Jake75 is right. Just got back from the dealer and the price on the window for the current promotion already reflects the GMS discount AND the $1000 rebate. You still get both, but the total on the new stickers from GM already includes both.

I guess it all depends on how bad they want to sell you a car.I'm looking right now and the local salesman said that if you get the employee discount you don't get the Conquest. I guess it assumes that if you're a GM employee that you don't drive anything else? Doesn't make much sense...

I'm trying to decide how much I should be worried about snow with a manual fwd vibe. I've had a 4wd Jeep for the last 8 years and I like having the option even though I usually only put it in 4wd a couple of times a year. However, I've been kinda turned off by the performance reviews of the awd auto...

monotone vibes bumper paint?

Has anyone had any problems with the bumper paint peeling off on their monotone Vibes?I'm looking at getting one and would prefer the 2-tone because I've had bad luck in the past with painted bumpers on other cars.

I'm looking into buying a 2005 vibe to replace my Jeep Liberty (gas mileage issue).I live in mid-Michigan, lots of snow, although I rarely drive in 4-wheel drive.Based on reviews, the awd automatic Vibe is sluggish compared to the fwd manual (base, not GT). And, as you all know, it doesn't come in a...
