General Motors is getting serious about used car sales. Starting June 1, the automaker will begin giving pre-owned shoppers up to one year or 12,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage (even on a non-GM product) as a way to shore up vehicle sales in its dealer network amid rising new-vehicle costs. There is some bad news, however. The traditional GM Certified Pre-Owned program will go away for Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC models, meaning the extended 10-year/100,000-mile warranty is no more unless you go for a used Cadillac – time to swing for that Escalade.
