HELP on a used Escalade

[ohiosrt10]

What exactly does this mean:

"This is a General Motors Customer Dissatisfaction Buyback Title vehicle that was re-purchased due to a no-start issue. The vehicle has been repaired by General Motors and is completely covered under the original factory Bumper to Bumper Warranty!"

Is this a vehicle that was bought back due to some type of "Lemon Law"? What are the chances there will be more or similar recurring problems. This seems like a pretty good deal, however, I don't wanna spend that kinda $$$ and end up with another lemon myself. Here is the actual link:

Any input from some of you experts would be appreciated. Anyone have a CARFAX report available? Thanks in advance...

Depending on the state, for a vehicle to fall under the "Lemon Law" it has to have the same problem happen a set number of times in a certain period of time. The dealership has an opportunity to remedy the problem at each occurrence until the "Lemon Law" card is played which sometimes includes the assistance of a lawyer.

If your interested in this vehicle I would have them tell me exactly what was causing the no start problem and how it was repaired (get documentation). Even then I don't know how comfortable I'd be making that purchase. It is a beautiful truck though. Another question to ask is if the problem continues, do you have the ability to claim "Lemon Law" or is that forfeit since this vehicle has already been through that process.

Remember the old saying. You get what you pay for.

What this means is that the vehicle meet Lemon Law presumption but the customer never filed. General motors opted to repurchase the vehicle before that occured. This avoids the manufacturer from having to brand the title.

So your saying that GM/dealership bought the vehicle back from the customer before they filed Lemon Law papers on it. That's amazing. I didn't think they would do such a thing unless cornered and forced to do so.

The manufactures rather do this than brand the title and take a bigger loss, especially if they sell the vehicle off at an auction and have to disclose the vehicle has been branded as a Lemon.

Great info.. thanks. Perhaps someone will be able to come up with a CarFax. I'd love to see how it "reads" based on this Escalade's history. Still seems like a great deal since it's under warranty (at least, until GM's offiicial bankruptcy... )
