12 Members can save hundreds, even thousands, with GM’s preferred pricing on a new Chevrolet, Buick or GMC Vehicle Members can access their credit union’s loan application right from the IIA GM credit union microsite Members can stack the discount with most other GM incentives for additional savings

15 Special Promotions Owner Loyalty Cash – $1,000 – From time to time GM has Owner Loyalty promotions where GM owners may be eligible to receive $1,000 toward the purchase of an eligible GM Vehicle!

16 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Extended Cab 2WD 0% for 60- Month Dealer Financing 3.9% for 60-Month Credit Union Financing Vehicle Price $31,615 Down Payment $2,000 Consumer Cash $0$4,500 Invest in America Discount $1,672 Loan Amount $27,943$23,443 Monthly Payment $466$431 Total Savings From Financing at Your Credit Union: $2,100 Help your members do the math! Dealer financing offers are generally in lieu of consumer cash incentives The table to the right, from CUNA’s daily rate comparison from 7/7/11 (http://www.creditunion.coop/ratedex.php), has the average CU rate for a 60 month new car loan at 3.85%http://www.creditunion.coop/ratedex.php The Silverado example, at right, shows your members can either get 0% for 60 financing or a consumer cash incentive of $4,500. By using the consumer cash incentive combined with credit union financing (in this case at 3.9%) your members save $35 each month or $2,100 over the life of the loan Additionally, research conducted by GM, shows credit union members value the Credit Union Member Discount above other incentives such as $1,000 gas cards, $500 bonus cash and a free two year satellite radio subscription Combining the ability to overcome low rate dealer financing with the value members put on the Credit Union Member Discount, and you have a very powerful offer Your challenge is to get in front of your members and help them do the math before they visit a dealer
