Comments
As Used Cars are acquired, a timely determination must be made as to whether the Used Car is eligible to be sold under the GM Certified or CarBravo programs. If the vehicle is eligible, then it must be reconditioned according to program rules and promptly Certified. When the Certified Used Car is sold at retail, the sale and cost of sales are recorded in these accounts.
