Factory order may be required for Vehicle Awards. Should the Vehicle Award winner wish to select a new and unused 2010, 2011 or 2012 vehicle from dealer stock other than the model specified above, they will receive a $30,000 incentive (inclusive of applicable GST, HST, QST and PST) to reduce the total amount the participant would be required to pay the dealer for the Replacement Vehicle of his/her choice. Should the customer choose a Replacement Vehicle with a value less than $30,000 (inclusive of applicable GST, HST, QST and PST), the customer will forfeit the difference. Should the customer choose a Replacement Vehicle with a value greater than $30,000 (inclusive of applicable GST, HST, QST and PST) then the customer will be responsible for the difference. Chevrolet Volt is not eligible to be a Replacement Vehicle. The distribution of Vehicle Awards will be based on the make/brand of vehicles represented by the participating dealer where the Connect & Win contest was played. For example, the Chevrolet Equinox can only be won at dealerships which carry the Chevrolet brand and cannot be won at standalone Buick GMC dealerships. Vehicle Award winners must take delivery of their vehicle from the dealership where the participant entered the contest. Vehicle Awards are not transferable and no cash substitutes are permitted. Vehicle Awards are not compatible with any other GMCL incentives.
