Now I know gm is having some good sales but give me a break if your about to go out of buisness sell some of this stuff and sell it cheap, your not going to be selling these gas guzzlers anyway so price them to move even if you loose some money at least you'll keep your doors open. Price them cheap and sell them with no warranty so they wont loose out even more in the end and if you want a warranty you'll have to pay for it.
This is the best advice given in the simplest analogy.. But do you think they will do that. nope. and why? GREED. The same reason they are in the situation they are in. The entire country is going to **** for this same reason.
