Yes, the 18" wheels are noisy, and much harder riding. Got mine last week, and just got the $500 rebate, not dealing here in NC, either!

I have a 2009 Vibe GT and the factory tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S-C P215/45R18 89W. I really don't find them to be overly noisy. My previous vehicle was a 2005 Vibe AWD and those 16 inch tires were more noisy than on my current vehicle. I feel the 18 inch wheels on the GT are very nice looking and one of the selling points of it. The back-up visibility is very limited and there should be some protection on both sides to protect the vehicle from other car doors, etc...These are minor points and I am very happy with my car (I love the 2.4 engine!).

Marina Pontiac in San Leandro. Ask for Luis. Tell him Jeff (red Vibe GT) sent you and you would like to get his price!
 
Yeah the 18" tires are on the noisy side, however they really give the car a much sportier look (and handling). The price you pay for vanity I guess.
 
ragu123 the price was before any kind of rebates/incentives. I made sure to negotiate pre-rebate/incentive price because some dealers are tricky and quote 'after rebate' prices, thus comparing apples and oranges. If the quotes are that high you may want to check dealers in neighboring states and see if they can send the car to you. One dealer mentioned selling a car online to a buyer in Oregon and shipped it for ~$600.
 
Personally we also got $2900 in rebates ($500 'Conquest' and $2400 GM credit card) so our final out the door cost was $19,682. Not bad! Your mileage will probably vary.

You must have the "original GM Card" as only $1000.00 allowed on the newer cards.

zzsignup,
 
I am also going to be using my GM Card rebate for this purchase. 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? I have a $4000 GM card rebate so how they calculate the sales tax would make a big difference in the OTD price.
 
BTW, I think your state (CA) is the only state that has a fixed Doc/Processing fee so dealers can't hide additional profit in the TT&L dollars. One of the dealers here gave me a really good deal on the Vibe but when I asked for the itemized OTD price, I discovered a $400.00 processing fee.

ZZ... I owe you man. Luis quoted me about $25 below invoice, + the $500 rebate. I guess I could have haggled a bit, but since my negotiations took about 8 seconds I'm happy. lol
 
'09 Vibe GT w/ sunroof & 5sp. auto.... $20425-$500 = $19925.
 
 $1720 below sticker.
 
 If you're ever out my way, the beer & lengendary Brentwood sweet corn are on me.

No trade in. I doubt they'd be high-fiving over my 13 MPG 160000 mile 4wd '00 Durango. I paid 35 large for that thing.... KBB trade in is about $2700. Not the best investment I ever made.
