How do you know this is a buy back? My understanding is that there would no longer be a warranty on a buy back vehicle.

3 of the picture's show a document that states the XLR was a buy back and the reason for said buyback. Also the remaining warranty is intact . What I found interesting is the reason for the Buy Back Robin

I also find it interesting that GM would not go the extra mile to find out what the real problem was and solve it.................way to go GM

Battery going dead for no reason. If I understand the Doc. The fix was replacing the Battery. In otherwords the problem was a BAD battery. That is what I found interesting. BUY A CAR BACK JUST BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS BAD. That is a dealer I would stay away from.

Actually, it says the problem was an "intermittent dead battery" so I guess it is similar to my "intermittent top failure". They also say "customer concerns not duplicated - vehicle is operating to specs at this time". My top also functioned within specs; most of the time....................
You never know, the original buyer may be a fleet-level purchaser whose business both GM and the dealer valued over the small amount they will actually lose in such a deal.
Buybacks are not that uncommon, however the dealer plays a large role and if you piss them off or they feel you are being unreasonable you will have a tough time of it.

Didn't notice that they replaced the battery, but it could have been an electrical draw on the battery that they couldn't find, therego, By Back.Battery going dead for no reason.
