Need GMPP
Hello guys. Just contacted a local stealership here in Tallahassee and asked them about purchasing a GMPP for my '03 coupe. The guy emailed me and said that since I didn't purchase the car from them, they would not offer me a GMPP. He told me I could sell the car to them, then buy it back from them, then I would have a warranty, but would incur all sorts of dealer-related taxes. I told him "no thanks." I've heard that some members have purchased GMPP's from Ken Fitchner. Would this be a good route for me to pursue? I should have known these hicks here would be of no help whatsoever....anyway, any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Give Dennis Fichtner at Fichtner Chevy a call and discuss with him. If it can be done, he would be the one to go with.

maybe I'm lucky but I bought my 01 last year about 30 minutes away from where I live...
a month later I bought a GMPP major guard at a local dealer...
They had no problem selling it to me.
I just spoke to a Finance guy...
Good Luck

I'm actually a future Vette owner. I'm hoping to get one around the first of the year. Since I'm up here for school, I have all the work on my car done by our mechanic back in my hometown of Brooksville. He's much more reasonably priced than any dealership and does better work. I had a power steering leak and took my car to one of the Firestone dealers up here in town since they are open on the weekend and they wanted almost $500 to fix it.

I think GM reserves the right not to issue a GMPP on this basis (depending on the known service history of a car) but can and will issue them at their discretion so long as there is at least 90 days remaining on an existing GMPP. Contact Dennis Fichtner.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
