FOX 2 - General Motors is bumping up the sticker price on many of its new vehicles adding a mandatory OnStar subscription, whether you want it or not.This equipment is on new Buicks, Cadillacs, and GMC vehicles.
And on Wednesday GM said you have to take it for $1,500."It's just like buying a car with seats and a steering wheel, you have to take this equipment," said John McElroy, auto analyst WWJ 950. "They're listing it as an option.
And people are going 'I don't want to buy it.' Too bad."But this just doesn't seem like an "option" but you do get a lot of technology..."OnStar does a whole bunch of different things," McElroy said. "It will give you navigation staff, track your car if it gets stolen so the police can find it.
It will give you all kinds of other different services, like a health checkup on your car, like tell you when you need an oil change or things like that."And your car becomes a Wi-Fi hotspot.
