Useless New Car Dealer Websites - Vibe and others
Trying to browse dealer sites to find out what is available - it seems that the majority give you minimal information. One had only the color and the MSRP. Not even if automatic or manual. The best (very few) actually let you bring up the window sticker so you can see exactly what is in stock and how they are equipped. I guess dealers figure the less information they can give you the better it is for them. Another issue - websites apparently not kept up to date. Dealer dad stated "40 in stock". There were 11 listed on their website.

Go to the Pontiac website, http://www.pontiac.com/On the left side there is "locate dealer" enter your zip code and "go". This is what I used when I was searching, and it will list ALL the dealers Pontiacs in stock, the car VINs, color, interior color, features, and price. Good luck!

Did you try gmbuypower.com?I haven't used it since I bought my Vibe 4 years ago, but I was able to see inventory, stickers, the works for all local dealers. I tracked my eventual Vibe for a while, made an internet offer that was rejected, waited a couple weeks, it was still there, went there checkbook in hand and got a better price than my original internet offer.

I'll second the Pontiac website, it got me full stickers with all the options and price listed. When I started working with my dealer, I already knew all the AWD Vibes with the options I wanted in 100 sq miles.It completely made up for local dealers not having decent websites.

About the only thing you can't tell from pontiac.com or gmbuypower.com is cars that are ordered and cars in-transit to the dealership.If you find a car that's close to what you want, you may be able to negotiate a better deal as the dealer tries to clear remaining 07 inventory from the lot.

Yup, I found mine on Pontiac.com and went to my local dealership. Said "I want one of these" and a few days later they called me up with a deal.
