Market-Leading Certified Brand is Industry's First Manufacturer-Certified Program to Reach Sales Milestone

DETROIT (2006-06-19) – General Motors Corporation (NYSE:GM) announced today that GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry’s top-selling manufacturer-certified used vehicle brand, according to Autodata Corp.*, sold its two-millionth unit this month. GM Certified Used Vehicles is the automotive industry’s first manufacturer-certified used vehicle program to pass the 2-million sales milestone.
GM Certified Used Vehicles – which includes Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC and Oldsmobile models – has led all manufacturers in annual certified pre-owned vehicle sales every year since 2002, according to Autodata. GM Certified Used Vehicles sold 455,498 units in 2005, setting a new all-time annual sales record for the certified pre-owned category for the fourth consecutive year, and Chevrolet again ranked as the industry’s top-selling single-line make certified used vehicle brand for the second consecutive year, according to Autodata.

GM Certified Used Vehicles posted sales of 38,471 units in May 2006, up 15 percent from the previous May. GM Certified 2006 sales are 191,523 units, up 4 percent year-to-date from the same period in 2005.

“GM Certified Used Vehicles has been the industry’s certified pre-owned segment sales leader for the last four years, and we’ve sold well over 400,000 units in each of the last two years, thanks to growing consumer awareness of the benefits of GM Certified and the engagement of our dealers,” said Paul Pejza, manager, GM Certified Used Vehicles. “Two-million sales is a tremendous achievement, and it’s even more impressive because over half of all GM Certified Used Vehicles sales have taken place since 2004.

“Our dealers do a great job communicating to their customers the quality, selection, value and peace of mind GM Certified provides and we’re on track this year to set another annual sales record for the category.”
