Just think about it from the dealers perspective and how frustrated they cannot join the feeding frenzy, beyond selling you the car at list price and adding as many useless ,over priced dealer pacs , warranties As possible. Some are even mandatory, as they have you over a barrel , take it or leave it.

Not to mention trying to protect the future resale market for used vehicles that would further enrich their businesses as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and they consider it “their turf”. To be shut out of this lucrative revenue stream must keep dealer principals up at night.

 So now imagine where the pressure on GM is being exerted from and how a thin narrative is being exerted on the customers who are purchasing these vehicles.

I have no doubt GM will clamp down on some, but to what extent. Surely people who have situations where they have to sell for health,  death, etc. Cannot be held to such a strict standard, which is legally questionable in the first place, since you have title to the property . Gross abusers / exporters may be able to be black listed by GM to protect their marketplace , defined as dealer network and all the things they do to generate profit.

I am glad that we have a few great dealers that do not take advantage of us , like Spencer Chev. And others we use on this board, that have a longer term view our business relationship, vs. A predatory single transaction view.
