Chrysler will make 2 months of payments on new cars sold in July as co. tries to boost sales

Chrysler will make payments on new cars for 2 mos.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Chrysler says it will make two months worth of payments on most new vehicles bought this month as the automaker tries to boost sales.

Starting Thursday, the company is also allowing customers to return any new vehicle within 60 days if they’re not satisfied. Other July incentives include zero-percent financing on most Chrysler, Dodge, Ram and Jeep vehicles.

Automakers have been trying to limit incentives, which erode profits and hurt brand image. But weak June sales proved Americans’ enthusiasm for new cars and trucks has cooled on worries about the economy, signaling that the auto industry’s recovery is far from certain.
