Thanks for all you who answered. The owner(the guy I dealt with from the
beginning) knocked another $200 off to make it $17,500 plus they will drive
it to my home next week (450 miles round trip) included.

I am using $3000 from the older style GM Card so I am paying $14,500 out of
pocket you might say. I am guessing the GM Card money might disappear if GM
files bankruptcy because a person would be considered an "unsecured
creditor" in those circumstances.

John,
I agree with you.  Love the Vibe, arms are tired.
The door arm rest is all its ever going to be - not much.

However, there was a discussion thread a few months back about the center
console armrest.
I ordered a 2003 Toyota Matrix XRs center console lid.  Fit like a glove and
now the arm rest is much higher and
much more comfortable.  The price was <$90 USD.

The site was a dealership in Mechanicsville, Virginia......but the glitch is
you have to order by the part number.
If you order by the drawing, you get the lower version.

Do a search of previous threads on "Vibe armrest".  It may show up if your
news service holds messages for a while.

Thanks for the real world vehicle review. Also, the link is a good one.
