Subject: GM Dealership Employee Discount for Family
——————————————————————————–
Beginning Monday December 8, 2008, GM is offering a temporary program allowing GM Dealership Employees the opportunity to offer GMS (Employee Discount) pricing to the same eligible family members that GM Employees do.

This means that GM Dealership employees can offer GMS pricing to their spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, stepgrandchildren, grandparents (including in-law and step), parents, stepparents, siblings (including full, half and step), mother/father in-law, sons/daughter in-laws, brothers/sisters in-law, and same sex domestic partner (SSDP) where applicable (NOTE: Eligible SSDPs are treated the same as spouses, and therefore, their dependent children and stepchildren are also included).

Eligible family members must take delivery by January 5, 2009 and may only purchase GM vehicles that the employing dealership location is franchised to sell or from GM dealerships owned by the sponsoring Dealer Operator at the time of delivery. The program excludes Saab vehicles.

To get an authorization number for your family member, log in to gmded.com and select “Dealership Employee Discount for Family” along the left. Enter your eligible family member’s date of birth and zip code and get you authorization number

Authorization numbers for this program must be submitted for payment to BARS by January 5, 2009.

    Saab has always been excluded in GM promotions- an annoyance because I accumulated a lot of 'points' on GM credit card. Don't ask me why...

    I should get something back for my bailout bucks. Okay GM, where's my Christmas present, dammit? She had better not be a GM car, and she'd better be wearing a pretty red bow. Uhhh, maybe I should be more specific than that...

  • Brandon I would vote for my 23 Escape ST-Line with the 2.0L turbo and a normal 8 speed transmission instead of CVT. 250 HP, I average 28 MPG and get much higher on trips and get a nice 13" sync4 touchscreen. It leaves these 2 in my dust literally
  • JLGOLDEN When this and Hornet were revealed, I expected BOTH to quickly become best-sellers for their brands. They look great, and seem like interesting and fun alternatives in a crowded market. Alas, ambitious pricing is a bridge too far...
  • Zerofoo Modifications are funny things. I like the smoked side marker look - however having seen too many cars with butchered wire harnesses, I don't buy cars with ANY modifications. Pro-tip - put the car back to stock before you try and sell it.
  • JLGOLDEN I disagree with the author's comment on the current Murano's "annoying CVT". Murano's CVT does not fake shifts like some CVTs attempt, therefore does not cause shift shock or driveline harshness while fumbling between set ratios. Murano's CVT feels genuinely smooth and lets the (great-sounding V6) engine sing and zing along pleasantly.
  • JLGOLDEN Our family bought a 2012 Murano AWD new, and enjoyed it for 280K before we sold it last month. CVT began slipping at 230K but it was worth fixing a clean, well-cared for car. As soon as we sold the 2012, I grabbed a new 2024 Murano before the body style and powertrain changes for 2025, and (as rumored) goes to 4-cyl turbo. Sure, the current Murano feels old-school, with interior switchgear and finishes akin to a 2010 Infiniti. That's not a bad thing! Feels solid, V6 sounds awesome, and the whole platform has been around long enough that future parts & service wont be an issue.
