INFINITI also announced today it will offer employee pricing and special financing with deferred payments to people in the designated FEMA disaster area who have an insurance claim on their current vehicle due to Hurricane Sandy. INFINITI Financial Services (IFS) will also defer payments for new purchases for up to three months to provide extra assistance to those in need. Current IFS customers in FEMA disaster areas will be offered payment extensions for qualifying leases and retail purchases for up to three payments without extension fees.

"Our hearts go out to the millions of people along the East Coast that are affected by this devastating storm," said Ben Poore, vice president, INFINITI Americas. "We hope INFINITI's special pricing and financing programs help people resume their normal lives and get mobile again."
