Speaking for myself, "Old GM" versus "New GM" had absolutely nothing to do with when I purchased. Finding the best deal (which at the time meant nothing over MSRP) and saving up for a decent down payment had everything to do with it, and as it happened everything came together at just the right time to get chicklets but not sensors.
The engineering and manufacturing of the car didn't change. Do we really have to worry about not only brand loyalty around here, not only loyalty to the brand's parent, but also loyalty to which side of the bankruptcy line the car was bought from the brand's parent? Why don't we narrow it down to a preferred day of the week and a preferred worker on the assembly line, to further arbitrarily rarefy certain cars?
I like my chicklets on my car, but let's be honest, aside from identifying early-run cars from later ones - a minor bit of obscure future trivia, at best - the added value of these things doesn't go beyond what the individual owner says it adds - which is fine so long as it's your car, but unless you find a really easily-impressed sucker to sell it to or have a very low mileage, very early production (The first hundred or so, maybe, for anyone to actually care?), you won't be able to get anything more for your money.
