I'm confused: is this a great time or a terrible time to buy a GM car?
Since GM loses money on every car they sell, doesn't that make it a great bargain? (Not to mention, since they have piles of inventory you can probably haggle with them a fair bit.) Even if you pay full sticker price, you can be sure that more labor and material went into the car than you paid for it!
As an added bonus, since one way or another part of the car was built with bailout money, it's probably they only way you'll ever get your hands on that government assistance.
On the other hand, they might not be around to service it or supply spare parts if they go out of business. (Hello garden industry?)
Do you use your cell phone more for text messaging or for actual phone calls? I'm surprised at how little I "talk" on my phone (maybe 1 call every few days), while I do send quite a few text messages. Is this typical or an exception?
