am I too late to seek out a GM In the Driveway Certificate?

[craigernd]

I recently ordered a base salsa power pack/abs vibe which is slated to be delivered in late december or early januaryI just read about some folks who received a GM In the Driveway Certificate for their Vibe purchaseswould I still be able to use one given that I already agreed to a price and committed to the production of my Vibe?and if I can use one, can someone send me a certificate?thankscraig lombardi - vibe owner to be and rookie poster

welcome to genvibe.I don't know if you can still use one or not, you probably need to ask the dealer to be sure. at http://www.gminthedriveway.com there's a FAQ, which includes the following statement:"20. Can I receive this discount from any GM Dealer? This program is available through all participating U.S. GM Dealers and is voluntary on the part of the dealers. Dealer participation is on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis. Please inform your dealer of your intention to use the "GM in the Driveway" certificate during your first contact with the dealer. If your dealer elects not to participate, you may visit another GM Dealer. "Also, be glad you're not in canada, sounds like the wait on an ordered vibe is about 4 months there.

The other question - does it really make much difference. Current rabate is $1,500 in my area. While the dealer discount depends somewhat on the MSRP, a $1,000 discount is about par as the spread between invoice and msrp (including the advertising fees) is not a lot more than $1,000. If you got $2,500 more or less off MSRP including rebate don't lose any sleep over it. I doubt that the "GM in the driveway is worth any more than another hundred or two, if that. I admit that I do not know "everything". Anyone here with other info, please speak up.

am basically getting my base Vibe for a bit over $1000 below MSRP less an additional $2000 incentive rebateoh well it was worth a try seeking out additional discounts - I probably should have acquired a GM credit card and transferred an existing account balance

[jake75]

I don't think transferred balances earn the 5% rebate credit on GM Cards any more.

I just got my certificates if anyone needs one IM me or email me and I'll send them out as soon as i get addresses. I have 8 out of 10 left (2 might have been spoken for depending on if they got their vibes yet)sorry it took so long GM is really slow. they are good untill january 2, 2004

If somebody can get me one of these certificates it would be greatly appreciated. I'm buying an '03 GT this week. I'm at jlaszlo@hotmail.com Thanks!

hey, don't feel bad. i paid full msrp for my vibe in april. then you see some folks on here paid like $5K less than me! but, i needed it then and that day, so no money down and 1.9% interest, i'll just deal with it.

there is a $250 voucher you can get. it is a settlement check for the 70's truck tank issue. voucher . you see them on Ebay all the time. I kept a few at all time, as I buy cars all the time. I actually have 2 of them. pm or e-mail me if you need them.as for GM card rebate, see if any of your friend has it. you would be suprised how many people have them. all they have to do is add put your name on the card, you don't even get a card. offer them 1/2, which is still 2.5% deal for them.also Upromise.com have $150, but you do have to be enrolled for at least 6 months.

I could kick myself for not knowing about those $250 certificates sold on E-Bay - and I am an E-Bay junkie! This is the first I have heard about those. That's like taking candy from a baby. Two now offered on E-Bay at $9.99 plus $3 shipping - a $237 profit for anyone buying before mid-Jan. For Columbus, OH area buyers, there is a $200 Haydocy Pontiac coupon in the Ohio Savings Bank coupon book - free for qualifying account holders, $20 for others with a nonqualifying account. A lot of other good coupons in there as well especially if you like to eat out. Ohio Savings pays good interest on checking accounts too. 2% for balances over $50,000.

HI scherry2: I went to Pontiac dealer almost ready to pickup vibe , I hope I can buy my first Pontiac using ""GM in the Driveway" certificate, Could you help me please ^_^, I was thinking about buying Toyota Matrix then after reading http://www.nctd.com mention about Pontiac Vibe as same as Matrix with better options and $2000 discount. I did not buy it today because I need to sale my car, they only offer me $300 for my 1995 volvo 850, Hope I can use your certificate to cover my used car cost. Thanks so so much!!Have a nice day!!God Bless you!!!

Be glad you get a $2,000 rebate. Seems to be only $1,500 here in Ohio. (Was $2,000 on the 2003's.)
