Newton Grove, NC Again Turns to Sparta's Municipal Lease Program

NEW YORK, Aug. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. (OTCBB: SRCO) announced today that through its Municipal Lease Program, the Company has entered into a second agreement in as many years to provide the Newton Grove, NC police department with the financing necessary to further expand its fleet of Dodge Charger police cruisers. Newton Grove is one of nine North Carolina municipalities utilizing Sparta's Municipal Lease Program to meet their essential equipment needs, and the second thus far to return to the Sparta program for their new vehicular requirements.

The Sparta Municipal Lease Program is becoming increasingly popular among towns and cities across the country as a smarter and more economical way to acquire their necessary equipment, since the Sparta program enables any municipality to pay for those acquisitions over time, rather than entirely up-front through traditional purchasing. Sparta's financing program eliminates the governmental burden of having to include large capital outlays in any given fiscal year. At a time when municipal budgets are especially tight, local officials are being drawn to Sparta's Municipal Leasing Program in ever greater numbers.

Sheila Barefoot, Newton Grove's Finance Officer, said, "When it came time to add to our fleet of police cruisers, we didn't hesitate. Sparta's program simply made good sense to us. It was an obvious choice, not just because it saves us money, but also because of the outstanding support and assistance that their municipal leasing professionals have extended to us in the past."

Amy Hill, Fleet Sales Manager at Ilderton Dodge, the same dealer that has provided the Dodge Chargers to Newton Grove before, as well as to other local police agencies, added, "This is the sixth transaction we've done with Sparta's Municipal Division, and I hope there will be many more. In our business, whenever we're providing police cars to local governments under a lease arrangement, it is essential that the process be easy and smooth.  Sparta goes far beyond our expectations, and always has."

Also commenting on the latest Newton Grove transaction, Anthony Havens, CEO of Sparta, said, "Whenever we have the kind of confidence shown by this type of repeat business it's especially gratifying, and it reinforces the value of our Municipal Lease Program and the success of the relationship-building our professional staff is able to achieve. We look forward to supporting Newton Grove, and the other North Carolina municipalities we're doing business with, well into the future."
