GM OPTIMUM ADVANTAGE




Something New in Pre-Owned Vehicles

Buying a pre-owned vehicle can be a wise and worry-free experience when you buy from GM. You'll enjoy a vehicle that's new to you, and you'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle has been carefully selected, meticulously inspected, and is covered by a series of GM factory-backed warranties. Reduce the risk associated with buying used.

When you buy an Optimum Certified Used Vehicle, you'll get standard features you won't find anywhere else, like a manufacturer's backed warranty, a 150+ point inspection of the vehicle, an exchange privilege and 24-hour roadside assistance. When you think about it, buying an Optimum Certified Used Vehicle just makes sense.




Each Optimum Certified Used Vehicle has been meticulously
inspected by licensed technicians before it reaches the sales floor.
During the inspection process, each vehicle must pass a minimum
of 150 points, ensuring that the vehicle is in excellent condition
inside and out.  Plus, regular maintenance is performed and faulty
components are repaired or replaced.
A GM-trained technician performs the 150+ point inspection on
every Optimum Certified Used Vehicle.

When shopping for a used vehicle, it's important to understand who
is providing the warranty coverage to the vehicle you're considering.
All Optimum vehicles come with warranty coverage backed by the
manufacturer.  A manufacturer's warranty ensures your vehicle will
be serviced by qualified technicians who use factory-approved parts.
This isn't always the case with third party aftermarket warranties
sometimes offered in the used car industry.
All Optimum Used Vehicles feature a minimum of 3 months or
5,000km (whichever comes first) Used Vehicle Limited Warranty;
and that's standard.  If your budget permits, you can extend or
upgrade to an even more comprehensive Optimum Used Vehicle
Protection Plan.  You'll also appreciate the convenience of being
able to transfer any existing warranties to a new owner, should you
ever decide to sell your Optimum vehicle.
For complete coverage details, contact our Capital GMC Finance Department today.


All Optimum Vehicles feature a minimum 3 months or 5,000km
(whichever comes first) of 24-hour Roadside Assistance.  That
includes trip interruption coverage and trip routing service to help
you quickly find your way.
You're covered by GM Roadside Assistance if your Optimum
Vehicle is still within the manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty period.

If your manufacturer's warranty-covered non-GM vehicle does not
offer a Roadside Assistance program, GM will provide 3 months
or 5,000km (whichever comes first) of GM Roadside Assistance
from the date of your Optimum Vehicle purchase.

If your Optimum Certified Used Vehicle has less than 3 months
and 5,000km of remaining manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, General Motors will provide an additional 3 months
or 5,000km (whichever comes first) of GM Roadside Assistance
once your remaining manufacturer's New Vehicle Limited Warranty
expires.

To receive Roadside Assistance, simply call 1-800-268-6800 and
a service operator will be dispatched to the scene.  If your vehicle
can't be repaired onsite, it will be towed to the nearest GM Dealership
or GM authorized repair facility.  If you need to pull your vehicle out
of mud or snow, you're covered for winching service, up to $100 per
occurrence.

If your vehicle is disabled and you are a minimum of 250km from
home, a Trip Interruption reimbursement allowance will be provided
to help pay for:
  • Reasonable expenses (meals and lodging) up to a maximum
    of $195 per day, and/or
  • Alternate transportation up to a combined maximum of $500
    per incident
All Roadside Assistance Plans also include a no-charge Trip
Routing Service, providing you with:
  • Suggested travel routes
  • Points of interest
  • Maps

Roadside Assistance and Trip Interruption coverage doesn't apply to:

  • Vehicles operated off-road
  • Fines or impound charges caused by a violation of local,
    Municipal, Provincial, or Federal Law
  • The mounting, dismounting, or changing of snow tires, chains,
    or other traction devices
  • Disablement or services resulting from physical damage to
    your vehicle
  • Total or partial theft of your vehicle
  • Expenses that are covered under any other program






Vehicle Exchange Privilege

If, for any reason, you're not completely satisfied with your
Optimum Used Vehicle you may exchange it within the first 30 days
or 2,500 kilometers, whichever comes first, of the date of purchase
for any other eligible Optimum Vehicle. If the purchase price of the
replacement vehicle is less than the purchase price of the vehicle
being returned, you'll receive credit for the difference. If the purchase
price of the replacement vehicle is more, you simply pay the
difference.

Eligibility

Unless indicated by your Dealer, all Optimum Vehicles are
eligible for the Exchange Privilege during the first 30 days or
2,500 kilometers of ownership. However, the exchanged vehicle
has to meet the following criteria:
  • The vehicle must currently be owned or leased by the retail purchaser/lessee of the Optimum Certified Used Vehicle.
  • The vehicle must be returned in the condition in which it was
    delivered to the customer, without damage or excessive wear
    and tear.

Vehicle Inspection

Every vehicle returned under the Exchange Privilege will be
inspected for damage and excessive wear and tear. If non-warranty
repairs equal to or greater than $300 have been performed or are
necessary, the vehicle is not eligible to be returned. If less than
$300, the damage repair estimate will be deducted from the
credit amount applied to the returned vehicle.

Valuation of the Returned Vehicle

The "Agreed Upon Exchange Value" will be used in determining
the refund value to be applied to the replacement vehicle.

Exchange and Wait Provision

If a customer exchanges a vehicle under the Exchange Privilege
and waits for a replacement vehicle instead of choosing one from
the dealer's available inventory, the selling dealer will not provide
alternate transportation or allow a customer to keep the original
vehicle while the replacement vehicle is secured.

Exclusions

The One Time Exchange Privilege excludes the following
vehicle:
  • Fleet purchase vehicles.
  • Vehicles used for livery, daily rental, hearse, taxi,
    limousine, snowplowing or delivery services.
  • The customer has previously returned a vehicle under
    the Optimum Certified Used Vehicles One Time 30 Day
    or 2,500 Kilometer Exchange Privilege within a period
    of 12 months commencing on the return date of that previously returned vehicle
  • Optimum Vehicles that have had after-market accessories
    installed (e.g., radio or alarm system) unless installation
    was performed or sublet by the selling Optimum Dealer.
