Volvo Celebrates 45th Anniversary With Unique Cash-Back Finance Package And 3-Year Free Maintenance
Kuala Lumpur, 3rd May 2005 – To celebrate the 45th year since the arrival of the first Volvo car in Malaysia, Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) has introduced a unique cash-back financing package that is valid for 45 days from now.
This unique car financing package, a first by any car manufacturer in Malaysia, offers 0% interest payment for the first year, on top of the 0.45% interest back in cash. Every new customer during this promotion period will now save even more with Volvo’s Free 3 Years Maintenance. The 3-year warranty and 3 years Volvo-On-Call Gold membership also come standard for all new cars purchased.
This special financing and free maintenance package is in conjunction with Volvo’s 45th Anniversary celebrations in Malaysia and is applicable to Volvo’s range of cars from the award-winning new Volvo S40, Volvo’s compact premium sedan, which won the “New Straits Times – Mastercard Premium Family Car of the Year Award 2004” to the multiple award-winning SUV, the Volvo XC90. For buyers on the lookout for a sportier, performance driven sedan, Volvo S60 is the ideal choice in this package, whereas the discerning executive looking for comfort and luxury, will prefer the Volvo S80.
“We are indeed very proud to have contributed to the country’s automobile industry and heritage for 45 years. In conjunction with our 45th Anniversary celebrations, we have developed a unique finance and maintenance package to reward our customers as a sign of our appreciation for their support and interest in the Volvo brand”, explained Ms. How Wei Thing Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM).
The first Volvo to make its debut here in Malaysia was the Volvo 122 Amazon, at Volvo’s first car distributor, Federal Auto Cars Penang which was incorporated on 3 March 1960. Volvo was also the first car manufacturer to set-up an assembly plant in Malaysia back on 7th September 1966. VCM works in collaboration with its local partners Federal Auto Cars Sdn Bhd and Swedish Marque Sdn Bhd, the authorized dealers of Volvo Cars who operate seven Volvo showrooms and eight service centres located in key market centres in Peninsular Malaysia. VCM also functions to support its partners, by providing global competence in key areas – sales and dealer operations, customer service, training and brand and product marketing.
