Re: What is irony? [Military Read Me]
I'm thinking you miss the whole "business" thing here. GM sells this stuff stateside and has dealer agreements with stateside dealers. Those dealer agreements are not necessarily the same as agreements with foreign dealers. If you were to have a warrantied issue in a foreign country, GM is not going to guarantee that the dealership will honor the US warranty.
This is common across the spectrum of products sold in the world, not just vehicles. There is too much corruption that can't be monitored internationally for an international company to have a system that covers every country's legal situation regarding business and consumer laws.
GM is not saying they will not honor the warranty. It's only saying that it will honor the warranty once the vehicle reaches US soil once again, IF the dealer in the foreign country DOES NOT submit it for warranty.
I believe if you read that part you will understand. You can buy and transport the vehicle and should you have a warrantied breakdown, it will be covered. Either by the the in country dealer or by a US dealer once in makes it back here.
If you have established residency outside the US. That's addressed as well.
Exporting is not the same as transporting and I would suggest you discuss it further with someone at a dealership instead of chunking the attitude around. This "irony" crap is not going to get you anywhere.
