Default GMPP News

Well as of now not only are all dealers done selling GMPP's in Florida but now California and Maryland. GMPP is to be sold by a dealer licensed in the State of California only and GMPP must be incidental to the sale or lease of the vehicle. In other words you must buy the GMPP on day of purchase of your vehicle or you will be unable to get one. Internet sales of GMPP to California customers are not allowed.

This is the exact email I just got from GMPP so to my thousands of great friends and customers of GMPP purchases over the years in California we will still be friends but no longer customers.

For all of you wanting GMPP quotes in other states from this point forward I will need the VIN, Exact Miles and state you are in. There are state specific requirements that I need to send to you and then you have to sign a letter and send back to me for my file stating you understand these requirements.

Should this say "not"?

Are they going to grandfather in vehicles on the road now that are still under warranty or are you SOL?

Caught my typing error but thank you for also catching it, no grandfathering in that I can see. I already have about 20-30 customers contacting the insurance commissioners office in California to see what can be done with this.

I am in California and have an existing GMPP on my Z06. Do you know if this means I won't be able to buy an extension once my current one expires? Even at a California dealer?

I called GMPP and asked about this. They seemed perplexed and had to go ask someone up the food chain. The final word I got was that you have to take the car to the dealer (anywhere in the U.S. they told me) so they can verify the mileage and VIN. As long as your current warranty is in force, you can get a GMPP (from a dealer). Sounds like they are as confused as we are.

How about my situation. I am military so have mine registered in VA but will renew its registration in FL. So, If I get the GMPP while still registered in VA, THEN renew in FL will I still be under the coverage? Don't ask where the physical location will be; I'm all over the place.

Here is the exact wordage from GMPP to me:

California Exception Language
What This Agreement Does Not Cover
e) Caused by a condition that existed prior to purchase of this Agreement, or if the odometer has
stopped or been changed;
Your Responsibilities
YOU must properly maintain the covered VEHICLE as recommended by the VEHICLE manufacturer. If requested,
proof of required service, including receipts and work orders showing date and mileage of the VEHICLE at the
time of service, must be presented to US in the event of a FAILURE or CLAIM.
Appraisal of Loss
The Appraisal of Loss section is not applicable.
Agreement Cancellation and Refunds
To cancel this Agreement, return with this Agreement to YOUR selling dealer. The dealer will assist with YOUR
cancellation request and verify the VEHICLE'S mileage. If YOU need additional assistance call OUR toll free number
1-800-631-5590.
If YOU cancel within sixty (60) days of YOUR purchase, the entire purchase price will be refunded unless YOU have
made a CLAIM. If YOU have made a CLAIM or if YOU cancel more than sixty (60) days after the purchase date, the
unused portion of the purchase price, less an administration fee of $25 or ten percent (10%) of the purchase price,
whichever is less, will be refunded to YOU or a person authorized by YOU to receive it for YOUR account within thirty (30)
days of the date this Agreement is canceled. The amount of refund will be prorated using the lesser of days or miles of
coverage remaining. WE will not subtract the COST of a CLAIM, if any, from YOUR refund.
If WE cancel, WE will give YOU five (5) days notice of cancellation, and state the specific reason for cancellation.
Insurance Disclosure

State Disclosure
GMAC Service Agreement Corporation's Provider License No. is 0C64527.
WE will deliver YOUR Agreement to YOU within sixty (60) days after YOU purchase this Agreement.


Again exact words from GMPP:

Chart from GMPP state that if you live in California you must get a sample agreement before purchase, VSC must be sold by Licensed Dealer in State, VSC must be incidental to sale or lease of Vehicle and you must be provided with a State Specific Form.

Just called the finance officer at Paradise Chev in Ventura, CA (largest in the county) who handles the GMPP for the dealer and he has not seen this. Gave me the same rules that have always applied, if you're within your B-B warranty, you can purchase a GMPP when within 2 mos or 2K miles (?) of expiration. Maybe he's late getting it??? He did say the rules have changed for "Certified" vehicles, but that happend a couple of years ago. Said he's been selling GMPPs (one today) and hasn't been getting any kick backs.

He can sell GMPP's because he is at a dealer in California, as in Florida if you live in California or Florida you must buy from a dealer in your state.

As stated by GMPP, GMPP must be sold by licensed dealer in California, GMPP sale must be incidental to sale or lease of Vehicle and you must be provided with State Specific Form.

I'm in the same boat. Can I extend my GMPP I bought from you before it runs out as it is an older policy?

Thanks

He told me that I could get a GMPP when I needed it when the time comes in about 8 mos, no restrictions. He hasn't seen the restriction on purchasing a GMPP incidental to sale or lease.

Realistically, in early 2016...I'm gonna pull the heads, do a mild cam, and dyno tune the car. This just helps me sway my decision in that direction.
