IRVINE, Calif. -

Announcing the second relationship with an automaker in less than a week, Ally Financial forged a new alliance with Aston Martin The Americas on Friday by launching a closed ended lease and retail finance program to U.S. customers.

Ally has been named the preferred financing source for the British luxury automaker and will offer its full suite of automotive financial products and services at Aston Martin’s network of 37 dealerships in the United States. Ally indicated this development will enable customers across the country to take advantage of attractive lease payments on a new Aston Martin.

Julian Jenkins, president of Aston Martin The Americas said, “We are delighted to finalize this exciting arrangement with Ally Financial.

“We undertook an extensive search for a financial services provider and believe Ally Financial with their extensive experience in the industry, are ideally placed to meet the high standards our customers expect,” Jenkins continued.

“Alongside our globally coveted product range and a well-established dealership network, this new finance agreement broadens our customer offering and accessibility to the Aston Martin brand, supporting our ongoing growth in this region,” he went on to say.

The alliance comes on the heels of Ally becoming the preferred financing source for Mitsubishi Motors North America.

Through the agreement, Ally will make available its premium services and comprehensive product offerings such as retail and lease financing to Aston Martin’s U.S. dealership network. Ally will also offer wholesale financing and remarketing services to U.S. dealers.

The agreement extends to all core Aston Martin sports cars — from the agile and sporting V8 and V12 Vantage to the company’s renowned GT cars; DB9, four-door Rapide S and flagship Vanquish.

Financial packages available from Aston Martin include access to competitive financing rates on  Aston Martins including the extreme performance model; V12 Vantage S from less than $1,900 per month and the four-door grand tourer; Rapide S from less than $2,300 per month, which is subject to terms, conditions and availability through participating Aston Martin dealers in the United States.

“Ally offers a distinctive customer-centric approach that aligns with Aston Martin’s brand philosophy that will appeal to their customers,” said Tim Russi, president of auto finance at Ally.

“We look forward to developing a strong relationship with the network of US dealerships and providing long term value to the Aston Martin brand,” Russi added.
