Another dealership (Jerry's)here in Baltimore is alleging that this dealership (Fox)that gave me that quote did not mention the freight charge. Jerry's is alleging that Fox is trying to sell me a vehicle that belongs to Jerry's. The Sales Manager at Jerry's wants me to get the vin number so he can see if Fox is trying to sell me "his" vehicle.
  
Ack - I just want to buy a car. What's with the drama?

 
That's between the 2 dealers, and not your problem.
 
I wouldn't give it any more thought...
 
Simply stated...buy the car from the dealer you feel the best about and also gives you the best price.

All this between dealers I'd say ignore,too.....See what incentives GM is offering on the Aveo...On that,you can expect the dealer to offer a discount,too...that's why I thought $1,400 is good,but not great....
 
Start with finding out here at Edmunds how much odff GM is offering...

Have you tried looking at Fitzmall? They have some good prices and know they have a location in Gaithersburg MD.

I purchased my 07 LT off the showroom floor April 07. sticker was 15,138 and i drove out at 13,008 all inclusive. (tax, tiltle, all fees, etc,) so was very well pleased. It has given me 50K of miles with no problems. Not even tires. Everything is all original, I just drive the heck out of the little car and I am not easy. Interstate driving is 70-80 mpg with ease.

Sounds like a good commuter car. But with 75 mpg highway you are screwing up on your math or need to get that car to lawerence livermore for examination, especially with an auto trans.
 
Good luck

I'm betting he meant 70-80 mph...

Got a great deal on an Aveo....twice! by VwEnthusiast

I just purchased my second Chevy Aveo 5-door SVM from Mike Anderson Chevrolet in Merrillville, IN. They advertise the car for $9,890 and minus our $3,000 in GM Card savings + TTL, we paid $7,800 in the end. It has the auxilary jack for the iPod and it's sport red (which is our favorite color). The first Aveo we bought, we got incredibly lucky and bought it for $6,000 with only $500 in GM card money. Some crazy Chicago dealer was advertising the basic Aveo for $6,000, of course when we went there they said it was sold and all this other nonsense. Once they heard we were going to sue them, they caved but by this time we found Mike Anderson who agreed to match the Chicago price.
 
We absolutely love both of our Aveos. The first one has over 82k on it and has never been in the shop for more than a day (only for wear and tear items like brakes). It is such a good car, it averages 35 mpg if we drive it nice and not like a race car driver. We get so many compliments on them especially our new 2009 Sport Red Aveo which is just stunning. Our family has never bought two of the same car so it is such a first to do this. We plan on buying another Aveo next year with $4,000 in GM card money.
 
Compared to the Yaris, Fit, Scion, and other comparable cars, this is such a better deal. Why pay $15-20k for those cars when the Aveo is so much better. I would not recommend anyone buying the overpriced Aveos that top off at $18k, spend that money elsewhere like on a full size sedan. The basic Aveos are great for city driving and just using them when you need to run errands. I highly recommend this car to anyone who wants something that is fun, affordable, and reliable.

Magazine and on-line reviewers generally give lower marks to the Aveo than to the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, etc., but I think the same thing is going on here that is going on with quality ratings: the differences are real, but they are such a small order of magnitude compared with 10 or 20 years ago that they are no longer meaningful. I keep looking at the Aveo and keep wondering what's not to like - the quality of materials and construction, to my rather picky eye, matches the imports.
 
It's good to hear your early Aveo ( I assume earlier since you have 82k in miles on it already) has held up. That's what readers like me want to hear.
 
So I do have a couple of questions for you. The 2009 Aveo hatchback is greatly revised, with supposedly more or smarter soundproofing, and a new engine. Can you tell any differences compared to your first one?

In response to your message, my family and I definitely noticed the difference between the two Aveos. The 2009 (although it has a "new" engine, it has Dual Continuous Variable Cam Phasing which makes the engine appear faster or more efficient when in reality I believe it has the exact same horsepower as the older one or maybe one more horsepower like 106 hp for the 2004 and 107 hp for the 2009) is really quiet and appears to have a much better fit and finish both inside and out. We like the interior of the new 2009 one so much more because it is more polished, uses chrome pieces as accents, and has a nicer dash display. The soundproofing is definitely there in the 2009 and you can barely hear if the car is on compared with the 2004.
 
After putting 420 miles on the new 2009 Aveo, I would highly recommend it because it looks a lot sharper than the old one with the new front end and redesigned tail lights, it is way more advanced (ours is a manual transmission and it even tells you when to upshift, which is kind of unneccessary but neat at the same time), and it just feels like a better quality car. We all fight each other to drive the new Aveo and we are even considering buying another 2009 or 2010 one if the price is right!
