For the second time in a year, Yemassee, SC engaged Sparta Commercial Services for the acquisition of equipment for its police department. The latest transaction consists of Dodge Charger police cruisers with a pay schedule and terms that allow Yemassee to accrue equity in the vehicles over the course of the lease and own the vehicles outright after final payment is made.

Yemassee is one of 10 Carolina jurisdictions and one of more than two dozen agencies throughout the Carolinas as a whole that have used Sparta’s Municipal Lease Program for their essential equipment needs.

Sparta’s leasing alternative enables municipalities to spread the cost of the equipment over time, rather than having to pay the full amount up front. As a result, jurisdictions have greater flexibility with their budgeting and allocation, allowing their tax revenues to go further.

“Our first experience utilizing Sparta Municipal’s leasing program was a year ago when we needed to add vehicles to our police cruiser fleet,” said Chief Gregory Alexander of the Yemassee police department. “We found Sparta made the process very simple and uncomplicated, so when we decided to go forward with new vehicles this year, it made sense to return to Sparta for financing. The terms they set up for us fit our budgetary needs and their staff once again helped make the process painless and productive.”

The vendor supplying the vehicles for this transaction is Performance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Clinton, NC.

Sparta Commercial’s Municipal Lease supports a variety of asset classes including motorcycles, police cruisers, surveillance systems, fire apparatus, tactical vehicles, buses, trucks and EMS vehicles.
