Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify completion of the right driveshaft recall.
3. Request documentation of the fuel pump attachment recall repair.
4. Ask about shifting, electrical, or engine problems and request repair records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
