Is smart Still Offering 4.2% Financing?

If so, WHY?

Are smart customers being ripped off just because our car is known as the 'fortwo' so they can offer four.two financing as a gimmick?

If they can offer MB customers 1.9%, why not smart customers as well?



2009 Mercedes-Benz Models Across All Classes Get 1.9% APR

By MBWorld.org Editors on July 20, 2009 2:51 PM

We have to admit--we didn't see this one coming. An unheard of 1.9% APR financing for up to 36 months is being offered on most 2009 Mercedes-Benz models. That's right, you can finance a 2009 C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CL-Class, CLK-Class, CLS-Class, SL-Class, SLK-Class, GL-Class, GLK-Class, M-Class or R-Class at an incredible 1.9% APR!

I know this was dated July 20th, but still I have yet to see these kind of rates for the smarts. I guess 'the rich get richer and the poor get higher interest rates?'

2.2

hey PB,

I got my second smart with $4500 cash for clunkers and 2.2% for 2 years. With the loan I took, my TOTAL INTEREST IS LESS THAN $250 for the life of the loan.

what a nice deal - and now I don't need to borrow my wife's smart but I have my own.


...now about those panels......... hahahah

Panda, they are still "pimping" the 4.2% APR, but they are actually offering 1.2%, 2.2%, 3.2%, etc, etc..... I think they are just using the 4.2% as a gimmick.

Glad to hear that. The 4.2 was a great 'gimmick' rate, but it's good to hear they are offering much lower rates, comparable to what they do for MB.

Same here in Denver.

4.2% isn't bad for 60 months.

Man, it seems like everything Denver does, Portalnd gets into and vice-versa. Go figure!



(they're both owned by the same group and have the same, delightful general manager who is known to enjoy golf and good wine)
