The Big One GMAC Gone

According to a reliable source, the spinoff of GMAC has begun! This is not official, or confirmed, but I have learned that high level GMAC execs have completed transfer agreement of pensions and benefits to the "new owner". This will make a fine addition to my nearly completed new book "Self-Destruction at General Motors". MR. Wagoner has to go, NOW! Soon you will also see Buickman on TV, revealing much more than you could even imagine. If they think Wilmington was my grandstand, they are grossly in error.

Re: The Big One GMAC Gone

I assume by selling GMAC, they will make money on it...

They've been talking about doing this for quite a while, no?

Adventures of Buickman

Faster than a speeding Corvette,
More powerful than a Red Tag Sale,
Able to leap GM management with a single plan

Look out on the lot,
It's a customer,
It's a mechanic,
It's Buickman!

Yes, it's Buickman, strange salesman from another state, who came to Flint with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal GM executives. Buickman, who can change the course of market share, bend incentives with his basic strategy; and who, disguised as Jim Dollinger, successful salesman for a Mid-Michigan dealership, fights a never ending battle for sales, profits, and the American Way (jobs, pensions, and benefits).

The WHOLE of GMAC or a part?

According to GM spokesman GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corp is for sale.

Residential Capital Corp is in the process of selling bonds to pay some debt to GMAC..

I take it your call for proxies did not go as planned.

I notice that Wagoner is still in the Renaissance Center and you are still "here"...

Superhero... did the suacer men give you your hero suit?

Can't see it. The auto loan biz is too intertwined with auto sales biz to be able to sell off as an independent company. Profit/loss at GMAC is but a pen stoke away in how GM deals with the accounting of incentives.

As Possum said, it's the commerical mortgage unit that's been on the block and is most likely to find a new home.
