The Commercial Bank of Ceylon and Associated Motorways Ltd. (AMW) have joined forces to offer exclusive discounts of up to Rs. 375,000, attractive leasing packages and other benefits to customers leasing Suzuki vehicles.
This special promotion will run until 31 October, with lease rentals starting as low as Rs. 1,906 for every Rs. 100,000 for Commercial Bank leasing customers. The offer will also apply to vehicle owners seeking to trade-in, exchange or upgrade their existing vehicles while continuing their existing leases, the bank said.
Furthermore, the bank will customise repayment plans to suit the individual income patterns of customers. Test drives of vehicles will be arranged by AMW at selected locations, so that aspiring lease customers can take their preferred Suzuki automobiles for a spin before purchasing them.
