Mercedes-Benz Trucks has announced a Drive Now, Pay Later program that means in these tough times, owners can choose to make no payments for three months.
Provided by Mercedes-Benz Financial, the program offers customers who purchase a Mercedes-Benz on-highway truck a 90-day repayment-free period, allowing customers to focus on their business and generate revenue without the need to make repayments for the period.
M-B Trucks says that eligible customers can defer payments for two months, while Mercedes-Benz will pay the third monthly payment on their behalf. Terms and conditions apply to the offer, which is valid for trucks purchased before July 31.
The Drive Now, Pay Later program comes in addition to a free Best Basic service plan offer that covers eligible new trucks for five years or 800,000km, whichever comes first, saving owners even more money.
Mercedes-Benz Actros models, the winner of the 2020 Trucksales Innovation Award, also come with 12 months free access to MB Telematics, a locally-developed telematics program.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks Director, Andrew Assimo, says the Drive Now, Pay Later offer is designed to help customers get on with their business.
“The Mercedes-Benz Actros is well established as a truck that saves money every kilometre it travels with remarkable fuel efficiency, long service intervals and advanced safety technology,” said Assimo.
“This offer represents another way that Mercedes-Benz Trucks can help our customers succeed in a difficult environment.”
Customers who purchase now may also qualify for the federal government’s Backing Business Investment stimulus package that offers instant asset write-offs or 50 per cent accelerated depreciation deductions for applicable purchases.
Mercedes-Benz Financial is also able to offer customers a range of solutions including a popular program called Agility Guaranteed Buy-Back. It guarantees the future value of the truck based on the selected term and kilometre allowance and means that when the agreement comes to end the customer has the option to trade-in, retain or return the truck to Mercedes-Benz Finance at the guaranteed future value amount.
