Sparta and CMSI Announce a New Private-Label Financing Program
for All CMSI Vehicles
The Program Will Provide Leasing and Financing For TN'G, Flying Tiger and
Lambretta Brands
NEW YORK, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sparta Commercial Services
(OTC:SRTA) (BULLETIN BOARD: SRTA) and CMSI today announced an agreement
whereby Sparta will provide a consumer leasing and financing program for CMSI's
three brands of vehicles -- TN'G, Flying Tiger, and Lambretta scooters.
The new CMSI consumer financing program is yet another private-label offering
that is being developed and underwritten by Sparta, the fourth such agreement
that the company has entered into in 2004.
Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, commented, "We're extremely enthusiastic about
this new relationship with CMSI, a company that's been building a successful
powersports distribution business since 1993 and has established an excellent
reputation in the industry. With a current network of over 200 dealers, we
expect that the new CMSI financing program will enable those dealers to see
significant increases in sales, and give CMSI a further opportunity to enlarge
that already impressive network of powersports retailers."
According to Tom Lynott, President of CMSI, "The new program, managed and
underwritten by Sparta, will undoubtedly result in sales volume increases for
all participating CMSI dealers. Until now, customers usually had to find their
own financing sources, but with this new program, CMSI dealers will now have
yet another valuable tool to satisfy customers and make their business grow and
prosper. Our dealers have been asking for this kind of support, now they have
it."
CMSI currently offers a line of quality scooters under its Twist 'n Go brand --
also known as TN' G -- and a 250cc motorcycle carrying the Flying Tiger brand.
A new line of ATVs will be added soon, and with CMSI's exclusive licensing of
the famous Lambretta brand, a new line of scooters carrying that prestigious
badge will be available in showrooms in early 2005. Every unit in all three
lines will be eligible for leasing or financing under the new CMSI program.
The program will operate through a customized website built by Sparta, that
will enable CMSI dealers to process all transactions online, receive credit
decisions quickly, download contracts ready for the customer's signature, and
provide an on-going customer database for dealers which will support their own
marketing and promotional efforts.
