An unpretentious, solid and reliable car which is also fun and affordable to the average Sri Lankan, is AMW Automative Managing Director Michael Brightmore’s description of the Suzuki M800. “Small is sometimes beautiful,” he added “And we know in Sri Lanka affordability is key, so in order to give more customers opportunities to own their own Maruti we have launched a scheme to tailor make finance according to the customer this March.”

Celebrating five years of Suzuki Marutis in the country, with 25000 cars on the road, AMW launched the special offer where customers can purchase an M800 and obtain a grace period of six months from paying lease installments last week. Calling it a ‘never before’ offer in the world of leasing, AMW Assistant General Manager Virann de Zoysa said at the launch, that the ‘Buy a Suzuki M800 today and pay nothing for six months’ deal is a novel concept designed to assist the public. “After a reasonable initial payment, one could drive away with a brand new Maruti and start payment of installments after six months.”

AMW ties up with Nations Trust Bank (NTB) and Capital Leasing to provide the future Maruti owners with this special offer. NTB Chief Manager Leasing Rajeev De Silva stated, “We are privileged to partner with AMW and we are sure this offer is going to be a success as the Maruti is the fastest selling car in the market. Along with the six months grace period, the customer will have the benefit of obtaining a tailor made insurance and repayment package to suit his needs.” Capital Leasing General Manager, Ravi Yatawara added, “This is a very unique package and we plan to increase the volume of Marutis sold this March.”

The M800 has a current market price of Rs. 1.2 million and is manufactured in Japan. This offer is available in all AMW showrooms till March 31. “We want to strengthen our relationship with our customers through these offers,” De Zoysa said. “We want to give them something back for the loyal faith in our Maruti brand for the last five years.”
