General Motors will conduct periodic audits to ensure the integrity of The Program. Participants may
be asked to furnish documentation supporting their eligibility with these rules. Documentation of
Program eligibility may include:
- A current paystub
- School ID badge
Participants may be asked to furnish documentation supporting the eligibility of sponsored purchasers
in compliance with these rules. Documents requested may include, but are not limited to, copies of
marriage licenses, birth certificates, registration/title information, etc. General Motors reserves
the right to audit dealership records and disqualify any sales that do not meet The Program
guidelines. Any money improperly paid to any party based upon the dealers’ or Participants’
representation shall be charged back accordingly.
Limitation on Number of Vehicles
Participants may purchase or lease a cumulative total of two (2) vehicles under The Program.
Eligibility Period
Authorization numbers are valid for 90 days toward the purchase or lease of an eligible vehicle
at The Program price. To see a list of eligible vehicles, visit
gmeducatordiscount.com and select "Vehicles" on the home
page. Some models may have limited availability. Eligibility of GM vehicles may change at any
time without notice. Participants or Sponsored Purchasers must be eligible to participate
throughout the entire purchase process, i.e., on the date the process is started through the
date of the vehicle delivery.
Retention
If purchasing or leasing a vehicle under The Program with cash or through a loan, ownership must
be retained for at least six (6) months from the date of delivery of the vehicle.
GM reserves the right to modify the retention rules at any time.
Retention periods for some vehicles may be different than the retention period
referenced in previous versions of the Rules and Guidelines.
Titling Restrictions
A vehicle purchased/leased under The Program must be used for the
personal, noncommercial use transportation of the eligible purchaser. It is
prohibited under The Program to purchase/lease and register/title a vehicle and then surrender
the vehicle for part or all of the required retention period to any other person. In addition,
it is prohibited under The Program to purchase/ lease a vehicle for commercial use or to title
in a business name.
Vehicles purchased under The Program must be registered, licensed, titled, insured and owned by
The Participant and/or Sponsored Purchaser. Vehicles may be jointly registered, licensed,
titled, insured and/or owned in The Participant’s name and the name of his or her spouse.
Vehicles may also be titled in the name of a living trust that bears the name of The
Participant.
When it is necessary for financial reasons, vehicles may be co-titled in the name of a
non-eligible person. In these cases, all of the following requirements apply:
- The Participant's name must be the first name listed on the title
- The Participant's name must be the first name listed on the registration
- The Participant's name must be the first name listed on the financing documents
If any one of these requirements is not met, unless compliance is not possible under state law,
the vehicle may not be co-titled in the name of a non-eligible person.
Inducements
Participants shall not solicit or accept money or discounts from dealers, other persons or other
business entities, except GM-sponsored incentives, in connection with the sale of vehicles under
The Program. At no time should a Participant accept payment or other
consideration from dealers for referrals. Participants may accept inducements of
nominal value, up to $50, provided the inducements are offered to the general public and are
noncash in nature, such as a free first oil change. This prohibition does not apply to a fuel
fill if provided by the dealer at the time of delivery.
Pricing Sheet
Included in required paperwork at the dealership is the GM Vehicle Purchase Customer-Dealer
Agreement and Pricing Sheet. This should be reviewed and, once complete, signed by the
purchaser. DO NOT SIGN the agreement if it is blank or The Program price from the invoice is not
shown. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your purchase or lease, clarify them with
your participating dealer BEFORE closing the transaction. The GM Vehicle Purchase
Customer-Dealer Agreement and Pricing Sheet must be signed prior to the completion of the deal.
Documentation Fees
Dealers will be permitted to assess a maximum of $75in documentation fees, except in these
specific instances:
- A documentation fee is specified in the applicable state law;
OR
- Your dealership charges all customers the same documentation fee (excluding customers
purchasing under the GM Employee, Military, Executive Referral and Dealership Employee
Programs).
Additional Information
Dealership participation is voluntary. To determine a specific dealership’s willingness to sell
vehicles under the Program, the Participant should contact the dealership directly. If a dealership
is not willing to sell a vehicle through the Program, the Participant may contact or visit another
dealership.
During the initial dealer inventory buildup when new models are introduced, and from time to time
thereafter, it may be necessary for GM to restrict purchases on certain models under the Program.
Please visit gmeducatorappreciation.com to find a current list of Eligible Vehicles.
The Program does not constitute an agreement between GM and any individual for the purchase or lease
of any vehicle at a specific price. However, by purchasing an Eligible Vehicle through the Program,
the Participant and Sponsored Purchaser acknowledge and agree to abide by and be bound by these
Program Rules and Guidelines.
These Program Rules and Guidelines may be modified by GM at any time, in GM’s sole discretion.
GM may unilaterally modify, change or withdraw the Program at any time.
Compliance With Applicable Laws
If any law or regulation is adopted or interpreted which, in GM’s opinion, prohibits or penalizes
the implementation of the Program, then GM may, in its sole discretion, cancel the Program or
any order submitted under the Program without any further obligation and without any liability
to either the dealer or the Participant.
