I traded my Vibe in last week and I got $10,200 for it. It had 25K miles. I enjoyed the Vibe but I couldn't resist the current Saab 9-3 offers. I leased an '04 9-3 Arc for $20 more than my Vibe payment and with no money out of my pocket.

Saturn will have this out by early '04. This becomes interesting. I may have to wait and see if this becomes an option to me instead of the Vibe S/C.Highlights of the ION Red Line include:2.0-liter, supercharged and intercooled version of the Ecotec four-cylinder engine Five-speed transmission with ...

1) A used Y2K Z24 and slapped on the GM supercharger2) Would have waited and considered the Neon SRT3) WRX .. oh yeah

It was 2 degrees this morning and my car won't start. The starter was not turning. My first instinct is to check the battery, which was ok (green eye). The clutch pedal safety switch came to mind. Assuming that there might be some internal lubricant in the switch that froze, I heated it with a blow ...

I wonder if Pontiac will only select a handful of select dealers to sell/install the SC. If you browse the GMGoodwrench website, they have a pre-selected list of dealers.

Honda is supplying GM with a small volume of the 3.5L V6 engines that GM will use for the Saturn VUEs. Since Saturn is GM's import fighter, GM will probably gain more sales with this move. Honda, in return, will buy Isuzu (GM affiliate) built diesel engines that they will put in their European marke...

A local (Detroit area) audio installer here is running an ad on the papers for a remote starter for $249.00 designed specifically for manual trannys. Manufacturer is Clifford.

What you're experiencing is normal. The delay is due to the headlight twilight sentinal (auto on) not engaging right after start-up.

if I were to install (providing it's available) a header after the sc mod, do you guys think that I can get more HP? What about using the 2zz manifold with the base engine? I've read in previous threads that this is better than the headers.

Consider buying new. With the $2K rebate or zero financing plus your GM discount, the price would probably closed to that of the used car.

I had a '99 Z24. I probably would not have sold it and gotten the Vibe if the supercharger for it had been out a lot earlier. Good car for the money, never had a major mechanical issue.The next generation cavalier/sunfire will probably be an '05 model that will share the same platform as the ION. Al...

Unplugging the sensor makes the lights stay off. I tried this also, I just missed having the auto-on so I plugged it back on and just removed the lens cover.

With GM geting into the tuner market, the vibe will get the aftermarket SC and the ION will have a SC engine factory installed rated over 200HP.What would you do? Upgrade the Vibe or get the ION with the factory warranty.

Unplugging the sensor will disable the auto-on feature of the headlights. Another option is to pop off the dark lens cover of the sensor. I did this myself and it seemed to decrease the sensor sensitivity. You just have to get comfortable with sensor sans cover.
