If you're nice enough to
finance your car with us,
we're smart enough to
make it worth your while,
First off. Southern National will
give you a barrel of gas. Free.
The minute you get your new car
loan from us, you'll be presented with
a cashier's check for 42 gallons of
premium. Enough to take you a long
way. 500, 700, even 800 miles,
depending on whether your car sips
or gulps the stuff.
But that's not all we'll give you.
Our auto loan men are pretty
savvy about buying a new car. See
them before you buy. They'll give
you some pointers that could save
you money.
And they'll tell you everything
about our monthly payments and cost
of borrowing. The more you know, the
better deal you'll make for yourself.
We figure if we make your auto
loan worthwhile this time, when it's
time for another new car, you'll see
Southern National again.
And that makes it pretty
worthwhile for us, too.
