COURTESY YAMAHAYamaha Motor Finance this week announced that it is entering a multiyear finance agreement with Chaparral and Robalo. Beginning Jan. 1, Yamaha Financial Services will become the exclusive provider of dealer inventory financing and the preferred provider of retail financing for Chaparral and Robalo in the United States and Canada.
“Combining Chaparral and Robalo’s breadth of quality products with Yamaha Financial Services’ full captive finance programs, we aim to provide best-in-class service to both wholesale dealer and retail customers while driving incremental sales and increasing brand loyalty,” Brett Miller, vice president of Commercial Finance, Yamaha Financial Services, said in a statement.
