Does anyone work for GM???

18 years ago

I am trying despertely to find someone who works for General Motors.

We have bought a new ton truck and a man was going to give us a employee discount and now that the truck has came in he has backed out and I know no one else around here to get this employee discount from. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

Yep, about one in four ; )

What's the problem? That should have been finalized already. If not, the deals off. You don't have to buy it.

Offer invoice, maybe a couple hundred over. Bought our '98 Dodge using chryslers' employee discount formerly known as the green sheet program. Got it for invoice, no haggling. The no haggling was the real advantage. Others were getting the vehicle for the same price or close too it. They just had to fight for hours to get it is all. GM is probably similar but I don't know.

I would imagine your friend realized that he could possibly lose his job if he got a GMS discount for someone who isn't eligible for it. Seems like a good reason to back out. On the other hand it shouldn't have been offered in the first place. So I am thinking that you gave them a deposit and now they have you over a barrel. If not walk away.

Good Luck

I looked at Raven and had to set it aside as it was too cool for what I was looking for, so it might be just right for you!

I got a like on this thread that brought it back up. Let me tell you what I determined. I got the jets clear with the descaler and two treatments. The unit was making ice. Just really slowly. From what I had read elsewhere, I took a chance and looked on Craig's List for a used unit. This put me in touch with a service guy who salvaged and repaired units when homeowner's declared them DOA. I contacted him and he suggested that I give the unit 36 to 48 hours from start up to assess the unit's ability to produce ice. I ended up letting it run for 48 hours. Sure enough, after 48 hours I had a little over a half tub of ice. He had some thoughts on why it was so slow and was willing to make an exchange for a similar unit that he had already repaired and give me a three months warranty with a trade in of my old ice machine. After the 48 hour test, I decided to keep my original unit. It works, just slowly. My plan is to only use it if we have a party. I didn't want to use it for everyday use. I'll just run it every six months or so to keep everything in good order. If I have guests or a party, I will go buy a bag of ice and throw it in the bin. Here is the bottom line. Find a guy on Craig's List that refurbishes ice machines. They are out there. See what kind of deal you can work.

I agree with Rebecca, those pieces look far too large. If there are no suitable products for you to buy locally and you're looking for an online source, some members on this forum (including myself) buy Zoomed ReptiBark, which can be bought online through Amazon or Chewy (cheaper). Here's the link: https://www.chewy.com/zoo-med-premium-repti-bark-natural/dp/123790

Bill, did you get the GM Supplier and Friend discount or did you get the GMS discount. Gm is encouraging employes to pass along the GM Supplier and Friend discount not the GMS discount. GMS is only for eligible famlily members. And when you Obtain an Authorization number you have to check off what relation that person is to you. Hope you have good luck with your new Impala.

hey jd thought you would like that. its not my 1st new g.m. product, but 1st new one in the last 15 yrs. will see how it works out. i expect it to be every bit as trouble free as my last 2 hyundais, if not it will be the last new g.m. product. at my age i only have about 2 more new cars in me. i dont know for sure on the dicount, i know it involved a code, then the dealer filled out some paper work and i signed it, and my neighbor had to sign it also. ??
