| Nice financial arrangement! It looks like a great deal to me. | |
| 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'! | |

Something funny happened over the weekend. Got a call from finance manager that she got a lower rate for me 6.49% vs original 7.99%. I told her it wasn't worth the trouble for me to go back to dealer to sign new paperwork since I am paying it off in one month. Then she confessed and told me the bank (GMAC) wouldn't accept the original 7.99% and I had to come in and sign for the new lower rate. Seems like they paded too much on the interest rate. I know that dealers pad the interest rate and take the profit all the time. But because I was getting $400 recent graduate rebate, they couldn't go to their regular bank and had to go to GMAC (GMAC is giving the rebate). I didn't deal for lower interest rate since I am paying it off in one month. So I went and drove 22 miles round trip to get the lower rate and save about $12 in interest. Just thought it was kind of amusing that they actually HAD to give me a lower interest rate. |

| just put a deposit on the 2004 base FWD Vibe with monotone, power & auto packages for my wife. Dealer's offer - $500 under invoice (no haggling or GM certificates needed), which makes MSRP of $19,090 reduced to $17,600 - $2000=$15,600. The car should be here in another week or so, so I'll pay for it then. I don't have GM points so no more rebates - but who cares - it's still cheaper than Matrix, plus my wife likes it better. | |

That is a great price for no haggling. The best I have seen in So Calif was $1000 under MSRP. Congrats! I know it is a personal preference, but I do like the look of Vibe a lot better than Matrix. |

...which has been a nightmare. If the price is set and there is no playing with the numbers, why have I gotten 4 different prices for the exact same car. I even had one dealer threaten, yes threaten me with having my sale audited, my car taken away and banned from the program for life. My best price has actually been without the GM program, but I'm still hoping for some end of the year better rebates. Anyone have thoughts on the Chicago rebates increasing like the south's? Thanks ! |

Just because the price is set dosen't mean the numbers are the same. There has been a price increase on Vibes this fall, and a price increase for the supplier program. Same equipped cars could have a couple hundred dollar difference in the supplier price. Factor in people being unfamilar with the rules or rebates, and more differences could be explainned. With the $500 bonus rebate on the supplier cars, according to GM's web site, it would be surprising if you could buy better without it. |

| Whats the maximum rebate ever offered on the Vibe so far? | |
|
I think it was $3,000 back in December. What's weird is how the Matrix is about the same price as a Vibe after the rebate. |
