Newly launched independent of former owner General Motors, Saab Automobile has named GMAC Financial Services as its ‘preferred’ provider of wholesale and retail financial services for dealers and customers worldwide.

Saab CEO Jan Ake Jonsson said:  “Today’s announcement is excellent news for the Saab organisation as a whole and also for Saab’s customers.  It not only makes available competitive financing, but also provides valuable continuity for the dealer network which already uses GMAC services.”

GMAC President Bill Muir said: “We are delighted to be able to build on our strong relationships with Saab dealers and customers, and we look forward to working with Saab as it begins a new chapter in its history.”
