Re: What is irony? [Military Read Me]
As a GM employee, I can't say I agree with this policy, but I'm so low on the ladder it would make no differrence if I cared or not.

Re: What is irony? [Military Read Me]
I'm thinking you miss the whole "business" thing here. GM sells this stuff stateside and has dealer agreements with stateside dealers. Those dealer agreements are not necessarily the same as agreements with foreign dealers. If you were to have a warrantied issue in a foreign country, GM is not going to guarantee that the dealership will honor the US warranty.
This is common across the spectrum of products sold in the world, not just vehicles. There is too much corruption that can't be monitored internationally for an international company to have a system that covers every country's legal situation regarding business and consumer laws. GM is not saying they will not honor the warranty. It's only saying that it will honor the warranty once the vehicle reaches US soil once again, IF the dealer in the foreign country DOES NOT submit it for warranty. I believe if you read that part you will understand. You can buy and transport the vehicle and should you have a warrantied breakdown, it will be covered. Either by the the in country dealer or by a US dealer once in makes it back here. If you have established residency outside the US. That's addressed as well. Exporting is not the same as transporting and I would suggest you discuss it further with someone at a dealership instead of chunking the attitude around. This "irony" crap is not going to get you anywhere. |

I believe you may also be misinterpreting the word export.
If you buy the vehicle with the intent to move it out of country and sell it. This is exporting and the warenty will not transfer to the new buyer. Here also export taxes and laws come into affect. You on the other hand are an active duty member tempoarily station outside the US on orders from the government. You are buying and moving the vehicel overseas for personal use with the intent of having the vehicle return with you to the US when your tour of duty is terminated. I believe the export laws do not apply in this case. Stop by your legal office and ask them for an interpretation and advice. then stop by a local GM dealer and ask about how you go about getting warenty work performed or if they will be willing to do it. Most importantly... You are NOT exporting the vehicle. You legal office can tell you what the legal term is here. Use them that's what they are there for. Good Luck and let us know the outcome. I'm retired Air Force. The torch is now yours. PS; That sucks GM has pulled out of AAFES, but it doesn't suprise me. AAFES can come up with some pretty strainge rules. |

Re: What is irony? [Military Read Me]
I have expressed my opinion of GM's policy. However, you work near Hummvees built by AM General, you are trying to purchase a Hummer manufactured by GM; there is a big difference, they are two separate corporate entities.
Evidently, there was a reason GM dropped out of the military program. Not sure why, didn't even know they did until I read the other thread you made a mention of this on; as well as this thread. Good luck... |
