NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - October 28, 2010) - Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTCBB: SRCO) reported today that the early response from powersports dealers to the Company's recent announcement of a new consumer lease program focusing on subprime customers has been met with much greater enthusiasm than originally anticipated.
Commenting on this development, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said, "As soon as we revealed our plans for this program and the fact that the launch was imminent, we immediately began receiving inquiries and requests about and for the program from motorcycle dealers throughout the country, and the numbers far exceeded our expectations. That reaction strongly reaffirmed our belief in the need and timeliness of this new program, and we plan to meet that demand as rapidly as possible."
Sparta is launching this program initially in twelve states; Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, and Utah. These states were selected from Sparta's nationwide Authorized Sparta Dealer network based on an internal analysis of states with the heaviest projected demand. The Company plans to expand the program to additional states in a phased rollout, with the order again based on projected demand and seasonal adjustments.
In concluding his remarks, Havens added, "The market segment that we're addressing with this new program is the very large number of consumers whose credit worthiness isn't necessarily poor, but simply can't meet the ever more stringent requirements of other lenders. We recognized that this huge group of motorcycle enthusiasts was being unfairly kept out of the market and we decided to step in and fill that void. It meets the needs of a large block of consumers and powersports dealers and strengthens Sparta's position in the marketplace."
