            Considering you're over 3 1/2 years late to apply, plus it doesn't sound like you're sure if your leather seats are aftermarket, I'd give this one a double wide

                    If GM was to buy back your car they only have to give you fair market value for you vechile which becomes a gray area. A fair market value to you and other 2006 G6 GTs might be 12K they sell for on lots and thats what you are banking on. GM might say there fair market value on the car is only 8000 because thats all they go for on auction blocks. See the wide diffrence you two will be looking at. Once a big company makes its mind up it takes a really good expensive lawyer to get them to change it.

                    Side note, unless recall has an experation date on it as some of them do like might say issues 10-10-2006 and expires 11-20-2007, they still do have to honor the recall

                      actually belive it or not they reimburse for the price you paid
                      and theyll pay for your mods.
                      on that note the odds of anybodys car on here actualy quallifying for that recall are pretty much 0

                      General Motors will repurchase the vehicle for the full price the customer paid for it (not exceeding the fair market value at the time the customer purchased it), including taxes and fees. If the vehicle is returned to General Motor's possession in a timely manner, there will be no deductions for mileage or use unless the vehicle has sustained substantial damage beyond normal wear and tear.

                      General Motors reserves the right to handle each transaxtion on a case-by-case basis relative to the application of a reasonable depreciation allowance for mileage or use and/or reduction in repurchase price if the vehicle has sustained substantial damage beyond normal wear and tear.

                      General Motors will also pay for the removal of any aftermarket accessories the customer may have installed before they were notified of this recall and return them to the customer. If they no longer have a use for those accessories or they cannot be removed, General Motors will reimburse the customer for the purchase price of those accessories.

                      The customer's local GM dealer will contact General Motors to begin the repurchase process. General Motors will work with the customer to reach an agreement on the purchase of the vehicle. Dealers will be asked by General Motors to assist in the removal of any aftermarket accessories, inspection of the vehicle, obtaining titles and other documentation required to transfer ownership to General Motors, presenting the customer with a check for the purchase, and taking possession of the vehicle. General Motors will arrange for transportation of the vehicle from the dealer.

                          i think this one is different from a normal buy back

                              How do you know if your car is involved in this recall? What models are the ones that had cloth seats and changed to leather? Who changed the seat material?

                              I'm pretty sure I'm not involved in this cause I have a GTP, but it would be nice.
