The authorization process for NAHB members to receive $500 towards the purchase or lease of most new GM passenger cars, light-duty trucks, vans and SUVs — whether for business or personal use —just got easier.

Members who want to purchase or lease a new 2008, 2009 or 2010 model year Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac, GMC or Cadillac passenger car and light-duty truck, van or SUV can simply go to the NAHB Web site to for the authorization information needed to participate in GM’s $500 exclusive offer

The GM offer can be combined with most retail national and regional incentives in effect at the time of delivery.
