GM launches 2 new sales initiatives

August 20, 2008

The Detroit News reports that GM is running short of cash. The dire financial straits have prompted 2 recent major announcements from the automaker.

First, GM is offering a new warranty for used cars under their certified-car program. This is a highly unusual move that you can benefit from. This bumper-to-bumper warranty is for 12 months/12,000 miles.

The second announcement concerns employee pricing on new vehicles. This is not a gimmick. It's a longstanding perk that's been enjoyed by the employees of many American automakers. Now it's being extended to the general public in the hopes that they'll buy more GM vehicles.

Now is the time for great deals -- unless you're seeking a highly coveted small car or a hybrid!
