- Zero percent financing and three months of free gas for qualified buyers
- Offer available on retail purchases of all new 2007 and 2008 Suzuki cars and
SUVs through June 30
BREA, Calif., (May 5, 2008) – To help motorists at the
pump this summer driving season and generate additional traffic to U.S.
showrooms, American Suzuki Motor Corp. has announced a nationwide sales
promotion offering car buyers zero percent financing and three months of free
gasoline on retail purchases of all new 2007 and 2008 vehicles from its
versatile and fun-to-drive product line. The Suzuki “Free Gas for Summer” sales
program, which kicked off May 1 and runs through June 30, is expected to further
build brand interest and bolster summer sales.
“Suzuki recognizes the economic impact resulting from soaring gas prices and
thought this promotion was a great way to entice eager car buyers,” said Gary
Akin, vice president of sales, American Suzuki Automotive Operations. “Working
through our U.S. dealer network, we’re happy to extend this unique program to
consumers across the country, providing potential buyers even more reason to
consider Suzuki during the summer shopping season.”
Customers who qualify for the offer through American Suzuki Financial
Services will enjoy zero percent APR financing for up to 60 months and will
receive a stored value Visa® debit card that can be used for fuel purchases. The
amount of each stored value gas card is determined by several factors, including
an assumed three-month timeframe for summer driving, the car or SUV’s EPA
estimated highway mpg, the Federal Highway Administration’s estimated average of
1,000 miles driven per month and the U.S. national average price of one gallon
of regular gasoline as determined by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
