#1 of 7 GMPP Wholesaler...? by lightning23 Jan 03, 2009 (9:32 am)
When inquiring about extended warranties in these forums some time ago, the name and website of a dealership in Penn. was given as a wholesaler whose prices on the GM Protection Plans were very attractive (Black Pontiac Cadillac GM Outlet ~ http://www.gmoutlet.com ) My question is this: has anyone ever conducted business with them and if so - how was the experience? The western Pennsylvania BBB site has them listed as not receiving any complaints ("...does not have an unusual volume or pattern of complaints, or any government actions involving its marketplace conduct. The BBB understands and has no concerns about the business' products services and type of business. The BBB processed no complaints about this business in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period.)   Does anyone have any information they could add in regards to this dealer OR any other options to purchase the GMPP (at attractive prices?).   Best Regards,   Brian Replies to this message: hawkman (Jan 03, 2009 11:23 am) lightning23 (Jan 03, 2009 12:57 pm) wlbrown9 (Jan 05, 2009 10:34 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: lightning23 (Jan 03, 2009 9:32 am) Funny you should mention them bacause I was going to (probably still will in a few months) get their warranty. I haven't heard anything negative or positive about them, BUT - the GM warranty is like a store product insomuch as it doesn't matter where you get it - it will be honored at any GM dealership service department. Asumming of course that they (GM) stay in business.   Thanks for the question. Anyone buy from them?

Replying to: hawkman (Jan 03, 2009 11:23 am) For what it is worth - I made the rounds this afternoon to some local GM dealerships in regards to GMPP prices (as my intent was, if at all possible, to support a local business before going to one out of state). Out of 3 dealerships I stopped at 1 stopped just short of calling me a liar when I told him of the wholesalers price and wouldn't work with me any more (and I won't be going back there again!), the second suggested that I buy a new car as to get further warranty coverage (uh, sure) and the 3rd was willing to work with me on the pricing and ended up matching the wholesalers price - much to my surprise!   Lesson learned: give the local businesses a chance, be honest and cordial with them and see what they are willing to do!   -Brian Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Jan 05, 2009 10:34 am) lightning23 (Jan 05, 2009 12:22 pm) wlbrown9 (Jan 08, 2009 1:10 pm)

Replying to: lightning23 (Jan 03, 2009 12:57 pm) One difference. Here in TN if you buy locally, even if they match the sales prices, you pay 9.125% sales tax. So, just assuming round figures, your $1000 GMPP bought locally totals $1091.25 while buying off the internet out of state costs you $1000...of course, most states require that you send them the tax on out of state purchases, so it would be even Replies to this message: lightning23 (Jan 05, 2009 12:22 pm) wlbrown9 (Jan 08, 2009 1:10 pm)

Replying to: wlbrown9 (Jan 05, 2009 10:34 am) The sales tax scenario you bring up is one I didn't even think of. Thankfully we are fortunate that here in Minnesota there is no tax on Warranty/Service contracts!   Good reading: http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/r-article-a-2604-m-2-sc-59-sales_tax_on_the_inter- net_who_pays_it_who_doesnt-i Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Jan 08, 2009 1:10 pm)

Replying to: lightning23 (Jan 05, 2009 12:22 pm) Yep... Every state is pretty much different on taxes. TN is fortunate that we have been able to avoid having a state INCOME tax so the sales tax is high to try and make up for that.
