The Town of Holden Beach, NC utilized Sparta Commercial Services’ Municipal Leasing division to acquire additional vehicles for its police department’s special vehicle fleet.

This was the third time that Holden Beach has worked with Sparta and the vendor for the transaction is Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, based in High Point, NC.

“Our department made the decision to try financing select vehicles initially in 2013. We chose Sparta Commercial Municipal Leasing as a source, as we could see they had a good reputation in the community and had a good existing relationship with our vehicle vendor. Our needs were a bit specialized in that we required funds disbursed not only for the vehicle, but for cage, video and communication accessories as well,” said Frank Dilworth of the Holden Beach police department. “Sparta was able to smoothly work with all of our vendors on the financing side, allowing us to concentrate on the simple delivery of the vehicle. We have since gone back to Sparta in 2014 and again just now in 2016. Nothing has changed – Sparta makes the process as easy as possible and gives us flexibility in our budget so we don’t have to decide between competing needs.”

“We’ve seen a clear pattern in that municipal agencies that use our program often use it again as new needs arise,” said Anthony Havens, CEO of Sparta Commercial Services. “This naturally recurring business is great for the company as it allows us to concentrate our marketing efforts in more needed places, and it is great for the clients we serve as they can be confident that they will be supported by a reliable solution when new equipment is required.”

Sparta has already provided finance leasing to 24 other Carolina agencies, including the cities of Raleigh, Charlotte and Greenville.
