Thanks! I'm loving it so far, though a few things have cropped up.The left side of the back light on the radio went out (or I just noticed it was out) and the dealership ordered a new one under warranty. No clue if that's common.. maybe I should look into an after market radio... The cladding on the...

I've been eyeing the Vibe since 2004 (when this account was created). It's practically my dream car. Stylish, reliable, modern, efficient with comfortable seating and a high view. Before, I could never manage to afford a new car, and my insurance company originally classified it as a sports vehicle,...

Thanks.He looks like a Russian Blue I used to own... Oh well, he's still cool looking.

DarkCancerian

I would vote the Nova, #4.

DarkCancerian

I love Russian Blue cats. Nice pics, do you mind if I save the one with the Christmas hat?

DarkCancerian

Dark = a nickname I was given because I'm usually reserved and quiet in person, a "dark" personality. Cancerian = My zodiac sign.I also use DemonSage and Frost (because I'm usually a very cold-skinned person).

DarkCancerian

Hey, thanks everyone. Other than being really really sore, I'm fine. I hope the car can be repaired, but I'm supposed to find that out Monday. My guardian said she would have been angry if I had been hurt, but otherwise, "it's just a car."Yeah, it was about $700 a month. They said it was a...

DarkCancerian

Well, it looks like my new Vibe will have to wait.I was in a car accident yesterday. Typically, I drive an '87 Mercury Grand Marquis, but with all its problems, it can't possibly get me to work and back everyday. I work at the Nintendo Distribution Center at North Bend, WA. It's about 35 miles away....

DarkCancerian

I only saved 1263 my third time. First time I just watched the game. Second time, I lost all humans. That's a lot of clicking, I quit... lol

DarkCancerian

I stay with the quote that perfectly explains the Vibe, "Toyota Quality, American Style."

DarkCancerian

Haha... Good post.Isn't it Halloween...? I don't think there's an o after the h..

DarkCancerian

Yeah, I was thinking about ways to have my name on there differently too...Actually, my dad lives all the way across the country and doesn't care. He has bad credit, knows it, and will not get involved with anything that has to do with credit. Not good for me. Oh, and it also has me on record as bei...

DarkCancerian

It was as expected, my dads is mixed with mine.I have no positive stuff on my report, but things usually done only by name and not by SSN, like Judgements and certain collections, are on my credit report. Apparently, I also have a mortgage, lol. I'm now disputing them... They don't have my birthdate...

DarkCancerian

Hm... So I need to try and go lower? My inexperience is certainly showing then - I always assumed people typically bought at MSRP.

DarkCancerian

It certainly isn't because I have no credit. The credit union said I had "very very bad credit" (quoting the rep), because they give people with no credit and even bad credit checking accounts all the time. The rep said it was very uncommon to come across someone with credit so bad that th...

DarkCancerian

I can't believe it, I just got denied a checking account at my local credit union (I already have a savings account there). I tried to get one because my new employer, Nintendo, would like to do direct deposits. Apparently, my credit is so very bad, I couldn't even qualify for a checking account!Wel...

DarkCancerian

Back when I had to take Drivers Education classes, the vehicles we had were two Ford Taurus' and one Pontiac Grand Am. The class lasted about a month, and each time we took a Taurus, it had to be taken back within two days for fixing. The Grand Am worked perfectly, all the way to the end. We kept tr...

DarkCancerian

That's what I do... Chiropractors are awesome. They usually don't give you pain relievers, all the ones I have met tell me pain is the message, not the problem, and they're after fixing the problem. The only time I've heard of them offering pain relievers is for extreme pain.

DarkCancerian

Yes, sir, I'll do that. Thank you, I have the disadvantage of inexperience here, so I'm trying to make up for it by asking plenty of questions. I didn't think of those.Err, would I ask these directly before ordering?

DarkCancerian

All right, I'm going to try and order early in November, granted a few things go as planned. If it goes right, it should arrive in December, but as long as it's within the certificate time period, I'm not worried. Factory ordering leaves me at the mercy of whatever incentives are available anyway.He...

DarkCancerian

Hm. All right, I guess it's a worthy investment then...Thanks. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't bother... They're ignored anyway. The theft-deterrent steering column lock is probably more effective anyway...

DarkCancerian

I don't see the Vibe on there. Looking through the site linked at the bottom of the article, the Vibe has better than average theft rates.As long as it's not there, I'm happy. ^_^Do insurance companies give discounts for car alarms?

DarkCancerian

Anyone have ABS and StabiliTrak? They don't present any problems, right? I know the Vibe is relatively new, and that it takes a while to work out bugs, but I've always been told that the more complicated your options, the more risk you run of having some problems...

DarkCancerian

Nifty. If I was here earlier, I'd have offered a room off of my chat server.

DarkCancerian

Thanks michaelgt! He just gave me an offer of $500 over invoice, less GM incentives. I asked him what kind of discount I could get with the certificate, but he needs to know what type of certificate it is, what it's called. I told him "GM in the Driveway" and he said that didn't sound fami...

DarkCancerian

I got an answer from the dealer, which is pretty sound to me..."First, when special ordering a vehicle from GM, you are at the mercy of whatever incentives are available at the time the vin# is generated, or when the vehicle is delivered. Your down payment would be used as a deposit."The p...

DarkCancerian

Thanks michaelgt! That was the exact thing I was wondering about.Anyway, I'm curious - if I do a factory order, am I able to take advantage of current incentives, or am I stuck with whatever incentives are available at the time of arrival? Would making a down payment affect this? I emailed a dealers...

DarkCancerian

That's an interesting one... I think of it as a compact sport wagon.

DarkCancerian

That's a possibility. If that is the case, I can try to get one within that time period. Don't they run good deals at the end of the year anyway? Hmm... All right, I think I'll aim for one by the end of the year then. You couldn't tell me how substantial the discount is from the err... "certifi...

DarkCancerian

You can take the rebate and finance elsewhere? Then again, it looks like it's more advantageous to go for 0.0% if I can. This can get confusing...I emailed Pontiac about the two-tone, and they said two-tone development begins in November. Yay! Well, yay if I end up getting a new one. I guess it all ...

DarkCancerian

Well, it would still be all right if they don't expire until after January.Being 18 and in college, money is definitely tight for me, so if anyone can spare one of their certificates, I'd be very grateful. I hope I'm not sounding uptight or anything...

DarkCancerian

I can try, but I don't know if I can wait that long. I don't even own the car yet, and I've fallen in love with it. It won't be long before I go looking for a test drive. It's hard enough waiting until January, but I heard that the more you have to put down, the better deal you'll get.I do have a qu...

DarkCancerian

Thanks for the tip, kostby.I'll probably be waiting until January either way it goes. If nothing else, just to save as much as I can for a down payment.I actually like the '05 better... It looks like many others do not agree, but if I find out a good deal on a used '04, I'll go for it.

DarkCancerian

Do these certificates have a time limit? I don't intend to buy a Vibe until January of '05 (I think I saw a post saying these only apply unitl December), but if I could use a certificate and someone is willing to give me one, I'd be very grateful.

DarkCancerian

I was thinking Base. I'm trying to keep it as affordable as possible. I was considering AWD, but I do not believe I'll really need it. I will go for the StabiliTrak though. I do hope they have two-tone by then, but I guess it wouldn't be too much of a biggie.I'd probably prefer red-white, but since ...

DarkCancerian

Ohh, nifty. Curious, do you know why they delayed two-tone? I hope it really does come back as an option by that time...I just read in another thread that the panels do not light up red in the '05. What colour are they? All pics show them red or reddish-orange.Thanks for the welcome! There's a wealt...

Hi!I'm new to GenVibe. I've been lurking around GenVibe for a couple of months. Since then, my family says I'm obsessing over it. They say I tend to obsessive over certain things. I think it creates loyalty. A little about me... I'm 18, graduated high school earlier this year, I attend ITT Tech at S...
