GM has announced the start of a 72-hour sale that includes zero percent financing for up to 72 months on all Pontiacs and large Chevy and GMC trucks and SUVs.
The soon to be dead Pontiac Vibe, G3, G5, G6 and G8 are all included in the sale, which starts today and funny enough runs through July 6th. Too bad that is a little longer than 72 hours… In addition to all the Pontiac models, GM is also including the Chevy Impala, Silverado and Tahoe in addition to the GMC Yukon and Sierra models in the sale.
Other GM models will also have zero percent financing, but for only 60 months.
PRESS RELEASE:
Buy and Say Goodbye: July Offers Make Getting a New GM Vehicle More Affordable
• Buy: 72-Hour sale offers new 0 percent reduced-rate financing for up to 72 months to well-qualified buyers on select GM vehicles
• Say Goodbye: GM will have twice as many qualifying vehicles under the Federal “Cash for Clunkers” program, once it is finalized, than any other manufacturer
DETROIT – General Motors made two announcements today that will help make buying a new GM vehicle even more affordable this summer. Here are the details:
• GM is announcing its “72-Hour Sale,” running from July 1 to July 6, 2009, where low-rate financing of 0 percent for up to 72 months will be offered to well-qualified buyers on select 2009 and 2010 vehicles in dealer stock including Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra regular, extended and crew cab light-duty pickups; Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL SUVs; Chevrolet Impala; and the Pontiac models: Vibe, G3, G5, G6 and G8. Although not part of the 72-Hour Sale, many other vehicles will have reduced rate financing of 0 percent for up to 60 months for well-qualified buyers. A full list of current offers, conditions, and eligible vehicles, is available at: http://www.gm.com/shop/currentoffers/
• GM has 74 different models — twice as many as any other auto manufacturer — that may qualify under the new Federal CARS (Car Allowance Rebate System) “Cash for Clunkers” program. Customers with older vehicles will soon have a new reason to trade in their “clunker” — vouchers worth from $3,500 to $4,500 cash from the CARS program. CARS provides incentives for consumers to bring in their out-of-date vehicle to scrap and trade-in on a new, more fuel-efficient model. Once the program begins later this month, all a customer needs to do is bring in a qualifying vehicle for scrap, and trade it in on an eligible new GM model, that offers a significant improvement in fuel economy, and the dealer does the rest. A list of the GM models that may qualify, depending on the EPA estimated combined fuel economy of the vehicle they are trading in, as well as its age and condition, is shown below. Customers should visit the official NHTSA site: http://www.cars.gov, or their local GM dealer for more information.
(GM’s Proposed Eligible Vehicles List under the ‘Cash for Clunkers’ CARS program. Subheadings with numbers i.e. ’22 and above’ refer to EPA estimated combinedfuel economy ratings. Please note that whether a transaction qualifies for an incentive under CARS depends, among other things, on (1) the type of vehicle the customer is trading in, and (2) the increase in EPA estimated combined fuel economy ratings resulting from the purchase of the new vehicle.)
