Buying a new car and discounts

[LdiJ]

The buyer has to register with gm. If the buyer lies, it’s fraud
The agreement is between gm and the buyer. The dealer merely allows the transfer through their dealership


It doesn’t appear the salesman could have done this without prior knowledge This is part of what is required to register for,the discount




Upload military documents or check military records

Seems like the buyer is pretty involved in registering for the discount.


So the buyer must register with this Id.me site which is associated with the federal government. If op committed fraud when registering he may have a lot of issues more serious than this $600 being discussed.

And this is where it all gets fuzzy. With the military discount program the price is set by the manufacturer. The dealer can add $75.00 for doc fees to that price. There is no $600 discount because there is no discount listed The price is what gm says it is. That is why I believed it to be a rebate rather than the military discount program

Like usual you jump to unsupported conclusions. It isn’t clear where the $600 even comes from yet you have this solved. Good work Sherlock

And your conclusion is supported how?

My conclusion is the op needs to read his contracts and if he has actually used the gm military discount improperly determine how that plays,into this. That is they only true conclusion I’ve come to and I believe it to be self evident.


I don’t have answers for the op. I have places he needs to go to research the issue. Not enough info has been given here to make any real conclusions as to whether the dealer even has a claim to the $600 because it’s not clear where it comes from.

If the OP does come back, it might be helpful if he clarifies some of the issues that have been discussed in the thread.

Thanks to all for your comments. I put an ad on a facebook group and was able to find a teacher. Now the salesman says that "All is well" No more problems. I paid the teacher $50 for helping me.

You either lied to GM or are lying to us. You are not eligible for the educator discount, even if you get a random person who happens to be a teacher to go to the dealership with you.

So you were successful in perpetrating the scam?


Don’t be surprised if this one fails as well. The rules for the educators discount are basically the same as the military discount.
I am curious how you titled the vehicle in your name since only the registered party can purchase the cars. They must retain ownership for at least 6 months before disposing of them.

What can I say? The dealer said if I could find a teacher then I could get the discount. What the salesman is doing to get me this teacher discount is unknown to me.

I didn't do a scam. The dealer said get a teacher, get a discount. So I guess the dealer is doing the scam.

Well, the buyer has to register for the discounted group (veterans or teachers) with gm and that is who can purchase the car, in their name. Utilizing the discount knowing you are not entitled to it makes you complicit in the fraud so simply saying “I gues the dealer is doing the scam” doesn’t vindicate you. In fact it implicates you since you are aware things are not above board yet you are continuing on with the deal.

Wow. The lengths people will go to try to save a buck. It’s amazing.

What an idiotic posting ^. You don't seem to get that GM very well may sniff out the fraud you and dealer committed and file a criminal complaint along with a civil suit.
