Fiat gives grown-ups
a summer break
FIAT is aiming to ensure kids aren't the only ones who get to enjoy a long vacation this summer.
The Italian carmaker is giving the grown-ups a breather during its June sales event, which is offering a zero deposit finance package with three-month repayment holiday on any Fiat 500L, 500L MPW or 500L Trekking model.
For a limited period until June 24, Fiat is also introducing additional deposit contribution for finance customers across the FIAT 500L range.
It means there's an extra £900 deposit contribution available on petrol models and £600 on diesel versions.
In the case of FIAT 500L 1.4 95bhp Pop Star model, for example, it is in addition to the £500 savings already on offer, meaning a total deposit contribution to the customer of £1,400.
With no deposit and no repayments for the first three months, the remaining 44 repayments would be £219 with an optional final repayment of £4,703.
Alternatively, customers also have the option of forgoing the repayment holiday and instead lowering their monthly payments, resulting in a deposit of £199 and 47 repayments of £199 for the FIAT 500L 1.4 Pop Star - plus £4,703 optional final repayment.
Fiat UK's senior brand manager Kate McLaren said: "The FIAT 500L is a car designed around the family, so while the children are enjoying time off from school we're also offering parents the opportunity to take a repayment vacation."
