they say you're eligible as long as you are also eligible for unemployment benefits- BUT, to do this, do you have to finance thru GM or can you have private financing still?

I don't want to sound like a downer here...but is any of this really news?
You ALREADY get 1 year of the "Safe and Sound" plan from OnStar. You ALREADY get a limited 5yr/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. The "Vehicle Value Protection" is only good for the first 24 months... So the only thing that is different is this "Payment Protection" which honestly doesn't sound as good as the Hyundai version that came out first. AND, this offer is only good for the month of April? I'm just curious as to why they didn't do something a bit more. I love GM and hope to God that they get out of this mess fast, but this doesn't do anything for me. |

I guess this was in response to similar news from Ford earlier today.

I hadn't noticed that the "value protection" (details?) only applies for the first two years. How many people trade a car within two years?
It is good that they're offering payment protection for two years. Hyundai only does one. But Hyundai also lets you return the car. That doesn't appear to be an option here. Correction: the plan description in the OP is incorrect. The "value protection" applies after at least half the payments have been made, and kicks in the difference between payoff and "clean NADA retail." And the odds of the dealer giving you clean NADA retail on your trade are? Last edited by mkaresh; 03-31-2009 at 10:37 AM. |

So Ford will cover $200 more than GM and for 3 months longer than GM. Plus the 0%.
GM needs to do 0% for 72 months on ALL vehicles. If they do that, they will sell cars. I may just sell my G8 to by a Camaro if they do that. |

Don't see how this would affect too many Camaro buyers though, most of us will be taking delivery after April 30th.

Why would they only offer it for 30 days? You have to wonder what they have planned. It's really hard not to be leery now a days about these things. Most of us will get our babies in May......Hmmm

Ummm..maybe becuase they have only 60 days to show economic viabilty to their new lords and masters on Capitol Hill? The next 30 days will be critical for GM.

I'd guess GM is hoping to unload a bunch of built cars the month of April.

I watched the news conference live. GM said their payment protection plan was for 08, 09 and 2010 models.
