Autoblog reports that tomorrow GM will announce "EMPLOYEE PRICING" until Sept.2nd. All makes and models ( probably not Corvette)...I really don't know, but I do know that Pontiac Vibe is included. What I don't know is whether or not you still get the $500.00 rebate and "can you also u...

I have $2500.00 GM points but the dealer will only accept $1000.00 GM points. Different GM credit cards have different limits, I guess.

nortsr

If it is too good to be true....It is too good to be true!!!!!

nortsr

You are correct, I mistook the torrent to replace the Vue, not the Equinox. My mistake.

nortsr

That V6 engine is the 250hp Honda engine.

nortsr

I noticewd you purchased at Lane Pontiac in Melbourne. Did you purchase at "invoice" plus get the rebates???

nortsr

ThAT DEFINITLY SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS BEING USED AS A "DEMO". 800 miles is "NOT" a common "NEW" car mileage. Did yo buy your Vibe at the Pontiac dealer near the Health First Holmes medical center??? I live in Melbourne Beach.

I take a size 14. I took a size 12 when i was 12 years old in 6th grade.Of course I was 6'2" when I was 12.

nortsr

or else he had a quota to meet for an incentve bonus from GM or was using the holdback $.

nortsr

You are absolutely correct about that. Sooner or later a better "deal" will come along and I intend to get a Vibe at the "best" time.

nortsr

When I priced both of them out, it was with "identical packs or accessories. Both were the same with content.

nortsr

I just priced out a base Vibe FWD,, auto., sport pack and preferred pack with rear bumper protector and it came to $20,245.00 MSRP...Invoice was $18,938.00. The GM red tag price was $19,189.00 (now remember, no more $500.00 rebate but I believe the $500.00 conquest is still available to those with a...

nortsr

I just came from the GM regional incentive map and punched in N/E and also S/E and the updated 2006 board shows $O (zero) for the Vibe. They must have removed the 500.00 incentive 0n 11/14 as shown as the latest posted map.

nortsr

What is the pricing formula for the GMID certificates that you receive from a GM employee. Is that the same as the GMS that you posted???or is it the same as te RED TAG pricing??

Jake 75....I agree that the rebate is still there on their website. Please go to Edmundsforums.com....click onto the Smart Shopper Forum and then click on to the Rebates, Incentives topic and go to post#3423.

The one problem I have with this whole damn fiasco is "He signed a seven year contract "Last Year" and now he feels he needs a new contract.(for the good of his family). Give me a break. He talked himself OFF the TEAM and that's where he should stay...OFF THE TEAM!!!!

nortsr

I just priced out a base 2006 Vibe with the power package, sport package and the automatic transmission. MSRP came to $20,195.00. The same configuration came to $18,742.00 Invoice. I then went to the GM site, priced out the same configuration and then clicked on the "RED TAG" price and it ...

nortsr

You lost me about the GMS price. I always thought that the GMID price and the GMS price were the SAME and that GM employee pricing was "Less" than GMS and GMID pricing. I recently read that the new GMS price (red tag) offer is apporox. 2% less than invoice. and today I read that the EXACt ...

nortsr

To my knowledge, there is NO increase in premiums for glass breakage.

nortsr

Monday, Nov.14th. ALL 2006 and 2005 GM vehicles will be "red tagged" at GMS (General Motors Supplier Pricing) plus $100.00. The rebates can still be used with this new pricing plan and will continue until Jan.3rd, 2006. Check out today's http://www.autoblog.com . When I say "all"...

nortsr

Yes, The new GMS pricing plus $100.00 starts Monday and runs thru to Jan.3rd, 2006. Check out http://www.autoblog.com

I live in Melbourne Beach (about 20 miles North of Vero Beach) Lost a front yard tree and about ten roof shingles. My next door neighbor lost his whole roof ridge vent. I lost electric, cable and water pressure for about twenty hours. Two miles south of me, on A1A, a small tornado took off the roof ...

$2.22.9 in South Jersey. Just paid $2.75.9 in Florida. .53 cents diffence in two days of travel.

to be having the most trouble. I keep reading about "replacing the radio under warranty or whatever. Is it the base "one "CD" radio or the "6CD" radio?

nortsr

"the visors are too short for me" Why not purchase a visor add-on like thet sell at PepBoys, Auto Zone, Walmart...It is a one of those clip-on sun visor types???

nortsr

It just does not make sense to me....If the Matrix has this problem and has a solution for the problem....Isn't it the same damn ignition and motor in the Vibe....and then....Why would it not also be a solution for the Vibe. I would print out the Matrix TSB that you see on this board and take it to ...

Great pictures and directions. Thanks and this should be inserted in the "How to files" if we have a site for same.

I live in Melbourne Beach, Florida. (lots of bugs). Used to have the same deal you had (someone getting about 35/month). Finally wised up, went to Home Depot (or Lowes) and paid about ten bucks for a gallon of their bug spray. I do around the baseboards, under all the sinks (anwhere that ther are wa...

nortsr

Was it much of a job to "mask oof" the area. I notice that the area behind the grille has no "spray" on it. Did you just put cardboard or whatever behind it???

nortsr

I get AutoWeek, Motor Trend, Automobile, Consumers Report, andConsumersGuide; howevr, I find that it is a lot easier to go to "Google' type in "Pontiac Vibe reviews" and get the info on the net. Check ot "Detroit Auto News on the net, autoweb.com (good reviews), DetroitFreePress....

nortsr

Wow, another follow-up to my follow-up. I just received word from CarMan at the Edmunds forum thet GM has "REDUCED the $1000.00 Conquest incentive to $500.00. Evidently due to the fact of the demand for smaller, good gas mileage Vibes. What a bummer.

nortsr

That might be true; however, if that "BUG' has been on there for a long period of time, it will still damage your paint...WD40 or No WD40.The best scenario is to keep the car waxed and clean those "buggers" off as soon as possible. That goes for bird "poopers' as well.

nortsr

Follow-up to my follow-up. The Conquest $1000.00 incentive "is available for the 2006 model Vibe along with the $500.00 rebate.

nortsr

I was toild by a tire man several years ago that the aerosol tire repair can does shoot some sort of gunk into the tire which helps seal the whatever and of course fills the tire with air; however, he said that the "gunky" stuff can then cause your tire to really be 'out of balance". ...

nortsr

Well, the one consolation out of all of this is the fact that he has a "great service advisor" that found other things that he didn't even know about.I wish thay were all that observant and reliable.

nortsr

Some storage areas even have "climate cotrolled space" which is great as it keeps the "humidity and temperature" at a certain level. I know a lot of the "Classic" cars are stored or kept this way. I know, I know, the Vibe isn't a classic...but we do like to think of it ...

nortsr

Follow-up to my post. The $1000.00 Conquest incentive is not being offered for the 2006 model (YET!) but still in effect for the 2005 model.

nortsr

Thanks CougarVibe, i forgot about the 1000.00 Conquest incentive for the 2005's. I qualify for that, also, (besides the $1500.00 in hidden monies. See my previous post about that one.

nortsr

I posted the question of "Now that the 2006 Vibe is out with a $500.00 rebate already in place, and the 2005's have NO rebates or incentives, is there a Mfg.to Dealer hidden incentive?". Answer was that GM is givinga "MFG. to Dealer" $1500.00 "hidden" incentive to get r...

Doesn't the manual show how to Rotate the tires? Usually it will cover both FWD and AWD????

The previous owner evidently did not wash the car frequently. I live in Florida (home of the famous love bugs) and they are a natural disaster to auto paint unless washed off before they "bake" onto the paint from the heat and Florida sun. I strongly suggest you get a good coat of wax on t...

nortsr

Glad we could help. This GenVibe club is awesome!!!!!!

nortsr

I guess that as long as the weather is "warm" and you can "stretch" the vinyl to the snaps, it should be AOK. Colder weather might be a bit of a hassle; however, I still think you did a great job and the pictures were also GREAT.
