"We're interested in it, but we're not going to bleed to buy it," GM CEO Dan Akerson told Bloomberg. "We're the natural buyer."
Ally is seeking to sell about $30 billion worth of assets in Canada, Mexico, Europe and South America. However, it remains unknown if Akerson is interested in the whole lot or just specific pieces.
Like GM, Ally is currently propped up by a federal bailout loan. Ally received $17.2 billion in government loans, leaving the U.S. Treasury Department with a 74 percent stake in the company. However, the sale of its international business may allow Ally to repay more than $11 billion of that debt.
