Hi everyone,I am writing a collective response to the surprising discourse, which has occured on this board since I last visited.First, the pictures of BOTH cars I posted were REPRESENTATIVE of both the cars -- I never laid eyes on the Vibe in PA, and it was sold from under me before I got to see it...

Hi,Kerbeck Automotive in Pleasantville, NJ was the dealer I contracted with the buy the car. They made arrangements with A.W. Golden Pontiac in Reading, PA to swap cars....they would drive a car there and pick mine up as Kerbeck did not have one with my exact specs, but Golden did. Golden sold my ca...

Why does this boggle the mind? I think I was clear that my goals were to buy a economically-priced car, around $20K, and to get great gas mileage since the reason I am buying the car is daily work-related travel. The Vibe gets 35 MPG, and this diesel bettle gets 42MPG. Both have 4 cylinders. Both ha...

Good morning, folks!Here is my position on Subaru. I looooooooooooove the Willow Green/Moss Metallic (two tone -- still hate the monotone where there is two tone available) Outback 3.0 LLBean edition. A few months back, Iest drove one in silver and had a really nice time doing so. If I am fortunate ...

One more pic of my new addition...(and forgive me for posting a non-Vibe picture here...)

Yesterday, I had the dealers from both PA and NJ calling me back and forth telling me the other was lying about what went down. Albany will not hold the one they have until Monday, even with a credit card deposit.So, after being truly beaten up by three different Pontiac dealers, a good friend took ...

That may be true, but I identify as a loyal GM customer -- all we've ever bought has been GM products. I think the national customer service/marketing departments at Pontiac would care to know how these dealers screwed me, and I plan to talk loudly and often about it until someone at least has the b...

Hi....no I do NOT want the monotone. The drama continued today. The PA dealer's sales manager (who my dealer accused of selling the car out from under me) was super nice when he called me in response to my voice mail from last night in which I told him how upset I was at his unethical practices. He ...

Hi,Well, so much for a happy birthday.I am new here....posted earlier today that my new Vibe would be delivered tomorrow morning, which is now not going to happen. (For picture of my would-be car, please look to the left at my avatar).Last night, I signed a contract and paid a deposit for a Platinum...

Not yet, but ask me that question in about two years. I'm working on something big right now, which is on the same scale as SuperSize Me -- basically it's me, a camera guy, some hard work and research, a few well-placed interviews, and a great premise. My first doc (30 minute short) is currently run...

Hey, the gas mileage is really great over the long haul. Looks like joatmon is getting 35.8 MPG on average, and sometime better than that. Woo hoo!

Cool - congrats on your new car! I loved the Stealth, but there was not one within 250 miles without the premium packages. The sunroof was not an option because my husband is 6'7", and the sunroof lowers the ceiling to the point he had to bend his head while sitting in the car. Without the sunr...

Hey, thanks for the tip! I will try that later and will post more pics soon!

Hey joatman, you got a pic of that car of yours?

Here is another pic of my new car. Apparently, this forum won't support the Mac browser for inserting images, so click on the image link below.

I noticed yours on this site, and it definitely sealed the decision to go with platinum two-tone rather than stealth or moonstone. Great car, eh? Do you love driving it? Any problems with it since you bought it?

Hi y'all!First, thanks for the info on this page. I learned a lot from reading before I made my purchase yesterday.Today is my 39th birthday, and last night, I decided to buy myself my first new car ever (no more of hubby's hand-me-downs!) After a lot of thought and research, and with a commitment t...
