According to the Wall Street Journal GM will cut prices of up to 46% off any remaining Pontiacs and Saturns. I don't know if there are any Vibes left in inventory but it might be worth that proverbial needle in a haystack search. See the following link.

...obviously, GM doesn't want all those "discontinued derelics" competing with their new 2010-2011 models.

If someone is interested in a Saturn Aura XR, the cars are going for 20K with window stickers of close to 30K. Not bad for a new car that is essentially the same as a new Malibu.

I saw on craigslist a dealer had 7 thousand off any remaining G5's.

They just had this on the local faux evening news, they're selling them as USED cars even if they have next to nothing on the odometer so the dealers can sell them as whatever they want. $7,000 off.The camera panned to a white Vibe at a dealer in Illinois. But a dealer search on their site shows only one G6 GXP there. Bummer.Screw GM though, just seems to me like they keep slapping Pontiac fans in the face. They are desperate to get rid of these things they never wanted in the first place so they can focus on their golden children divisions. You couldn't get me to buy another GM, even if you gave me a $15,000 discount on a $14,000 car.

GM quit showing Vibe search results on the Pontiac website over a month ago. GM likely spent way more on their 'going out of business' direct mail and advertising than they ever spent trying to sell the Vibe in the first place.

There may be deals on remaining 2009 models, but last I heard, the GM/Toyota NUMMI deal has them still producing the Vibe through 2010.

The last Vibe was produced in August and the NUMMI plant is idling down to be completely closed within the next 60 Days. PRESS RELEASE:General Motors Statement Regarding Discontinuation of Pontiac Vibe Production at NUMMI FacilityAttributable to Troy Clarke, President, General Motors North AmericaAs part of its long-term viability plan and recent decision to phase out the Pontiac brand, General Motors has decided to discontinue production of the Pontiac Vibe by the end of August 2009. The Vibe is produced at the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated (NUMMI) facility jointly operated by GM and Toyota in Fremont, California. While no replacement for Vibe production has been determined, GM and Toyota remain in active discussions regarding potential future production at NUMMI.
