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.

24 Hour Test Drive Coupon by map013

I keep reading about people using a $1000 coupon for a 24 Hour test drive. Do you guys take the test drive first and then does GM send you the coupon? Or how does one get a 24 hour test drive coupon worth $1000?

I did not take the 24 hour test drive.
I'm not sure how I got it.
I would think...
Either because I have GM card.
I requested brochures.
Or responded once to their surveys saying I was going to buy a car within X number of months.
Also a previous GM owner.

A little research at Edmunds made the deal painless... by protegextwo

I purchased a new Vibe for my wife, yesterday. We tried the Mazda3 Hatchback. Sharp looking wagon, excellent handling and tasteful interior styling! However, the 3 felt too confining, didn't have the mini-van like driving position she prefers and I've never been crazy about buying any car in it's first year of production.
 
Also, checked out the Subie Forester. The sales staff was too busy joking around to pay much attention to us? We were dressed well and ready to make a decision fairly quickly. Hey their loss? Nonetheless, my wife doesn't need to drive in bad weather, so the Subie's AWD was not a huge deciding factor. If the truth be known, the inflated Subaru Forester MSRP and the lack of shoulder to shoulder interior room in a $25,500 tall wagon was a deal killer, anyway.
 
The Vibe's good looks, commanding seating position, versatility, price point, Toyota engine & drive train quality and 29 city / 34 highway mpg (gas costs $1.86 per gallon today in Lancaster, PA.) sealed the deal.
 
2004 Pontiac Vibe
1.8L DOHC 4-cyl Engine
Auto Transmission
Frosty (White)- Premium Monotone Appearance Pkg.
Moon and Toon-(Sunroof & 200 Watt Premium Audio System Upgrade)
Power Group
17" inch Alloy wheels
Antilock brakes
 
Total MSRP with Destination: $21,265
less Rebates -$2,500
less Negotiated Discount -$1,055
-------------------------------------
Cash Price of Vehicle: $17,710
 
Less my trade -$4,700
 
Unpaid Balance price of Vehicle: $13,010
 
Walked into my home town Pontiac dealership with a Capital One Draft Check with a financing rate of 3.85% and a GM Buy Power Quote of 1% over invoice from another nearby Pontiac Dealer. I offered our Lancaster, PA. Pontiac Dealer (Jones Pontiac-Buick-GMC) 1% over invoice for our new 2004 Vibe and that price was accepted without haggle. The Jones finance manager beat the 3.85% Capital One rate with local bank financing at 3.49%. Very easy! No pressure or hard sell tactics. The sales, service and finance staff was excellent and easy to work with. The Vibe with 17" inch alloy wheels in white Premium Monotone Appearance Pkg. looks awesome. After, about 100 miles of driving, my spouse is hooked on the Vibe. The Vibe/Matrix tall wagon should serve her well for the next 48 months.
 
Respectfully,
Larry

I was given a price of invoice of $20,024 with moons and tunes, Power package, XM satellite radio, monotone appearance pkg. 4 wheel antilock brakes, automatic with 17" wheels. I can get $3,000 off of this price with $2,000 GM rebate and $1,000 rebate for current non-gm car owner. Plus I think I have an additional $300 or so credit on my GM card. I'm thinking getting this at invoice is probably a great deal. Don't necessarily need all the add-ons but do like the features. Debating biting the bullet as I'm getting tired of looking.
 
Could I do better or should I just go for it? This deal lasts until the end of June. What are everyones thoughts.

well, as you can tell from my name, I'd recommend the Maxx over the Vibe. I currenlty own an '03 Vibe AWD and love it except for the crappy paint. With current rebates, and all the things that come inside it, I think the Maxx is a much better value at that price. At $20k, I hope you are talking an AWD model of the Vibe; otherwise, it sounds too high to me.

My wife and I drove out of the dealership last night in a 2004 Vibe. Here are the numbers:
 
MSRP: $20155 for base Vibe with moon and tunes, power package, 16" aluminum wheels and automatic transmission.
Edmunds TMV for this car: $19183
 
Salesman offered a price of $17920 for the demonstrator (last 2004 on the lot) with 5555 miles on it.
-$2000 GM Customer Cash
-$1000 Conquest (replacing my '90 Accord w/ 182000 miles on it but not trading it in)
-$1000 GM Card
+7% OH sales tax
+$50 document fee
 
$15227
 
My wife decided after a week with only one car(my Accord is pretty much done) that we just needed to get something new. Well, we got our first new car!
 
Let me know how we did.
