GM repurchase

Post by No Moa »

Are the GM repurchase cars, repos or problem children, off lease? I found a 13 with low miles, was a GM repurchase. Hard starting issue that has "been all fixed". Thoughts. I've never heard of this. At a GM dealer. Still has the remander of the warranty.

according to GM history it means, it was a pile of crap, and GM bought it back. Damn.

Lemon law stuff. I owned a factory-repurchased 2004 Porsche Cayenne that was a customer satisfaction repurchase by Porsche for a no-start issue. It was fine for that particular issue, it was other stuff like exploding cooling pipes and $3,000 headliners falling down that caused me to get rid of it.

If it has GM warranty on it, if you buy the car make darn well sure you get the extended bumper to bumper GM warranty protection for however long you plan on running the car. It may be an OK vehicle if GM stands behind it. Of course this means you can't mod the car very much until your warranty is up....

I walked away. This is what it had.

"This one has had a camshaft, 2 sets of plugs, both converters, fuel module, injectors, starter, act compressor. All within the 10k miles. And it only went 110 miles in 9 months after cam was done."

the only way i would consider it is if it was real cheap...


it also depends on the brand, say you want a current caprice, retail is $20K for a perfect one, this one that has had issues is $10K, that's worth taking chance on because there is nothing over complicated....
Now if was say a Mercedes S600 (twin turbo V12) no way in the world i would touch it unless it was very very cheap and i have planned in advance to walk away when it messes up instead of fixing it...

It wasn't this one by chance, was it?

This is a repurchase, has a sketchy history on the autocheck. Of course the dlr puts Autochecks for every car, except the one's with a bad history, haha. Scammers.
