General Motors, Car Sales | featured news

Chevrolet is trying to pull more customers into its dealerships this summer by offering a money-back guarantee on new cars and trucks. The General Motors brand said Tuesday that buyers can get refunds if they return their 2012 or 2013 vehicles for any reason. The guarantee lasts for up to 60 days from the date of purchase, and the offer ends Sept. 4. Chevy Marketing Chief Chris Perry says research shows that customers like it when companies show confidence in their cars and trucks.
