5 years Air Force - engineer and flight test manager for an air-to-ground weapon system. Got out in 1999 as a Capt (O-3). Now work as an engineer at Boeing on another weapon system - I liked the work that much!

You also don't have the center console extension. Your console sits down too low to comfortably rest your elbow on it, right? So does mine! Apparently the older Vibes and all Matrixes (how do you spell the plural of Matrix? ) have an extension that raises up the top lid and also gives you an extra l...

I know what I am missing out on and I am so glad to have found this forum topic! I bought a piece of 3" foam and I was going to try and make a top cover for the console so it would be higher. Now I don't have to - I'll gladly spend the $100 to get the real thing! And more storage to boot.It loo...

From St Peters - just west of St Louis area. Just bought my new 2005 AWD Vibe mid-April.

Great news - got a call from the dealer today, the finance manager is actually the one who called me. He said the dealership was going to eat the $500, that I was correct in my argument that the dealership should have checked the incentives first. He said they would get my paperwork in the mail to m...

Quick update. The GM of the dealership did not call me on Monday as I was told. I finally called him around 4pm. He knew nothing about me or my situation - and he was rude to me on the phone and did not want to hear what I had to say. All he kept saying was "I have to talk to my people" an...

Thanks for the lawyer input Jake75! It sounds like from what you are saying that the dealer does have a legal standing to rescind the contract. But once they rescind the contract does that also mean I have the right to return the car and be refunded my money? That would be the route I would like to ...

I agree with you - I don't want to "lawyer-up" unless I have to. I did find out that Missouri offers a half-hour consultation with a lawyer for $30, so I might at least do that and find out what my options are. I already called my credit union and told them that the dealership is threateni...

Well I just got off the phone with my saleslady. She started off all sweet asking me if I got her message about not be allowed the $500 and I said yes and she got quiet so I asked "you are not asking me to pay this are you?" And she said of course I am - and I told her I am not paying for ...

You guys are great! Thanks for the good advice. On a good note, I financed through my credit union since that way I could still get a good rate and also take the $1000 rebate rather than the GMAC financing. So they really have no stick to hold over me. I gave them a lien check which should be good a...

Thanks for all the great inputs already! I will be talking with the dealer tomorrow and I'll let you know what they tell me. I am going to stand fast and tell them I refuse to pay it. We'll see what they say!

Hello all -I purchased my AWD Vibe last weekend and am loving it! Great styling, good power (although I have to wait till the end of break-in period to really be able to tell!), and nice amenities inside. All that being said, I do have a question about the raw deal my dealer is giving me.Has anyone ...
