ATLANTA – Manheim Financial Services (MAFS), the leading independent auto inventory financing company, is expanding its Specialty division and seeking Specialty dealers in need of financing.  The MAFS Specialty division finances Heavy Truck, Motorcycle and RV dealers with tailored floor plan options designed for their unique business needs.

MAFS’ benefits include competitive rates, 100 percent financing of auction purchase price, personalized customer service and extended terms ranging from 120 to 150 days of financing.  MAFS also aids dealers in working capital management and provides administrative services that save time and money. 

 

Two specific financing programs are designed to complement dealers’ inventory financing needs for a wide array of Specialty units:

 

 

Heavy Truck program: Class 6, 7 and 8 trucks and vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight of 19,501 pounds and above

 

 

 

 

 

RV/Motorcycle program: Drivable units, tow-behind campers, trailers, 5th wheel trailers, ATVs and motorcycles

 

 

 

 

“From our experience, Specialty dealers are extremely strong operators with unique needs that traditional floor plans oftentimes cannot support,” Kathy Decker, group vice president, Manheim Financial Services.  “Their detailed knowledge of these niche markets makes them a perfect fit for MAFS. Our goal is work with Specialty dealers to identify ways our finance programs can help them sell more units.”
