Replying to: jfritsch (Jun 30, 2008 9:05 am)  Thanks both of you! I finally caved today..panic mode since my current vehicle goes to the insurance co in a few days. Drove a 2004 GLSTurbo Jetta wagon that was SWEET...almost got it ($$$13000/ 39000 miles)...BUT cannot pull a boat and heard VW Service is high cost$$$ as are the Jettas. So...ran back to the Pontiac dealer. There are almost ZERO '08 Matrix's here as well. I like the Vibe's design much better. (09's stink) So...I called the local Vibe dealer back...he put me in a "loaner" (2000+ miles...mostly geriatric Caddy owners (Its a Cadillac-Pontiac Dealer) and not the White I wanted (It's a Blue-Grey with clad), no Sun and Moon OR ABS (WAAAA!) BUT dropped to below $16,000. (After $$2000 rebate) so walked out the door $17,402. $3400 less than the car I tried to get...(wanted ...White, clad, ABS,Sunroof...BUT figured a sunroof, ABS and "on star" was NOT worth $3400 more!) It's HOT here and everyone I know with a sunroof keeps them closed...so, why did I want it??? NO clue.(scratchin head) I know I could have , perhaps, gotten this '08 for a little less but I was not in the mood to haggle it more. He TRIED to sell it to me for $18,430 out the door. UH Uh. I'm a woman..figures he'd try that...LOL! He refused to budge on the final price, and was going to let me walk if any lower than the $17400 (tax, etc incl). So...that was what I paid. Hey! Gotta FULL tank of gas too!!! Hehheh! One thing...do NOT like the interior/seat covers..DARK GREY-BLACK??? NOT so Lovely in the summer.... going to get beige seat covers this week. So far...love the zip and the road feel..for a small cyl. I am migrating from a sluggish 4 cyl auto pick up truck with NO pick up!...lol. YAY! |

I am interested in buying a 2009 Vibe 1.8L automatic transmission with the preferred package with the radio upgrade, A/C and anti-theft device. The dealer says it may be difficult to get in a 1.8 rather than the larger engine. But the larger engine is not as fuel efficient and would push the price over $20,000. I've been quoted $18,762.33 in Baltimore, MD. Is this reasonable?

Replying to: amethiste (Jul 08, 2008 7:43 pm) I live in Abingdon, Harford County. I used Edmunds.com and was contacted by Fox Pontiac in Laurel. They sold me my '08 Vibe at $3500 below sticker. Good luck.

Replying to: amethiste (Jul 11, 2008 5:08 am) Many of the 08 vibes were cleared out for $4000 or more off msrp. An 07 used vibe in the 19000 dollar msrp range wholesales for about 12000 so $15000 or so (4000 off) is about what the new 08 was worth. For the 09's I would want 2000 off or more (plus tax title). Whether thats achieveable now with the run on hi mileage vehicles I don't know but it soon may be. Good luck --jjf 18,762.33 is the out the door price for an 09 Vibe. Sorry I wasn't more clear

Replying to: tyac77 (Jun 25, 2008 3:27 pm) The dealership was great, though; no-pressure at all, ever. I love my Vibe.
