General Motors Rebate

Question

I bought a new Pontiac Vibe and took delivery on July 30, 2008. Two days later on Aug 1st they started giving a $500.00 rebate. What are my chances of asking for and receiving that $500.00 rebate now ? Do I have a chance in Hxxl of getting it? Anyone been down the same road? What was the outcome?

Answer 1

they are giving rebates so people will buy a car..  since no one is buying!!!!   they arent going to give you $500 back....you could raise some h**l though!!!

Answer 2

Very unlikely.  You get the incentives that are going on at that time.  But, like with most things in life, it can't hurt to ask.  I would suggest being really polite and calling (or visiting in person) the salesman you worked with and just ask.  The worst he can say is no.

Since the cash allowances come from GM and not the dealership, I am guessing the answer will be no, but there is a chance the dealership might be willing to take the hit in the interest of customer satisfaction.
