If only you had had an extra $14 billion lying around (check the couch), you might have had a chance to beat out a consortium led by Cerberus Capital Management in its 51 percent buy-out of General Motors Acceptance Corp. ? the financial arm of General Motors.

The long-anticipated sale, announced Monday and reported by Reuters, generates a considerable amount of much-needed cash for the world’s largest automaker. General Motors reported a $10.5 billion dollar loss in 2005. GMAC also benefits; the move restores the financial unit’s damaged credit rating back to investment-grade status.
