It could simply be that the previous owner saw the opportunity to get a new C5 and let GM buy the car back. Then maybe on the very next try they fixed it!

GM bought the car back because of the key fobs and a window problem?
I don't know - but that sounds like
to me. I can't believe that they would buy a car back for that. The former owner must have been one gigantic P.I.T.A. and a whiner to convince GM that they had to refund his money over something that would not make the car undriveable.
If you are truly interested in this car - have Sponge Vette or someone run the car's VIN through the GM VIS for a service and origination report.

Buy Back on 1996 Blazer
Chevy bought my 1996 Blazer back because of a paint problem. The car was mechanically sound. It would have been a good buy for someone who wanted a new car with a paint job.

I looked at a car like that once. I got the entire gm repair history. It read like a novel.
