General Motors makes financing easy
for college graduates
DETRIOT--General Motors Acceptance Corpora
tion announced today a program to make financing a
new General Motors Vehicle for graduating college
seniors and graduate students.
The 1986 GMAC College Graduate Finance Plan
features assured credit approval at a favorable
finance rate provided the graduate is employed or
has a commitment for employment and has no
derogatory credit references.
Other features of this aggressive marketing plan
for graduates, who are principally first-time car
buyers, are: low down payment requirements and the
option of deferring the first payment for 90 days
after purchase or a $250 rebate. The rebate may be
applied to the selling price or may be used as part of
the down payment.
"Our market research tells us that most graduates
need dependable transportation as they begin their
careers, yet they are hesitant to attempt to purchase a
new vehicle due to their lack of credit experience.
Thk rov4C program guarantees financing even for
the Penn State-Behrend Collegian
