Co-op Services Credit Union Joins Invest in America Campaign
Vehicle Discounts and Auto Financing Readily Available
LIVONIA, MI--(Marketwire - December 22, 2008) - In response to tightening credit nationwide and
the severe economic impact on the U.S. auto industry, Co-op Services Credit
Union has joined a consortium of more than 1,200 Midwest credit unions
participating in the "Invest in America" campaign, which is seeking to go
nationwide.
The program is offering cash discounts for credit union members from both
Chrysler and GM and access to affordable financing on new vehicle
purchases.
Credit union members are eligible to receive the GM Supplier Discount plus
$250 bonus cash* (see dealer for details) on most new GM vehicles, through
January 5, 2009.
Chrysler is expanding the program to eight additional states, which is
expected to make available an additional $12 billion in auto loans and
bring discounts to another 14 million credit union members. Chrysler's
program, "Credit Union Member Cash," runs through June 30, 2009, and offers
rebates of $500 or $1,000 on eligible Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge vehicles.
To gain access to the program, credit union members can simply bring proof
of credit union financing to a Chrysler dealership.
"We are encouraging members to pre-qualify with us for an auto loan to make
sure they save even more with our low rates," said Lisa Fawcett, marketing
director of Co-op Services Credit Union. "Non members are also welcome to
call us or stop by one of our branches to find out how they can qualify."
"Invest in America" includes all current and new credit union members in
the Midwestern states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The "Credit
Union Member Cash" rebates are also available in Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi. There are
plans to take "Invest in America" nationwide during 2009.
"Co-op Services Credit Union is pleased that we are in a sound financial
position to step up and help our members with their auto financing needs
and also support the U.S. auto industry," added Fawcett.
Details about the "Invest in America" program are available at any of Co-op
Services Credit Union's branch offices or by calling 800-778-CSCU toll
free.
Headquartered in Livonia, Co-op Services Credit Union, www.cscu.org, has
approximately 45,000 members and maintains branch offices in Dearborn,
Livonia, Melvindale, Walled Lake, Westland and Downriver. Members also
have access to any Family Service Center shared branches located throughout
