I swore off GM when the Obama administration stole from the GM bondholders and gave their hard earned stake to the undeserving UAW. Government Motors can kiss my *ss.

I would read the fine print very carefully if I were one of those who would go out on a limb and make a purchase from Government Motors.

Government Motors put the screws to the bond holders for a ton of money.

I don't think they would even bat an eye when it came to doing the same to a lowly new car buyer.

Locally the sales tax on a $30,000 purchase would run $2,400. I assume they reimburse that as well.

Bring in a sack full of ashes and tell them you’re returning your Chevy Volt.

Scene from Tommy Boy

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted. Why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.

Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted? [chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing]

Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of s**t. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Ted Nelson, Customer: [pause] Okay, I'll buy from you.

Tommy: Well, that's...

Tommy, Richard Hayden: ...What?

Didn’t Chrysler do that recently? Didn’t seem to help *them* much given that they’re still turning out total garbage.

GM and Chrysler are off my list due to both still owing me for their bailout. Since I’m moving to the ‘country’ NE of Dallas in a few weeks (longer commute to Plano), I’ll be looking for a fuel-friendly replacement for our current Dodge Magnum - maybe a Ford Focus. I’ll sure miss the power of that 3.5L but not the fuel costs.

If they aren't satisfied with the vehicle, GM the tax payers will refund their money.

There fixed it.

I used to be a satisfied GM customer, but now they make me sick. If they had gone with a normal Chapter 11, I would have gladly supported them with my next purchase. Now, I never want to see the inside of another GM dealership.
