Renault Credit: loans of $ 10,000 to 2% over three years to buy a car

renaultThe main difficulty that individuals are being found to buy a car and at the same time benefit from discounts, promotions and grants the government and manufacturers, is whether or not you have all the money in acquiring financing.

And the financial crisis has caused financial institutions give very little credit, at interest rates hovering around 10% and above require a lot of requirements to give us money, so it is very difficult to buy a car in these conditions.

To alleviate this problem and yet this is temporary, the French manufacturer Renault through its financier in Spain has launched an initiative that will provide financing for the purchase of a car. Thus we have until 30 September, the French manufacturer will provide loans up to a maximum of 10,000 euros to an interest rate only 2% taking into account that financial institutions can not find it cheaper 8% -9%, and within three years.
