    Effective January 1, 2008:
    
    
    • Crossline buying will be permitted for all titled 2007 Rental and Company vehicles. All vehicles on MSOs remain restricted to the appropriate GM line-make dealer.
    • From January 1st to July 31st current model year vehicles (2008) may be purchased only by same line-make dealers except as noted below. This restriction does not apply to GMAC Repossession, SmartBuy and SmartLease vehicles. Only the same line-make dealer may purchase vehicles on an MSO.
      
      
      • Rental Vehicles only
        January 1st through July 31st, current model year (2008 is used as the "current" model year in this example) rental vehicles with 12,000 miles or more offered and not sold ("passed") on SmartAuction may be purchased by any GM dealer regardless of line-make the second day the vehicle is offered on GMAC SmartAuction. If the vehicle is not sold on GMAC SmartAuction and is then offered for sale at the GM Sponsored Auction, regular crossline buying rules are in effect. When a rental vehicle is passed in the physical auction with 12,000 miles or more and is offered for sale a second time at the GM Sponsored Auction, it is eligible to be purchased by any GM dealer, regardless of line-make.
