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.

I've seen the GMC Envoy rap sheet and I owned 3 of them. I owned them from 2002 through 2008 when I bought my Hummer. I didn't have the laundry list of any of them that most people do. Of course, I get a new vehicle every 3 years for the family so perhaps I got rid of them before trouble started, but over the last 10 years I've bought 12 GM vehicles and I don't have my cars in for warranty work much at all.
On the buyback Envoy, I actually had the complete listing of reasons that it was bought back for and honestly the things that person complained about I never had a problem with and these problems were documented by the customer as still existing when they sold it back to GM!
And I know about the problems on most of the vehicles as I work at the dealership and I run GM Parts House from the dealership. The fact of the matter is, there are some lemons out there.
