The ‘Labour Day Sales Event’ runs until 4 September and even offers the 0% rate to some ‘subprime’ borrowers rather than the top two tiers of credit worthiness as in previous campaigns.
The 0% rate will not be offered in conjunction with any cash incentives, such as rebates or discounts, Ford spokesman Jim Cain told Dow Jones Newswires, which noted that customers can opt to take a cash incentive instead of the cut-rate financing.
Automotive News, which broke the news on Wednesday following a Ford conference call with dealers, said the promotion was aimed at reducing inventory with Ford Division alone having 593,100 vehicles in stock on 1 August.
Cain told Dow Jones that each of Ford’s three domestic brands would have a different way of advertising the deal.
