How Much Did Everyone Pay For Their Vibes?

[nismo]

I was jus wondering, if I got a good deal or not?I bought my Vibe almost a year ago. September 3rd was the date I believe. This is what came with my car2004 Shadow BaseMoons and TunesPower Package16 inch alloy wheelsMonotoneAll this for $16400 out the door. What I think they did was they marked the Vibe as a 2003 instead of a 2004. Could that be it. Cuz I think I got like 4000 in rebates. The car started out like $21000.Inder Singh

2004 Shadow GTMoon and TunesPower packageMonotoneAfter rebates and GM card took out a loan for 15,500. Not to shabby for a car that can haul 3 dogs, 2 bags of luggage, 2 sets of golf clubs, gifts from a wedding shower, and still get 33 mpg.

Nov. 2002 on 2003 Base 5sp w/power package and some misc. accessories. Sticker at $17,8xx. Dealer price at $16,8xx. GM rebate $2000, GM CC rebate at $28xx. Total out the door including dealer fees - $12,041.30

i bought mine apr 19, 03. $22K, sticker $23K. i didn't care, it's all they had and i couldn't wait 3 mos to order one. besides, 1.9% financing and pmt is only $320/mo from $500/mo on my tundra.... so it didn't matter much to me. i didn't want to pay less on the car and more for financing. when i looked at the BIG picture, the total number including finance charges, taxes, etc is what i cared about as well as the monthly payment. i didn't get the best deal, but i don't feel i got ripped off either.

[ebslopp]

Quote, originally posted by jake75 »What was the MSRP? MSRP was like 17,800 or something. I'd have to look. It is a base 2004 without the power package and no moons and tunes. I bought it back in February. I couldn't find anybody who would match the price, so I decided it must be a good deal.

[vibepa]

opps. I meant to say dealer took 2500 off. 2300065002500250020001000=8500I don't remeber but I did end up paying 9057.00 with taxes

Trust me, you don't want me to answer that question........ Let's just say I'll be upside down in this thing for many years to come.

In Nov 03, got my 2004 Vibe base with automatic, monotone, power package, 6 CD changer, ABS, protection pkg (side airbags & alarm).MSRP $20370Discounts: $1272 discount for "GM in the Driveway" certificate, $2000 factory rebate, $250 rebate for CA car tax hike, $3788 GM card, $400 recent graduate rebate. Total discount $7710 to end up at $12660.Out the door = $14300Also, the dealer I bought from has a lifetime free oil change, and free car wash. They also have free snacks and drinks (from soda and coffee vending machines) while I wait in the customer lounge. Those should be worth a few hundred dollars.

Sounds like I am the only one who didnt buy new. So not sure if mine counts or not. I didnt like the 2005 and this was the only Vibe NOT a 2005 on the lot. I really wanted new but I couldn't pass this one up..Anyways.. Bought it June 2004 2003 Base (build date 10/02 on door sticker) Frosty Mono5speedPower package17" GT rimsNew Goodyear touring tires installed day of pick upWas a program car with 12500 miles with the remaining warrenty and an additional 6 months 6000 miles for the "certified" pre-owned deal.Total price out the door was $8200, no trade or any other fancy stuff and not even $1 down payment. I also got the the lifetime oil change from the dealer but will prolly not use it much unless I am dead broke.

More importantly, is your son ok??? I've heard these things are incredibly safe. How badly was he hurt?

[Slimer]

Base, Envy, no power stuff or moon and tunes, two tone, auto, '03. Bought used in '04 with 14,500 miles on the clock. Price: 12,500, the same as a similarly equipped brand new Kia but with better equipment and engineering, more power, more room, higher quality. Unless you've got a hardon to put the first mile on it or some such nonsense, there's no reason to buy ANY car new. I got an essentially new car with no flaws and low miles for three-quarters of the original purchace price. Am I missing something here? What's not to love?

I generally agree with you there, Slimer. I've bought used until now and feel I've done alright.But if you can get a deal on a new car that keeps your loan balance below the resale value, why not buy new? Knowing who the first owner is (me), plus having an extra 10-15K miles of warranty is reassuring.

[jake75]

As I always say, you gotta run the numbers. IMO the majority of people overpay for a used car. If a new car is $18,000 and a three year old used one with 45,000 miles is $12,000 I'll take the new one. Make it $9,000 and perhaps the used one starts to make sense.

I love the car, so I'm not complaining, but $8200? Even factoring in another $1000 for the ATX, that's a BIG difference!!Ouch.

[AKLGT]

i've only purchased 2 cars used. and had nothing but trouble. to me, having a full warranty (especially since i have to drive A LOT for my job) is well worth spending the little extra money. plus, w/ rebates and dealer incentives, it doesn't make sense for me to buy used. i can't afford having my car break down constantly and in the shop.

[sensfanrk]

I got a two-tone Base Model with just the Sports Package (alum. wheels, upgraded stereo, moonroof.)With a $500 previous GM owner's rebate, and $1000 GM Grad Rebate, and some dickering, I got it down from $26110 to $24310. (Canadian Funds mind you!) With a 25% exchange rate, that works out to $19448 US Funds.
