New over used?

New. I paid $25,500 for a new leftover 2008 when I could get used 2008s all day for under $22,000.

Used cars are one thing. Used peformance cars are another. I've seen posts here for modded cars where people advised the seller to pull the aftermarket turbo because stock cars are easier to sell. True. I don't want to risk a quarter mile car or one that was previously modded. Not for a couple of grand. I want to know the history of the entire car. Mine had 100 likely brutal test-drive miles on the car, but then it likely got some wonderful heat cycles as well, so there you go...

I vote "new". Unless you are only keeping it 2 or 3 years, then who cares? I'm in for the long haul so a short term 3 grand savings was not going to be an issue to me. I've spent close to that in mods already, with my Kappasphere wheels, GMPP upgrade, backbone and JPM shifter.

Why doesn't the used car carry the same 5 year/100,000m mile factory powertrain warranty. That warranty should be good until at least 2012 if it was sold in 2007. What am I missing?

I'm sorry with all the confusion, the 3 year warranty ends December 2010 not in Febuary 2010.

However the power train warranty is still good for 5 years/100000 as jimbo said.
So the motor and all the power train components still have a lot of life left in them.

Hey guys/gals,

I work at a GM store. If you need me to pull a GM-VIS let me know and I can email it to you. This will give you the history of warranty repairs and all remaining warranty- per GM.

Good luck, I hope you find the right one!

With some of the Great Deals I'm reading about on purchases of New 2009's it would be difficult to determind which is the best way to go. Quite frankly I bought my 2009 GXP Slightly used (2016 miles) and paid $25,400. I though THAT was a great deal.
