best dealership(1st one i've bought a car from) was laurie williamson in mississauga. best people there. they're located in the erin mills auto mall near dundas and glen erin drive. i bought my sunfire off them back in 2003. im not sure if the guy still works there and very vague on his name lol, but he helped me alot his name is scott kitchen, such a good guy to deal with, or even dwight edwards and when you go into the service area, nadine was my girl, she gave me some free stuff(license plate covers and other little things) she was my best friendhere's their websitehttp://www.lauriewilliamson.com/en/index.spy

Stay away from Plaza Pontiac,those guys are crooks,and I will never do business with them again.Bought 3 cars from them and screwed me around when I returned my leased sunfire just before the Vibe.

Mavrik worked at Gord Anderson Pontiac GM dealership in Woodstock for over 2 yrs as a service tech. He also bought his Vibe from there. They seemed like a good place, but he'll have to tell you himself.

Do you know how many times we've driven that stretch?? (removed)! it's not 3 hrs. maybe an hr and half depending on where at in TO. Remember, I've been to TO SEVERAL times in the past 3 yrs, driven all through it and all over Ontario and every place in between there and Alaska.

So i went to a dealer today...They had a few VibesI love the exterior of the car, really nice size etc..But i also checked out the one 08- was very comfortible, etc...It also seemed like the 08 had more space in the back then the 09...so that really thru me for a loop..I asked them how much a 09 GT goes for (i was curious) they priced the it at approx 30k...which sounded really high- for 30k, that car better have a set of wings on it so i can fly over the traffic on the highway...I was somewhat dismayed at the pricing- they really werent going to budge an inch on the price (and i had not even mentioned my supplier discount - the company that i work for does consulting work for GM-from what i gather- supplier discount is discretionary amount, not fixed)With the pricing the way it is, im probably going to wait it out or look for something else.
