If the car isn't paid for, see if they will make a payment for you, since you don't ahve the car.


I would just get the new engine and drive her that way.
Would that be something I ask the dealer or GM?? I do unfortunately owe money on it.

Yes ALWAYS! I believe it is 93 octane where I normally get gas. This problem just started and it has 9,000 miles so I'm sure it isn't a issue with using lower octane gas.

That is what I was wondering, I have no intentions on selling it ever if possible so it shouldn't really matter I guess. And as for documents I keep every maintenance paper and any other paperwork that I receive.

Thanks for the input guys, makes me feel a little better! Still playing the waiting game, right now it is up to GM to make a decision to either keep looking for the problem or go another route.
