I am looking at a SS right now, dealership is asking a great price with low miles. In the info it says this "We purchased this from the GM remarketing division (GM buyback) for a no start concern which has been repaired to Chevrolet standards and we are passing along the savings."

Anyone know what problem this would have been? I have tried searching but didn't find anything.

thanks

 

I would guess it was the remote start, if so equipped.

 

It's a GM buy-back SS. Bought back because customer stated it kept not starting.

 

Thanks guys.

 

I'm curious, what does the dealership consider a great price on this buyback vehicle

 

I sold GM car back in the 90s and every car sold that was a buyback ended up coming back in for service an unreal amount of times. If it were me, I would look for another car. The odds are against you on having a problem free a car that GM has already had to buyback from a customer that was so displeased he didn't want it anymore.
Good luck

 

I bought an 08 SS eight months ago. It's a GM buy-back. It had brakes problem. I bought it, had the TSB (add vacuum pump) done, and the car has been trouble free.

 

My husband is pushing towards this car, they are asking 15.5 for 11k miles on it. To me it is not worth the risk since I use my car for work, plus since the last time it was brought it it said dealer couldn't duplicate. So how do you fix something you can't recreate?

I am leaning towards another one in my prefered color. Why do they all the auto's have to be so far away. lol

 

15.5 sounds high for one with that many miles unless they'll give you a "new" warranty and a lifetime warranty on the no start problem. Somebody had enough problems with it to give it back to GM. Get the previous owners name.

Here in Wisconsin we have a lemon law for new vehicles. If the dealer can't fix it in three tries, the customer can file with the State. The manufacturer has to either refund the money or replace the vehicle and the original vehicle has to be destroyed. Most manufacturers will buy the vehicle back before the customer files a lemon law case. This allows the vehicle to be sold as a used vehicle so the lemon law doesn't apply.

 

Brake boost build up..nothing wrong with the brakes..
