To continue its sales momentum, General Motors decided to step in and lend a hand to dealers upset about the delays in the Car Allowance Rebate System reimbursements. GM announced that it will begin providing cash advances to dealers which are equivalent to the amount of federal rebates which are being processed for that dealership’s qualifying new vehicle sales.

GM expects that as a result, the dealers will have the liquidity to run their businesses effectively and new vehicles will continue to be delivered to customers.

LaNeve specifically pointed out that the move will push the sales of its new fuel-efficient vehicles such as the Chevrolet Cobalt, Equinox and Buick Enclave.
