#321 of 399 buying question on used 06/07 vibes by sazajo Oct 13, 2008 (5:54 am)
I am interested in a couple of vibes both have same features. 06 bright red has 18100 miles on it and little over 8 months left on factory warranty.14290 asking price. 07 bright blue 2 tone has 32525 miles on it with 14290 asking price also. I have looked at tmv for both with 13800 being 06 tmv and just over 15000 for 07. Curious about others opinions would the low mileage & whats left of factory warranty be better or the 07 with the longer powertrain/roadside warranty be a better deal. thanks for your opinions Replies to this message: maxx4me (Oct 13, 2008 11:48 am) jfritsch (Oct 14, 2008 3:06 pm)

Replying to: sazajo (Oct 13, 2008 5:54 am) oh, I would definitely take the 2006 with the bumper to bumper warranty knowing that I had 8 months to find any defects with the car. That is good piece of mind. As for mileage, it is totally irrelevant. I wouldn't care if the car had 50,000 miles on it because it is a Corolla and has a proven 200,000 engine. Enjoy your Vibe. I now have an '03 and '09.

Replying to: sazajo (Oct 13, 2008 5:54 am) Look up the trade in value of your vibe in kbb.com. Try to get it for about trade in value to trade-in+1200 or so. Especially with car sales probably not great. Look at the grading system for excellent good fair etc. Most hi mileage or older cars will be good-fair.   Edmunds Tmv can be way off sometimes. Even if it is a relatively accurate figure for "what others are paying" one has to remember most people aren't great at buying cars.   good luck --jjf   I am interested in a couple of vibes both have same features. 06 bright red has 18100 miles on it and little over 8 months left on factory warranty.14290 asking price. 07 bright blue 2 tone has 32525 miles on it with 14290 asking price also.

#324 of 399 2009 Vibe 1.8 Base -- Price Paid 11/1 by collegepool Nov 06, 2008 (12:13 pm)
I'm the happy owner of a 1.8 L base Vibe with the 5 speed manual transmission with Preferred Package (power locks, windows, cruise). Couldn't be happier, it's a wonderful car and my first American car (yeah, it's part Toyota, I know.. sticker says 69% American parts, 31% Japanese parts).   Anyway, price paid $15,600, plus destination fee to haul it in from out of state, plus some documentation fees. That's with the $500 discount, by the way. Plus tax tag, etc. Carl Black GM in Roswell, GA will treat you right. Negotiate the car down with them, they worked with me pretty well on it. Got the car I wanted for the price I wanted. Fantastic car, we really love it. Replies to this message: maxx4me (Nov 06, 2008 1:01 pm)

Replying to: collegepool (Nov 06, 2008 12:13 pm) Well, know this: it is 99% Toyota. I believe the radio is GM just like the first version. Rest assured, your car is all Corolla. The objectives are to keep Americans employed and buy smart. You have accomplished both. I've got a 2009 "Corolla-Vibe" automatic and a 2003 "Corolla-Vibe". The '09 is a far superior car. I only wish they didn't skimp on things such as radio buttons on the wheel.

#327 of 399 bought 2009 AWD vibe by soonercat Dec 18, 2008 (9:02 am)
I had little intention of buying a Vibe AWD last Saturday but did so. We need a good run about with some foul weather capability. I saw in the paper this 2009 AWD vibe with 2.4. Listed by Pontiac dealer as Con package, security system, tint and GM "executive car" with 5k miles. I was worried some rental crap. No, it was a real deal gently used car. You can always tell. No previous owner. On car fax I will be the first owner as GM owned it until I bought it. The economy must really be hurting as they advertise $14,950 in the paper for it. I looked up sticker and that was $$22,500 with con package and security. Oddly the $1,000 conv package was free on early build Vibes so the dealer thought the sticker was $20,800. I offered $14,500 and all he would do is $14950 and free tint. No doc fee. Overall great car. XM still activated with no end in sight--maybe lost in the GM maze of accounts? We had ice 3 days this week and AWD was worth the lower MPG. Thoughts
#328 of 399 Got an offer by hulkedup Jan 18, 2009 (9:06 am)
I went in after work to test drive a Vibe. I took out a red one, 1.8 liter, 5 speed with air conditioning as the only option. The dealer gave me this offer:   $15,999, plus a "documentation charge" of $303 = $16,302 There is a $500 rebate on the car, which I'm assuming the dealer gets. I need to check.   I bought the Fighting Chance package and used it to figure out the price the dealer paid for the car:   Invoice price: $16,051 (includes options) Holdback (3%): $481.53 Rebate: $500 Cost to Dealer: $15,069.47 Destination Charge: $635 Minimum Offer to Dealer: $15,704.47   So the dealer's offer of $16,302 represents a profit to them of $597.53 or about 4%   Not bad, but I'm not sure I could live without remote entry (I have a baby on the way) or cruise control.   Any other offers out there?

Replying to: hulkedup (Jan 18, 2009 9:06 am) I just bought a Silver 09 Vibe with manual transmission+AC+Preferred package in San Leandro, CA for $15600 after rebate but before tax and fees (OTD total was ~$17200). There was also an automatic model with same options for $200 less (!), but it was white in color which I didn't like. So you can probably do better than your current quote. BTW, there are currently two $500 rebates for a total of $1000 and the dealer does not need to get any of them .
#330 of 399 by Dondoh Feb 19, 2009 (9:10 pm)
I've seen several people here saying that they got more than 1k off by using GM card points. I thought you could only do up to 1k on the Vibe. What am I missing? Replies to this message: use1time (Feb 20, 2009 2:39 am) Dondoh (Feb 20, 2009 5:33 am)
