What Are GMC and Cadillac Courtesy Vehicles?

Also known as Service Loaner Vehicles, courtesy vehicles are dealer-owned models which stay at the dealership and can be used primarily for business purposes. This includes being temporary rentals for clients at our service center if they’re personal vehicle is being worked on for longer than expected.

Demonstrator Vehicles: Driven by sales staff members, managers, or executives, these are new GMC or Buick models that are not registered within the state they’re in. In contrast, used vehicles are any vehicle model that has been already registered.

It should be noted that once a vehicle has been registered, it is legally considered used. Many of these models have never been titled, as they were either a service loaner or demonstrator, requiring the dealership to sell them as “Like New” vehicles. Surprisingly, loaner car inventories are one of the reasons why brands like Buick and GMC can have a higher resale rate within 18 months of original purchases.

Yet, many GMC and Buick dealerships are incentivized to select and purchase new vehicles to stock up their existing courtesy vehicle fleets, use them as a convenience for our service center customers, and then add them back to our existing pre-owned inventory.
