GM lures big truck buyers

Amidst the continued surging up of fuel price would you still consider buying big trucks and SUVs? Most probably many of us won’t.

GM however in an attempt to boost their sales in trucks and SUVs has launched a new gimmick. They will be providing buyers from California and Florida with subsidized gasoline for a year. The giant automaker promises to cap the price of gas at $1.99 a gallon for new buyers of some of its 2006 and 2007 vehicles.

Mostly, SUVs are eligible for the GM rebate such as the 2006 and 2007 models of Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, the HUMMER H2 and H3 and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.

According to GM, consumers would be credited for the difference between the average price per gallon of premium fuel and the $1.99 price, adjusted for the miles they drive.

GM opted not to give discounts to their vehicles as it negatively affects their car’s resale value. So, helping prospective buyers with their fuel consumption would be a better choice for the automaker instead. I think that this is probably the next best strategy to lure buyers in choosing GM’s big trucks and SUVs.
