CareerEdge Announces New Affordable Car Purchase Program for Low-Income Workers

MANATEE/SARASOTA, Fla. (Oct. 23, 2012) – CareerEdge of Florida Inc, in partnership with the Manatee Community Federal Credit Union and Enterprise Car Sales, announced the development of a new affordable car purchase program for low-income workers in Manatee County. The new Reliable Rides program enables low-income workers and families to buy affordable vehicles for work and other essential family business.   “Having a reliable vehicle to provide transportation to and from work is essential to maintain steady employment,” said CareerEdge’s Executive Director Mireya Eavey. “Many workers and families are currently unable to purchase a reliable car because of debt or credit challenges causing high finance rates. We partnered with Manatee Community Federal Credit Union and Enterprise Car Sales to address this issue and provide reliable transportation to low-income families.”   Vehicles for Reliable Rides are available for purchase through Enterprise Car Sales. Vehicles available are pre-owned, late-modeled cars selected for low mileage and affordability. Each vehicle comes with a 12-month/12,000 mile powertrain warranty, vehicle certification, 12-month roadside assistance, and a seven-day repurchase agreement.   Financing for Reliable Rides is available through Manatee Community Federal Credit Union for eligible applicants who work, worship, live or are students in Manatee County or work with CareerEdge of Florida.
