#37 of 320 Vibe in MI by steine13 Nov 01, 2003 (10:42 am)
Wife ran into a deer on the freeway; she's ok, van in the shop at least 4 weeks. So I went out and bought a Vibe in 30 minutes: Base 5sp, silver, monotone, pwr pack. Told the saleslady exactly what pickle I was in and that I had a GM Card with some money on it. She used a program that I'd never heard of: "In The Driveway", which gives non-eligible consumers the "supplier" discount. Still let me use the Card. Price was invoice or less: Sticker $18,120 paid $17,085. No DOC fee, either. $1,500 rebate. $2,600 GM Card rebate -> $14k out-the-door. Great little car, great price, great sales experience. No haggling, no stress, never even met Mr. F&I. I'm sure last of the month helped. -Mathias "real men drive stick"
#38 of 320 my new Vibe by 3c3 Nov 12, 2003 (1:28 pm)
Just bought my 2004 Vibe: base, automatic, power pkg, ABS, protection pkg, cargo box, cargo net. $19,154 + tax and fees, before discounts. I could have paid less with another dealer, but this was the ONLY car in the SF bay area that I could find, with the exact options and color (white two-tone) that I wanted, so I went for it.   Discounts: $2000 standard factory, $250 additional factory for CA, $1000 standard GM card (from 0% balance transfer checks), $500 bonus GM card.

Local dealer did a trade with another dealer 50 miles away to get exactly what I want plus 6 CD changer. At the time I thought it was a waste of money, but I am starting to really like the CD changer now.   Got my 2004 Vibe base with automatic, monotone, power package, 6 CD changer, ABS, protection pkg.   MSRP 20370 Discounts: $1272 discount for "GM in the Driveway" certificate, $2000 factory rebate, $250 rebate for CA car tax hike, $3788 GM card, $400 recent graduate rebate. Total discount $7710 Out the door = $14300   Also the dealer I bought from (Nabers in Costa Mesa, CA) includes oil change every 3000 miles and unlimited car wash for free as long as I own the vehicle. And I plan to keep this car at least 10 years.   If anybody wants a "GM in the Driveway" certificate, which gives you fixed Supplier pricing (employee + 4%), go to Genvibe.com and do a search under "GM in the Driveway". There are a couple of GM employess handing them out, which is how I go it.

Did you finance through GMAC in order to get the $400 grad cash?
#42 of 320 carbonni by pontiacvibe Nov 21, 2003 (10:57 am)
Yes, I did have to finance through GMAC to get the $400 grad cash. Since I took the cash rebate GMAC gave interest rate of 7.99%. The lowest they offer was 5.99% but I had very high credit card debt (0% balance transfer deals). But, it's not a big deal, since I will pay it off with my home equity line of credit loan at 3.25% (before tax write offs). The finance manager told me I have to keep the loan at least 3 months to avoid early payment penalties, so I will pay all of the balance minus 2 payments the first month. Then I will pay two regular payments to payoff the loan. After all is said and done, I would have paid $41 extra in interest rate to get $400 cash.
#43 of 320 Never thought I'd say this... by richyoung Nov 21, 2003 (2:12 pm)
... but had a GREAT experience with a car dealership. Just bought my '03 Vibe AWD for $13,500. It was lightly used at 6400 miles. In fact, it is the white Vibe that is pictured on the Edmunds site for $13,995. They gave me $500 for my 92 Olds 98 Regency with 126,600. First thing I asked was "With this price, what's wrong with it?" - Nothing - CERTIFIED and all. Dealer told me that they work differently with internet buyers - supposedly we have done our homework. Be that as it may... in at 7 out by 9. Great financing and service to boot. Name of the dealership - Gillespie Pontiac in Chicago. Oh yeah...I LOVE my Vibe! Peace.

Great price for AWD. What options did it have?
#45 of 320 pontiacvibe by carbonni Nov 21, 2003 (7:38 pm)
Nice financial arrangement! It looks like a great deal to me.
#46 of 320 pontiacvibe by richyoung Nov 22, 2003 (12:13 pm)
It has the automatic package...basic but necessary! Really wanted AWD (Chicago can get nasty one or two days out of the year!), so when I saw that, I was really pleased. Doesn't have the MOON and TUNES, but never got into moonroofs. Has the carpet in the back (that an option or standard?). Guess I could have tried to deal - but why tempt the Fates? Overall, a solid car and deal even without all the bells and whistles, don't you think? Besides, I only walked in with the car and nothing down. They even worked with me there - got the extended warranty. Since it was titled out, couldn't get all the cool deals, but at 6400 miles, I ain't complainin'!
