Aggressive auto financing promotions
GMAC also ran an aggressive 0 percent car loan promotion between December 30 and January 5. Inclusive of that promotion, GM's December sales were still down more than 31 percent. Full-year sales were down 22.9 percent.
TARP was established in early October when Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. To participate in the program, GMAC applied for bank holding company status in November; that application was approved by the Reserve-Board">Federal Reserve Board in the following month. GMAC subsequently received $6 billion in government bailout funds. Auto manufacturers GM and Chrysler received bailout financing under a separate arrangement by President Bush.
If your credit score is between 621 and 700, you can technically take a slice out of the bailout pie. Just head over to your nearest GM dealer, and finance an auto purchase.
