GM is really, really, really trying to get my business. (well, not me personally, but anybody with a GM credit card and a '99 or newer GM model in the family) Got a flyer in the mail today from GM. They are "topping off" my GM Flexible Card earnings from the current balance of just under $500 to $2000. And, because I have a new GM car in the family (3, actually), I qualify for a loyalty bonus of between $1000 and $3000. All of this is in addition to the current incentives - cash back or low finance rates. Offer expires in early February. On the Pontiac Vibe, that would mean $2000 (card) + $1000 (loyalty) + $500 (rebate) = $3500 off of a $20K car. And, it's not really a Pontiac, it's a Toyota in disguise!. A Vibe GT with an MSRP of $22,270 (base GT plus sunroof and rear cargo cover) has a TMV price of under $18K. Subtract another $4-5K for my trade and we talking under $14K. Mentioned to my wife -- perhaps I can get her to go to the local dealer (Chevy - Buick - Pontiac - GMC - Hummer) over the weekend - just to look.

Picked this up for my oldest today in the new Artic Blue color, the same light blue color on the Honda Fit...outstanding color. Car has ABS and the CVT transmission which feels shiftless...very cool. Got the $750 Nissan rebate and the $500 College Grad rebate also so the price was very good. The kid's extremely happy and took her "baby" out to see friends a short while ago. Made the wife and the girls all very happy with our car buying experiences so all is well in Casa Sandman and we're done for a couple of years now. All pleasant buying processes. The Sandman

| My local Pontiac has a few used 2008 GTs- all priced under $24K. Tempting, even if it does come with an automatic. | |

| I found a dealer with a few 09 Camry SE models with a 5-speed manual. Comes with fog lights, alloys, and sunroof for around $19,000. Very tempting. I know I shouldn't buy a new car right now but I love the outside of the new Camry. Have to find a manual to see if I like the feel of the stick. | |

Replying to: roadburner (Jan 10, 2009 8:52 am) Ooh that is tempting. Sorta makes me wish my 2000 Intrepid had a catastrophic failure looming in the near future.  Just for kicks I searched on www.autobytel.com, and found three 2008 G8 GTs within 50 miles of me. Mileage in the 11-15K range, and pricing from around $21-22K. Heck, my Intrepid's out-the-door price was more than that 9 years ago...and a G8 is a heckuva lot more car for the money!
