For $500, GM wants my C8 for 4 weeks and up to 150 miles.

Huge pass, no way I can go 4 weeks without my car.

That would be the deal of a century at only $17.85 daily rental cost for a C8.

CaptainFester

they must be joking... no one at gm could be that dumb to think anyone is doing that... they can rent the one near me off Turo for 250 a day...

And, in return you get... ... ??? GM again at its finest regarding it's customers.

This is a scam.

I thought so too, but it's legit:

Yeah, a program targeted at someone in a Malibu who thinks "Wow, I can drive a new car for 30 days and they'll pay my lease payment this month. This is my lucky day!".

Not going to work at the Corvette owner level.

Don't they trust the onboard readout? I'm sure they have it like everyones'.

Why don’t they just use Spystar to tell them how the car is running? The “emissions test” for state inspection is done my plugging into the car? If the car has the data why do they need to take physical possession? Are they saying the onboard diagnostics don’t work?

It might be an ok deal if they also give you an extended 8 year drivetrain warrantee.

I did it with my C6 since it needed a steering rack [old one had a minor leak] which was on backorder and predicted to be in-stock a month and a half later. The car would be sitting in my garage waiting for the part so instead I put it to good use. They picked up the car for research on a dyno, dropped off a loaded Camaro and a week later returned the car after being detailed. They paid me about $1,000 and everyone was happy.

And now that Vettes cost twice as much they are offering half as much or in today's dollars, an oil change.

tadda

I received a few notifications like this in the past for my C7...It was a hard pass!

Vetteman Jack

I have received a similar letter before. Did not accept it.

Tell Mary Barra to take the $500 and shove it up her…………mouth. Sam

MikeFloyd

Doesn't GM already have some of these?

Jcgreen

GM sent the same letter to my son regarding emissions testing they also offered a rental car.

jthornton

Must be a scam, GM has all the C8's they need for testing.

Regardless if you paid cash, GM needs to look at today’s average Auto Loan rate at 48 months on your car and what it costs you per month to own and THAT would be the starting point.

$500…How can they offer that with a straight face? Ridiculous and insulting.

Bob Paris

You're missing the point. To validate that typical cars are "within spec" you test random cars that are owned by a party not affiliated with the company whose product is being tested. If you tested cars provided by the company that is being examined, they could have conceivably been tampered with to achieve the desired results. Can you say VW diesel-gate?
