Default 0.00 % Financing

It seems that the big three US automakers are going to be offering special financing to keep car sales up:

Anyone interested in buying a 2001 vette Z06 could finance it over 5 years and pay no interest. Not bad at all.

I know the GM deal extends to all of their brands including SAAB. I wonder if Ford's extends to Mazda, Jag and Aston Martin.

Here's the story.

Are you positively sure of this? Where did the information come from and is it accurate? Maybe it is time to buy a Corvette! Does anyone know if they are making the C-5 still or just the Z06. Always wanted one maybe I can finally get one!

It is my understanding that it is on all GM cars, including the regular and Z06 vette.

How come when I was at the dealerships yesterday nobody mentioned this? My folks are looking for a new SUV. We still got the same 8% financing speech and we have excellent credit ratings, weird maybe I don't know the secret handshake or our salesman was an idiot. Probably the latter.

would be nice to own a z06
0.0% financing is amazing...no interest what so ever.

but you have to be qualified...wonder if those are strict qualifications.
