General Motors (GM) takes the fear card: either Opel subjected to a harsh austerity program or the carmaker threatened bankruptcy, announced the U.S. parent company. Experts do not believe that it will happen. However, some drivers are concerned Opel. We answer important questions as it goes with Opel.

Have the concerns of the EU Commission against the sale to Magna made the difference?

This could have been an important argument for General Motors to cancel the sale. At least suspect this car experts. The EU Commission had considered whether distort the 4.5 billion euros state aid from Berlin competition.

Why General Motors Opel wants to go on?

Because GM can survive only from the perspective of the Americans with Opel – and vice versa. The U.S. giant can only stay with Opel and Development Center in Rüsselsheim in the auto market. There are Opel engineers who develop the platform for all middle-class car of the GM Group. There sits the knowledge of the cars of the future, such as electric vehicles. GM, however, has the much better distribution, without which there would be enough for the long term for Opel.

What happened to the 25 000 jobs in Germany?

All experts agree that thousands of bodies will disappear. How many is still unclear. The last two potential buyers, the supplier Magna and financial investor RHJI wanted to emphasize in Germany between 3000 and around 4,000 jobs. At the whereabouts of Opel under the umbrella of General Motors, it could be, experts believe. In Rüsselsheim is spoken by 10 000.

How does the recent development between Opel and General Motors for the customers?

The burst Opel deal has no immediate impact on customers. “Right now it looks like it would change nothing for consumers,” said Ute Bitter from the Consumer Central Hesse. Marcus Krueger is also confident of ADAC. “I would advise against panic” There is not much difference in his view, had now taken over whether Magna Opel and General Motors reserves the German carmaker. Kruger does not believe that the fate of Opel is already sealed. “If someone wants to buy an Astra, let him do that.”

What if GM serious about making a bankruptcy, because not go along the Opel employees?

“This is first of all only a threat,” said ADAC expert Krueger. He does not believe that there is a short-term Opel broke, and both sides ultimately will agree after all.

Worst case: Opel is still broke. What then?

Even then, Opel driver can usually go back to sleep quietly. Because regardless of the part warranty, the manufacturer promises, every consumer in Germany the right to be, that defects will be corrected free of charge at his new car for the first two years. “With a manufacturer bankruptcy, the rights of clients in the so-called defects liability to the dealer there,” says Krueger. Problems could there possibly, if the market for Opel spare parts would collapse.

What happens if Opel is insolvent and not my car dealer survived the crisis?

Then the customer could have in fact problems, confirms Krueger. If you want the car that is – because of serious shortcomings – are back and refund the purchase price, this one moved. Since the actual party is no longer on the market can act, must retain the customer and the car repair at his expense. But these are extreme cases that would occur only in the worst case.
