So i hear that FORD to help support their dealers , they are taking core charges away from majority of their inventory except for powertrain. How great is that ! what are the chances that this will float over to GM We all know the core system is a BS program anyway with majority of the core charges just another revenue avenue for the OEMS .

Especially when they short-change you on what you send back and the hoops that you have to go through to get it corrected.

I have over $9000 in new cores on the shelf and none of them are body parts

WTFF

At Toyota, I have about $600

i have roughly $16,000 in core charges on parts right now !! i would love for GM to follow this !!

Just take then off fascias t/lamps and headlamps would be fine with me.

Never ever happen. The General makes way too much money without having to do much of anything.

I would be happy with wheels.

It took GM a year to get onboard with charging for cores so it will take them 2 to quit!!

Ladies & Gentlemen: It generates instant cash flow for the General. It is not going anywhere. They could care less if or when you are reimbursed for your core returns.
