AC-Delco has recently announced a substantial reduction in the price of Delco Freedom Series 40, 50 and 60 batteries. This price change was effective November 1, 1982 throughout the United States and affords dealers with the opportunity to stock and offer a very competitively priced Delco battery.
The following are the affected Cadillac units:
AC/Delco Old Reduced Dealer Price Battery Number GM Part No. Price (as of 11-1-82) -------------- ---------- ----- -------------------- 75-60 1980963 83.43 63.66 78-60 1981150 91.20 69.60 83-60 1980825 72.55 55.36 87A60 1980747 81.30 62.05 87-60 1980677 74.75 57.06 89A60 1980679 90.21 68.86
When pricing warranty claims involving one of these batteries with repair dates of 11-1-82 or later, the reduced price less the $2.15 scrap allowance should be reflected on the claim.
General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
