After 31 years, the Dealership (Sifford Pontiac) that I bought The Vibe from is no more. I guess it's just another sign of the times. Then again, it had a pretty good run. It out lasted all the other GM Dealerships that were in this area, including a Cadillac, Chevy, Buick and, of course, Oldsmobile. Fortunately, that old Cadillac dealership is now a Toyota dealership, and another Pontiac dealer is about 5 miles away(it also sells Buicks and Chevys). Still, it was nice feeling I a had a Pontiac dealership that I could walk to.

there was a chevy dealer around here that upped and disappeared about a year ago -- beacon chevrolet in east windsor. not sure whether they went under, got bought out, or if they moved.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
Too bad it's not closer to me. I could use a new'er paint booth for where I work. If they had a body shop, that is. There was a dealership around here that went out of buisness and I missed out on getting the paint booth from them.

Yeah, I've owned a few GM cars in my day. The only GM Nameplate that did not cross my driveway was Cadillac & GMC Truck.Here's a somewhat naive question. When a dealership folds what happens to the cars/trucks. Do they go to the highest bidder of the local Pontiac/GMC Truck Dealerships?? It almost seems like they are better off just closing their doors instead of advertising a "Going Out of Business Sale".
