GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Got word from a Toyota dealer that I'm on the waiting list for the supercharger that it'll be out next week. I assume it'll be the same for the Vibe. Good things come to those that wait!

how much is the dealership selling it for? And congrats on getting on the list

i wish i had the cash to be on that list

me too!!Maybe at X-Mas time?????

i wish they had one for the 2zz. i wish i had money.

how long did they say that YOU would have to wait?

He said he should have it in stock next week. If the price is reasonable, I want to have it installed asap! He doesn't have pricing info yet though but if I find out before you guys, I'll post it. On a sour note, it won't work with the TRD CAI. They have to reposition the throttle body and the CAI won't fit. I called TRD to confirm this and was told it probably won't but they may make some last minute changes. Not sure how much of a difference the CAI would make anyway but I was looking forward to the sound.

I work at a GM dealership and my parts manager said the same thing. He is getting some shipped next week. I asked him about pricing and he's not sure, but rumor has it that the dealer cost is about $3000. Of course then they have to jack up the price to sell to a customer. In my opnion, that's way too f@#king much.

FYI I called a dealer inquiring about the Supercharger and gave them the part number that was listed for the supercharger in another post. He made a phone call to Pontiac and they said the part number was discontinued, but the price that was in the system was $2995.

Bet you won't be waiting for much once its in.

Would be nice to get that 0% finance. I bet a dealer could get 5 or 6 % if they're creative. It would only be a meal a month difference even at $4k. I think if you have to have an auto this is probably the best Vibe combo.

Is it in yet?

Awesome!!! Is your dealer having you pay the lump sum at the completion of the install or will they let you finance it?

quote:Awesome!!! Is your dealer having you pay the lump sum at the completion of the install or will they let you finance it?It's a lump sum. Probably the only way to finance it through a dealer is to get it installed before the car is purchased. Total cost with installation will be $3100.00.

Check out ebayThis are afor Corolla and Matrix SChttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33741&item=2429770006http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33741&item=2429770041

Before any of us "Vibers" bid on the trd blowers on e-bay, I believe I remember hearing at the Michigan meet that the Vibe's and Matrix's will not be interchangeable because the computer is different in the two. I may be wrong, but I think I remember hearing this.

In my opnion, that's way too f@#king much.I thought it was funny when gm said the SC should be "well below" $3000. I guess they would consider $2999.99 a lot cheaper......and I was hoping it would be cheaper than turbo.

So I was talking to a guy at the dealer tonight, and he said that the S/C is available for an auto tranny only? I didn't think that sounded right, but I kept my mouth shut...anyone care to give me the accurate info? It doesn't matter either way -- I have an auto, but have no plans to get it...but am just curious...

Don't know about the GM iteration, but at toyotaparts4u.com, they list both a TRD SC for MT and TRD SC for AT. Same price, but maybe there's a difference.
