GM Certified Used Vehicles is now offering to “well-qualified” buyers 3.9% APR financing through June 1, 2010.
This promotion applies to all 2005-2010 model year GM Certified Pontiac G6 and Chevrolet Malibu models for as long as 60 months.
“As the spring season is coming into full swing, customers may be looking to trade-in for a reliable and economical used vehicle,” said Paul Pejza, manager, GM Certified Used Vehicles.
GM Certified Used Vehicles are reconditioned and available at participating Buick, Chevrolet and GMC dealers. All models are six years old or newer, have 75,000 miles or less, are reconditioned to “stringent” GM Certified Used Vehicles quality standards and must undergo a 117-point inspection and repair process.
All GM Certified Used Vehicles are supported by a fully transferable five-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty with no deductible (whichever comes first from vehicle’s original in-service date) and a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.
There are also a Carfax vehicle history report, a three-day/150-mile customer satisfaction guarantee, and 24-hour roadside assistance and courtesy transportation during the term of the powertrain warranty. See dealer for details. For more information about GM Certified Used Vehicles, to locate a dealer or to learn about the details of the warranty and benefits, see www.gmcertified.com.
Mr. Z, you are good. It’s not easy to take the original bland press release and insert sarcasm using only two sets of quotation marks. I suppose it’s harmless fun as most people don’t pay enough attention to the language to notice. Fun with words.
Brian: It’s also a red flag for perceptive readers warning them that no auto or finance company is willing to provide the credit scores needed to qualify for such offers, which may leave our viewers open to “bait and switch” tactics where one rate is promoted but a higher one is actually offered.
It also reflects the lack of data to back up GM’s definition of a “stringent” inspection. The inspection could very well be stringent, but I am not willing to blindly accept that assertion, and was trying to alert readers to possible hype.
