#210 of 399 Re: roof rack [doitmy] by gumbash Mar 30, 2006 (11:52 am)
Replying to: doitmy (Nov 26, 2005 6:56 pm) just bought my '06 vibe (standard) and am really pissed at the same problem $149.00 each for the cross bars.   I thought I would have a "usable" roof rack.   1) I really think they need a class action suit for misleading advertisment - a roof rack should be a "usable roof rack" - and some areas of the pointiac web-site say it is "side rails" (but not side-rails only) - others only say 'roof rack' - a 'roof rack' should be usable as is without any options.   2) they might as well say "roof rack" - side rails and cross bars are each individually optional.   3) anyone know where I can get a good 3rd party roof rack cross bar for cheap?   sam Replies to this message: steine13 (May 08, 2006 2:43 am) hjulien (Aug 16, 2006 10:09 am)
#211 of 399 2006 Spring prices?! by fear_hope Apr 01, 2006 (8:44 pm)
It seems that almost everyone who posted prior to March was getting about $4000 off MSRP for their Vibes. Now it seems that dealers are barely giving $2000 - $2200 off including rebates. Does anyone know why the deals are so shallow right now?
#212 of 399 Is this a good price? by aveo_bob Apr 21, 2006 (4:20 am)
Went to the dealer last night that had exactly what I wanted a "Moonstone" Vibe with automatic and perfered package. The deal was 2000 dollars off in rebates (500 vibe rebate, 1000 conquest rebate, and 500 for a trade in of 99 or newer) Then another 1000 off from the dealer for their promotion. So it would be 15690 plus they offered us a 1000 bucks for our 2000 Daewoo trade-in. Does this sound like a good deal?
#213 of 399 Got One by aveo_bob Apr 26, 2006 (5:03 am)
Well after haggling with two dealers on two different cars I talked one of them down to what I think is a pretty good deal. I got a Moonstone Base with the Prefered Package (power everything), Automatic, and ABS for 14000 +TTL after our trade in of 2000 Daewoo Nubira with 95,000 miles.   I walked out smileing

Replying to: gumbash (Mar 30, 2006 11:52 am) This my be a little late, but I don't usually hang out here... Others have commented on this and complained bitterly about the not having the factory cross bars.... I wouldn't worry about it.   In fact, I've never used mine; when I put stuff up there, I use Yakima "Railriders", which are pretty decent, universal-fit adapters that attach solid round cross bars to the factory rack. That'll haul anything that ISN'T a 17-foot canoe, and costs $150 or so. Not exactly cheap, but compared to a $17k+ car...   But I usually just use one pair of those as a (very good) anchor for the rear, and a pair of Q towers for the front. I've been known to haul fairly serious weights hundreds of miles in 50+ mph cross winds.   Here's a picture of what some of that looks like... the problem with the old Q towers has been solved by Yakima sending me a new set for free... http://www.msu.edu/~steine13/vibe.html   The factory cross bars are junk anyway.   -Mathias Replies to this message: hjulien (Aug 16, 2006 10:09 am)

Replying to: aravind406 (May 24, 2006 12:14 pm) It sounds high to me. I got my 2006 Vibe at invoice minus rebates. What state and city/town are you purchasing in? Replies to this message: aravind406 (Jun 06, 2006 5:38 pm)

Replying to: fear_hope (May 25, 2006 5:58 pm) am really sorry for the delay in replying. I was away vacationing at the big island. just returned to get bak to negotiations. lucky for me gm has an additional 500 off in june. But rite now, the dealer is asking for 400 usd advertising fees. This is the only additional fees over invoice from edmunds. what would you suggest? do i hold out or go shopping again? Aravind

Replying to: steine13 (May 08, 2006 2:43 am) Hi Mathias,   I have a 3 yeay old Yakima rack with 4 Qtowers that I used on my Echo. I just bought myself a vibe and you like to reuse my old rack parts if possible to carry my sea kayak. I ordered new clips for the front towers and purchased Railraiders for the rear.   Your qtowers really scratched your paint job! Was your trouble due to your Qtowers or just the clips? Did you use the rubber stickers they give with the clips? Are they useful? Any suggestions to protect my paint job?   Cheers Ryk
#219 of 399 "New" 2005 Vibe - Price as new or used? by kitchenchef Oct 13, 2006 (4:28 pm)
Hello,   I saw a new 2005 (2WD, AT, fully loaded) Vibe at a New York Metro area dealership. Not a typo in the model year. I asked to take a test drive. The rep indicated the vehicle was involved in an accident and asked whether I was still interested. I took a test drive (accelerate, decelerate, hands off the steering wheel) and did not notice any stability issues. I however heard a noticeable puttering sound from the front driver side (as if a pinhole leak in the exhaust). Drove a 2006 immediately afterwards and did not hear this sound. Rep indicated 2005 vehicle was hit while parked overnight but everything is okay now because repairs were completed "to factory specifications". Vehicle appears new every other way. Carfax returns 0 records for the VIN. There is about 80 miles on the odometer. Sticker price says $22,900 (did I say loaded?) and dealer offers $17,900 "no pressure" price. Based on paperwork shown me I suspect this vehicle has been in the lot in excess of 18 months.   My question is whether this is a good offer that I should take/leave, can I negotiate further to the $14K to $16K range due to a branded title and putter sound, or should I avoid altogether because the car is damaged goods? Edmunds indicates used with clean title $15,700 via private party for outstanding condition.
