Re: How many weeks to receive an factory ordered Pontiac Vibe? (tumbleweed)

8 weeks? Must be nice. I ordered mine nearly 20 weeks ago and it still hasn't shown up. Must be waiting for winter so they can deliver Canadian orders by dogsled.

Your dealer should be given a tentative delivery date. I know mine gets an update every Monday morning.

Longer waits in Canada?

I've heard rumors that U.S. Vibe orders are given priority over those from Canada. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Re: Cash rebate now on Vibe (kshields)

I was about to cancel the order but GM assured me it would be built in the week of June 24 and actually told me the truth. Couldn't find another car that suited our needs like the Vibe. Should be delivered by the end of July. Also at 6'3" I am too tall to fit in a lot of the competition!

Anybody know if the rebate applies to Vibes purchased (not leased) in Canada? Mine is on the train from NUMMI right now.

Re: Some answers to the long wait for Vibes.........Maybe. (ngilbert)

Finally some good news. Talked to GM today and they say my Vibe will be built this week before they shut down the factory for 2 weeks. After the trouble I have experienced I won't believe it until the keys are in my hand.

No, I don't really like the look of the Matrix. Not sure what I'll buy but it won't be a GM.

Re: Some answers to the long wait for Vibes.........Maybe. (NSimkins)

In my case cancelling the order won't be a problem, my full deposit will be returned. My dealer has been helpful, it's GM that I have the problem with. I'll let you know what I decide.

Re: Some answers to the long wait for Vibes.........Maybe. (NSimkins)

Spoke with my dealer about this. Apparently the cars are built in blocks with the preferenced ones being built first. Say March is one block and April is another. The preferenced cars in ordered in March would be built before the ones heading to the dealer's lots. But all the cars ordered in the Mar...

Re: Some answers to the long wait for Vibes.........Maybe. (kshields)

My order has been on the preferenced list basically since I ordered it. All it means it that it is supposed to get a build date before orders that aren't pre-sold. I think it's a load of bull. If it was true there shouldn't be any Vibes on dealers lots, they would just be building the preferenced ca...

Spoke to GM again this morning. Now they are giving me the 3rd week of July as a build week. I'm giving myself some time to cool down then will likely call the dealer and cancel the order. I'll buy something just as good from a competitors lot.Here's an update: My dealer called the factory and they ...

I haven't cancelled the order yet. I didn't order anything special on the Vibe just the power and safety packages an auto tranny and a upgraded stereo. I ordered the Shadow color so I didn't bother with the monotone option.I used to be a strong supporter of GM products, I wouldn't be bashing them so...

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!!

Just heard that the build date for my Vibe has been moved from June 17 to July 8. Do not order a Vibe unless you want to wait 20 - 25 weeks for delivery. The only explanation GM has given me so far is that it is "such a great and popular car". I should have known better and bought a Celica...

I just had another talk with GM about the Vibe I ordered on March 8 (told to expect delivery in 9 weeks). My build date has been pushed back from June 17 to July 8.My recommendation: DO NOT BUY A VIBE OR ANY OTHER GM! There are a lot of great vehicles out there that can be bought without waiting 20-...

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!! (Waiting4Vibe)

I spoke with GM after reading your posting. They have actually moved my build date up from June 24 to this week (June 17). I still won't believe it's built until I see it. I have been harassing them constantly for the last month by phone and email. Not sure if that has helped but it's worth a try.Bob

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!! (kshields)

Your best bet for a loaner will be through the dealer, GM doesn't seem to care. We have a second vehicle so at least our holidays are ok. Dealer gave us the option of cancelling the order, tempted to buy a Celica instead but the vibe suits our needs far better. Good luck getting a loaner, it's the l...

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!!

Just heard back from GM Canada that they won't offer any compensation for the ridiculous amount of time they are taking to deliver my Vibe. Have a Jimmy that's due for replacement in a year or so, not sure what I'll buy but it won't be a GM.

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!! (kshields)

GM told me today that I should get my Vibe in about 6 weeks. It was ordered March 8 and has a build date of June 24. This works out to about 20 weeks from order to delivery. I recommend talking to GM directly (phone works better than email) to see if they have a build date for you. In my case GM had...

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!! (ngilbert)

I ordered the Shadow (dark grey) so I decided not to go for the monotone paint option. I ordered a base FWD with the power package, safety package, auto tranny and upgraded stereo. Nothing that should cause any delay. GM is full of BS if they are claiming your delay is due to the monotone paint opti...

Re: 4 MONTHS TO GET A VIBE !!! (vibenorth)

I ordered my Vibe in early March and was told to expect delivery in 9 weeks. I recently got a build date of June 24 (but was told they were running 1.5 weeks behind) so I probably won't see it until early August. I have been phoning GM Canada almost daily for an explanation but they only tell me tha...
