still no clue what it is

PEP Car Eligibility
You must be a GM employee, GM employee's spouse, GM employee's child (25 years of age or under and still living at home). To purchase a PEP Vehicle.

You must be at least a level eight working for GM to qualify for a "Drive and Buy" PEP vehicle.

I don't know what a pep car is, but that on the front page counts me out.

What is a PEP vehicle and who qualifies?

PEP vehicles are company owned and driven by GM executives for a specific time/mileage and are then sold or leased to GM employees and their eligible family members.

so...essentially the same as buying a rental. you'll get a car that some executive treated like sh!t for X years and then demanded a new one.

I always laugh at the term "executive car" because it leads people to think that some wealthy, conservative old guy was pampering the car and taking great care of it. In reality, they're just demos and loaners.

what i was asking if i can get one .
do you think it be worth the added hassle .i do get a A/B GM employee discount. so to take a prep car for the extra discount and used miles is it really worth the diffrents ?

wife and mine thought's at the moment .
her car payed off -2002 saturn vue 60,000 miles . for her to get a new car .i keep the vue as mine ,and my work truck just be that .im not sure i even need a work truck in 2 years .so why replace it just drive the thing till it drops or we make are move to florida and sell whats left of it . it only has 110,000 miles on it but also has 2 hella coils in the no.5,6 plug and the body is rusting away. also to buy a new truck and set it up cost more then about any car she buy or want . and for 2-4 years use out of a new work truck its just not worth it $$$$$$ wise .

do you have to take pep cars to PEP boys for parts and service?
