And how about having the horn honk in addition to the lights blinking when you lock the doors with the remote! Isn't that pretty standard on most all 21st Century manufactured cars/trucks?

Honk if you love remote keylocks by smokiescat

I believe the honk feature with keyless locking can be turned off. My Vibe has never honked when I lock remotely. While the sound is a good reminder that you have your key on the outside of the locked vehicle, it also tells passersby that you are leaving a vehicle unattended.

A mechanic at the Pontiac dealership told me that the honk feature is not available. I have looked for info in the owners manual, and find nothing.

"You must have the "original GM Card" as only $1000.00 allowed on the newer cards."
 
Yeah, it's the original one. We've been charging on it since my last GM 10 years ago...
 
Too bad GM capped it, it's not like they're losing out, just rebating some of the merchant credit card fees, and it helps give GM some exposure when buyers are looking for new cars.
 
"Do you know if the sales tax is calculated based on the original negotiated price and before deducting Conquest and GM card rebates or after?"
 
Hey ragu123, sorry for the delayed reply, had been out of town for a little bit. Saw you already bought your Vibe, but here's the info anyway. As you probably figured out, the tax was based on the negotiated price before any rebates.
 
"I think your state (CA) is the only state that has a fixed Doc/Processing fee"
 
As much as I gripe about California being over-regulated, this was nice. I was glad I didn't have to negotiate every little fee.
 
"ZZ... I owe you man. If you're ever out my way, the beer & lengendary Brentwood sweet corn are on me."
 
Thanks bikerscum. Though I have a buddy who lives out in Concord, with gas prices as high as they are, doubt I'll get a chance to come out to Concord/Brentwood soon! Just glad to be able to help out.
 
Glad you like yours. Just took mine down to Las Vegas and back, pretty comfortable ride considering the heat (90+). I'm already due for the 3000 mile oil change... guess I really like driving it. Unfortunately I already got a crack on the windsheld... thanks to our wonderful bay area highways. Grrr...
 
Yeah, a DVD capable MP3 player would be even better, but I guess that's too much to ask for a $20k car. Agreed with you on the dash, I guess they are trying to make it stylish with the curving dash-line, but it sure makes it tough for GPS/radar detector mounting. I used a little silicon 'grip-pad' (they have them at auto parts stores) to rest my GPS on.
 
I know how you feel, I haven't been this happy with a purchase in a while.

- Check that 3000 mile number. The manual for my '08 Vibe says 5000 miles.

I agree with you that the oil change should come every 3K. It's just a little assurance thing to keep one from being sorry later, you might say.
 
I only have 400 miles on my 09 AWD 2.4--

I could be mistaken, but I seem to recall the very first oil change should be around 3000 due to engine break-in.
 
I usually do the normal oil-change at 5000-7000, since I do mostly highway miles.

Thank heavens for that! I find it very annoying when someone locks their car and the horn honks.

The honking can be slightly startling, but it has a value for reassurance of locking, and also in locating the car. In addition, some game-playing for amusement...

Annoying. Rude. Crude. Uncivil. Should be outlawed.
