Q: vibration

asked by on December 30, 2016

Ever since I purchased this vehicle roughly 5-6 months ago, there's a vibration that is pretty noticeable. I'm not sure what it is nor have I had someone check it. But when it's in gear is when i usually notice it, or more so being in gear but idle (like at a drive thru) but if I put it in park it's okay... what could this be?? and how much does it cost to fix roughly?

My car has 148000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
