Bloomberg TV is reporting that GM is going to offer 0% financing for 60 months to stimulate auto sales. General Motors' car loan division GMAC Financial Services recently received a $6 billion injection from the Fed which would enable them to make the 0% financing loans.
The rescue package has two parts. The Treasury Department is injecting $5 billion directly into GMAC in exchange for preferred equity shares that pay an 8% dividend. GMAC also is issuing warrants to Treasury in the form of preferred stock. If exercised, the warrants will pay a 9% dividend.
Also, the government will lend $1 billion to GM that the automaker will invest in its financing arm. GMAC needs the funding to convert to a bank holding company, a necessary step to receiving the bailout money.
GM reportedly had some similar offers in 2006 but not on all cars. We will post more details when we learn more.
Update: Marketwatch says GM's financing offer will be on select cars and available to qualified buyers until January 5th.
GM said Tuesday that it will provide reduced-rate financing as low as 0% APR for up to 60 months on certain new cars and trucks. The auto maker said the offer is available to qualified buyers today through Jan. 5.
