Please post the MSRP bottom line price on the Mulrooney sticker. If you already know the "invoice price with all your options", (be advised that the dealers have a $1500.00 " mfg. to dealer incentive" to get rid of the 2005's. (there is a 500.00 rebate for the customer on the 2006 models, so take it from there.Forget the taxes, title and tags when posting. Was there any dealer added fees?
  If you subtact the $1500.00 from the "invoice price, then I assume you received a good deal (but just remember this model is now one year old as far as trade-in would be considered; however, if you are intending to keep the Vibe for many years, then that part would not be a major factor.
   Let us know. Did that 20.5K include tax, tags and title??? Was it AWD or FWD.???There is almost 3000.00 difference in that alone. We need all the facts.

Once again, there is not enough info posted. The 17,725.00...was that with the tax, tags and title work or was that before the tax, tags and title work??? If it was with the TT&L, then it was a great deal.
   If it was before TT&L...then here is what I can tell you:
               MSRP $18,690.00 Invoice $17,418.00
              Tint 230.00 230.00
             Total $18,920.00 $17,648.00
             rebate -500.00 - 500.00
  Conquest - 1,000.00 - 1,000.00
    
  Final before TT/L $17,420.00 $16,148.00
 
  This does not include the fact that the taxes are always on the MSRP, in this case$18,690.00. so I really can't give you an out the door figure unless I saw your actual "sales invoice".
   Another thing, when I questioned CarMan about the Conquest incentive..my understanding is the Conquest incentive was only for the 2005 model Vibe, not the 2006 models???) (you mentioned a "Concourse" $1000.00....I don't know what this is.????
   I really don't know if you received a good deal or not...you might have paid
$300.00 over MSRP or you might have paid a lot less if it is with TT&L:

If your MSRP was $19,015 then you got more that just the power package and automatic xmission.You probably got the monotone package also.That's why there is a $325.00 difference in your MSRP and mine (thru Edmunds site) . So yes, it looks like he sold to you at Invoice price.( and for a 2006, that is a GOOD deal plus the rebate and Conquest incentive. The only discepencies that I can see ( and they might be legit, MAYBE) is the "Vehicle inventory tax" of $41.04 (That sounds like an add-on...but I could be wrong)Everything else seems AOK ( I don't know what that $5.00 "Deputy fee' is??
   Your trade-in...I don't have any idea what it was worth, plus you owed $3,846.53 on it that they evidently had to pay off!.
   Motionman: the bottom line is this; As long as you are happy with the deal...THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!!!!
   From now on, your best bet is to pose the question, "Did I get a Good Deal" BEFORE and I repeat BEFORE you buy the vehicle...not afterwards.
   Enjoy your Vibe and I wish you many happy and trouble free miles. ENJOY!!!

Don't even ask. You will be disappointed Let me ask you...does your car have the monotone (all one color) or do you have the bottom portion of your Vibe in that greyish plastic type finish called cladding? If you have the monotone (all one color) than the $325.00 will compensate for the adv. fee. Some dealers do charge an advertising fee but that is "negotiable".
   Like I said before...ENJOY IT! Keep us posted as to your experiences with the Vibe in the "Pontiac Vibe" topic here at Edmunds.
   Go to Google.com and type in "Pontiac Vibe Clubs" and get some views from other clubs as well.

I am getting the cladding. So, they made it sound like it is a must to charge me for the advertising fee. Damn them!!!
 
I will enjoy it...thanks! I just do not want to be a victim of a car stealership.
 
Thanks for all your help!!!

You still did good. They sold it to you for "almost invoice" and then you still received a 500.00 rebate and then another 41000.00 Conquest rebate. That's almost $1500.00 below invoice! Pluys, it is a 2006 not a 2005.
