NAHB’s exclusive automotive partner, General Motors, offers eligible NAHB members preferred supplier pricing through Jan. 3. Most 2005 and 2006 model year vehicles from Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, GMC, Saturn, HUMMER and Saab are included. See www.gmfleet.com/nahb for complete details.

In addition, members can realize the benefits of other offers such as eligible customer cash and the GM Business Choice Program — stacking up to an even better value.

The 2006 GM Business Choice program is available to qualified commercial customers requiring the use of work-type vehicles for daily business operations.  Available on most Chevy and GMC commercial trucks and vans, Business Choice allows customers to the option that works best for them:

  • Upfit Cash Back on installed eligible upfit equipment
  • $500 Lowe’s Gift Card, which offers flexibility to purchase equipment, supplies and other job materials
  • $600 credit on a GM Business Card and unlimited earnings towards the purchase of a future new GM vehicle.


Complete program information is available at Chevrolet and GMC dealerships, or visit www.gmbusinesschoice.com.
