In other words, someone convinced someone to buy this vehicle back and there really was no reason to.

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.
It really doesn't surprise me a bit that someone would try to do this ,but what does surprise me ,is that GM or any car company wouldn't make sure it really was an unrepairable car before buying it back.
