Dealer Advertising

Post by jake75 »

Had not noticed ANY dealer advertising in recent months for the VIBE; This weekend there was an ad for a base VIBE, manual trans, Moons & Tunes & Alum wheels $17,840 MSRP less dealer disc $900 less $2,000 rebate less $1,000 GM loyalty rebate, net $13,940. As that is probably $100 over invoice I wonder if there might not be some add'l dealer incentive money flowing from GM. Of course the 3% holdback adds another $500.

I've seen Vibe ads in my Cosmo magazine (great bathroom reading!) almost every month since last summer.

I personally have seen very little Vibe advertisements around here. I never even see the comercials anymore.
Shadow Vibe - two tone (almost no need for the monotone in this color IMHO) - slate interior - power package - moon and tunes - abs - 16" aluminum wheels - and the GD on the radio! http://www.cardomain.com/id/db_vibe

You're right - I haven't seen many TV ads. Its all been in magazines from what I've seen.

I have noticed a significant increase in Vibe TV adds in the Twin Cities area since mid-February. Maybe my market is in the minority, but the Vibe is on TV a lot now.

Seen tv ads twice, yet to see any print ads. Pontiac sure was heavily pushing the 03 sunfire on collegeclub.com though for a while...seems they toned it down...
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
