According to the National Automobile Dealers’ Association (NADA), the local automotive industry is experiencing “a notable shift”, with dealers now forced to take strategic steps to boost new-vehicle sales through “innovative trade support initiatives”. “This collaboration with [vehicle manufacturers] and importers, coupled with flexible financing options, is creating a dynamic environment for dealers and consumers alike.” Financial institutions are also playing a key role by offering financing up to 84 months, subject to certain criteria, with no balloon payments at the end.
