DETROIT — General Motors Co. says it will allow new car buyers to return their vehicles within 2 months of purchasing them for a full refund if they're not satisfied.
The program is part of a sweeping, new marketing campaign, called "May the Best Car Win."
The automaker says it will help prove that its vehicles are competitive when it comes to quality and performance.
GM will allow customers who purchase a new vehicle between Sept. 14 and Nov. 30 to return it for a refund within 31 to 60 days from the date of purchase.
The offer applies to brands such as Chevrolet, GMAC, Buick and Cadillac.
Pontiacs are not eligible for the program as the company is phasing out the brand. Leased vehicles are also ineligible.
===============
Since cars lose a big chunk of their value when they are driven off the lot, GM is looking at a big potential loss I think. It's basically a 2 month test drive!

Fine print is that in order to return the car, you must first prove you bought something else from a competitor. So, this only works for people who have the credit or cash to temporarily have two cars while they return the GM.

Sorry, I'm still bitter about keeping a failed company afloat on the taxpayer's dime knowing we'll never see it all paid back. Especially given the fact that that they were still down 20% in sales during the Cash For Clunkers period....

Looking at the customer quality reports on the net, Mustang has beaten both Camaro and Challenger, so I think this is a reincarnation of what Daewoo were doing in the UK three years or so ago before GM bought them out.
It's another marketing scheme to try and get your hard earned cash of you, think it would be very hard to get your money back as a FULL refund, I'm sure someone will try the scheme out as a way of renting a car for a month or two but will then come unstuck when the time comes to argue for a full refund.
