead console transistor
    JVC am/fm/bluetooth/back up cam
    maybe some floor mats (Husky)
    (Fix SLOW a/c leak at some point)

    For my use and the way this thing drives I am driving it till wheels fall off!
