Also, another point someone brought up, what if GM canned the 0% financing and replaced it with a 10 year warranty like Kia has. Would that be a better move for GM?

yep as long as it's bumper to bumper.

I'd love it, but I remember back in my days working in the Kitchen & Bath dept of a hardware store during school...

We sold Kohler faucets... probably the best you can by... they only had a one year warranty at the time. It was hard to sell someone a $250 faucet with a 1-year warranty, over a $50 faucet with a lifetime warranty....

Peopel would say "Why buy the expensive one? If it breaks I am screwed... the cheaper one much be better becuase it has a lifetime warranty.

I asked the Kohler rep about this, and he said their market research stated that when someone buys something with a long warranty, they view it as cheap and expect to have to fix it often...

If I am correct, Kohler now offers a lifetime warranty.

That was like 7-8 years ago when I worked there...

Just a different view on long warranties, I guess...
