Cars are just a passion.

I look forward to the day I own myself an Impala. Or a tiny car with a supercharged 3.8 series II squeezed into its engine bay.

LOL my logic only works some of the time. That one just happened to be one of the times. Just curious do you own a RAIV or just a fan.

Assuming by the emoticon your are just making a small joke with your comment. Down in the U.S. all Chevrolet Impala’s are imports. They are all built in Oshawa Ontario Canada from what I have heard. I could be mistaken, but I do know that is where mine was built. Which would make it domestic to me as I am Canadian. =o)

I am well away that 230,000km is 180,000 miles. The car it had 290,000km’s on it when sold it and it still ran like a top, and never needed anything other than oil changes. Not like my Subaru Legacy GT which needed a timing belt every 100,000km (not miles) which was $1000. My Intergra needed a timing belt every 100,000km (not miles) $1000. Both those imports cost me a lot of money in maintenance every year. The Impala cost me two sets of tires, one set of brake pads (all 4 wheels) and front rotors and oil changes every 10,000km. Nothing else had to be done. That was just my experience with domestic vs. imports. None of my friends that drive imports could match the yearly maintenance costs of my Impala. They were paying a lot more per year and putting 1/3 the amount of km’s on it. And by the way, there are a lot less things to go wrong on a golf cart then a car. Please be serious. You cant compare a golf cart to a car.

Apparently, idrinorbarsaku is a highly skilled professional. wow.. I am impressed.

dude, you are apparently a hater so I guess this will mean nothing to you. The 60 day guarantee has the buyback price spelled out at the time of delivery. If you friend lost $10,000, the ONLY explanation would be they were upside down with the vehicle they owned previously. You DO NOT lose equity in the vehicle you purchase, and there IS NOT a mountain of paperwork to go through. In fact, you don’t even lose sales tax (if your state allows the refund).

You are a clueless idiot, and I hope others reading these forums see through your bullshit.

“lets take a poll…”
yeah right, like someone is going to respond to your stupid questions! Get a life!

Lets take a poll: What does everyone here do for a living? I can’t wait to hear where some of the mindless bashers in this forum work. Come on………..tell me where you work or what you do so I can come up with a few hundred reasons why you should be out of a job & YOUR industry brought down.

Let the bashing begin……………….

As for if you are trying to cash out, I don’t think anyone should be complaining over losing a few grand off of a cash back deal, you signed for the car, you had papers to read and knew the terms, if it was any other vehicle you would be out of luck, out the TT&L, out the financing fees, and out the interest, and you would STILL only get like 85% of the intrinsic value back because you drove it off the lot. This legal agreement is not some magic wand, you don’t just magically get all the money you put out back, you made commitments to many people, the dealer, financial institutions, etc. and you are bringing back a vehicle that even in perfect condition is not worth as much as it was when you signed for it.

Unless part of the deal is the title doesn’t get transferred for 60 days you are in pretty darn good stead for being offered so much back from a company that is probably losing money any time someone partakes. It’s for us, not just to fleece the gullible.

A lot of complaining for what is the best option out there if you erred i your choosing. You get a Hayabusa and find out you can’t handle that power, there is no money back guarantee you can sell it back to the dealer for a major loss, or hope some simp out there will take it off your hands, but you can’t just expect all your choices to be without cost.

My past three vehicles have been GM’s products. I bought a used 2003 Impala which was the best vehicle I have owned. I put over 230,000km’s on it with no issues. When I traded it on my 2000 Silverado (of course used) it had 290,000 km’s on it. My Silverado apart from being hard fuel because it is a 3/4 ton has been stellar. I have had no issues with it either. My wife’s new 2008 Torrent has been perfect as well. Any time I have dealt with the dealers they have been very forthcoming and a pleasure to deal with. That is more than I can say for the hyundai/subaru dealer I used to deal within Edmonton, and the Acura dealers in Ontario that I used to frequent I had imported cars.

Like I was saying before the Acadia is from in the familty I would have never even looked at it myself.
I do have an Acura and would only drive a Honda or Toyota. I right now have an Acura RL and wife has a Honda. We have had no issues with either of them and that is why I will continue to own them.
The great thing is well all drive what ever we want. Im also from canada and Find my car to run great though the winter as some of my older cars ( gm ) did not.

Going back to the issue with the only 1 returning a GM. All I was tring to get across that it is a false statement. You can not return a GM in the 60 days.

I have owned an Acura and looked at a BMW before. I would sooner have a Cadillac SRX than either. I would not be able to justify the extra cost of the BMW just for a name. I know they are good vehicles but not worth the money they are asking for them. As for Acura. Mine was a piece of junk. The frame rotted out, the rocker panels were gone, the transmission was shot. Leaked oil, and every time it rained and up in canada it rains quite a bit in spring time my back seat flooded on my integra. Much as you may hate GM at least they are trying, if you have a problem bringing the Acadia back under 60 money back guarantee call GM Corporate and complain if you have not done anything to mess up with the print and I am sure they will help you. If you have done something contradicts what the fine print says, then I guess it sucks and you lose 10,000 on trade.

Try taking a Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, BMW X5, or Ford Flex back after 60 days and see what happens. I bet you will lose a hell of a lot of money trade in.

The thing is you would never bring the highlander or the MDX. The x5 and the flex would be a mistake for sure.

This SUV was offered back about the 40 day mark. well before the 60 days.

(((This is another scam done by GM. look at the fine print. after (before) 60 days and you lose over $10,000
bull Sh!t.))))

I did word it a little funny but I ment before 60 day not after…

GM is still a waste and I would never look at one myself.

Lets say you return the GM and the other car after 60 days. Well you both lost the same.

Lets say you buy another brand and want to return it within 60 days. Well guess what you lost thousands. If you want to return your GM you DIDN’T. Problem there? NO.

Or if you know you won’t return your GM you get a $500 rebate. Problem there? NO.

If you return after 60 days you are in the same boat. Before 60 days and you are ahead. Or you are already $500 ahead.

Of course you lose a lot more money after 60 days if you try to return a car. It is a 60 day money back guarantee not 90 day, not one year. It is a 60 day. If you try and bring it back after that, it is called trading your vehicle in on a new one. Don’t bitch about GM’s fine print in that matter when they named it a 60 day money back guarantee for a reason. Try taking a Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, BMW X5, or Ford Flex back after 60 days and see what happens. I bet you will lose a hell of a lot of money trade in.

Anyway here is the one comment I spoke of. http://www.stephanieclick.com/

“As luck would have it, I work with someone who put this campaign to the test. My friend (Chris) was one of the lucky people who bought a 2010 Camero. (Ironically, it’s the same make/model that I drove in Detroit.) He had it for a short time and decided it wasn’t for him. In fact, living in the city and having to deal with a manual transmission was causing him substantial leg pain. After deciding that this wasn’t something that was going to go away – for no fault of the car and no fault of his own – he was going to have to go back to the dealership and beg for mercy.

Chris bought his car from Classic Chevrolet in Sugar Land, TX (corner of US 59 and Hwy 90). He went back not knowing what to expect. Not only was he returning a car, there was the issue of reversing financing, and where was the car he had traded in?!

I won’t bluff and say that he was in and out in 5 minutes, but the reps at Classic were great to work with and really took care of him. And, by the end of the day (the same day he went in, mind you …) Chris left in a new Impala. Because of the treatment that he got at Classic and because of GM’s commitment to the customer … Chris wanted to stay in the GM family and assure that this dealership retained his business.

I’m so happy to have another reason to be proud of all that this company is doing. Customer commitment and loyalty is proven yet again!”

This is another scam done by GM. look at the fine print. after 60 days and you lose over $10,000
bull Sh!t.
Lutz sucks………….

I’m suprised there hasn’t been more than one old guy who bought a Corvette as a third car for fun buy a manual trying to reconnect with their youth and then realize they are now old and want to not fvck with it anymore. He’s not stupid to return it for an auto, he’s stupid to think he was still 17.

What a jacka$$, as if there is anything to complain about with a GM vehicle. They must have had to look long and hard at their purchase to be stupid enough to return it.

Good luck finding anything better. What a stoopid sh1thead. Must not be American?

GM. AN American Revolution

Shut up. That is all I am going to say to this post.

yeah, johnny, my coworkers are pretty surprised by what i can recall…me, i’m amazed at everything i’ve forgotten!

as I talk to my dad right now, he says there could be a lot of reasons why they let him return it…he bought a 2001 suburban ls, 2003 suburban z71, 2003 avalanche, and a used cargo van…they might just value repeat customers!

It’s not a reflection on the quality of the vehicle, it’s people being cheap. Really, anyone whose already made the decision to buy a GM before being presented with this option is most likely not going to return it and will take the cash instead. I really doubt it’s pulling lots of new people into the dealerships.

And no it’s not that 1 out of 150,000 didn’t return it. 1 out of 100 did. That’s actually pretty crappy in the grand scheme of things.

You GM haters would find a reason to bash whatever program they come up with. If GM offered a 1million mile warranty, you’d say, “yea, but after 1 million miles, I bet the car falls apart”. Open your eyes people. These are tough times for everyone. GM is going to become a great car company & a leader in the industry, just as they always have been. They’ve had their share of problems. Toyota’s issues are just now coming to light. I don’t hear anyone wanting to discuss Toyotas MAJOR recalls, etc. GM was #1 for DECADES. Toyota’s push to be #1 proved that quality suffers greatly when all you want to be is a volume leader. Of course, they hide their engine problems, subpar steal frame issues and cracked stearking shafts, etc. from the public thru the TSB channels. (Technical service bulletins) That means, they know there is a problem but they don’t recall the cars. They fix them ONLY when they have to. Integrity is what you do when noone is looking.

Every American should give GM another chance. Bankruptcy isn’t pretty but it had to be done. I’d like to see the credit reports on all you GM haters too. Also, take a long look in the mirror…..what do you do for a living? Does your company make a profit? Of course they do. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be able to pay you!
What comes around in life, goes around.
