I've been involved with quite a few buyback vehicles and honestly 3/4 of them are just nitpicky customers. Not saying this is the case with the OP, but it does happen.
Many people do it because they can't afford the vehicle, they want another vehicle or they simply want the same vehicle in an SS, a different color, etc.

Did you look at that GMC Envoy's "rap sheet"? Maybe the previous owner had a long list or defects that were fixed before you bought it, and it spent a ton of time in the shop....... or maybe you just don't notice the clunky transmission, or you think "that's the way they all are." And the fact that you had a problem with a buy-back vehicle doesn't surprise me. They took my Camaro back, and not everything was fixed. Who knows what they're going to do with it before they re-sell it.
There is a presumption that when you buy a brand new vehicle, that you wont have to take it back to the dealer once or twice a month for repairs. And that is where my Camaro stood out from every other.
