Toyota Motor Corp. and Ford Motor Co. Posted U.S. sales gains in the month of March as the industry incentives are improving consumer confidence bringing buyers back into showrooms.

General Motors Co. deliveries rose 21 percent, enough to over take Ford, which had the top spot in the U.S. in February for the first time since 1998. Ford's sales rose 40 percent, Toyota's sales jumped 41 percent.

Total U.S. sales advanced 24 percent from levels in March 2009, the automaker's weakest demand in almost three decades.

Toyota to offer 0% financing

Toyota Yaris - eligible for 0% financing

In an effort to jump start new sales after the rash of bad publicity over recent recalls, Toyota is rolling out a nationwide zero percent interest promotion for up to 60 months.  Toyota models that will be eligible for the 0% financing include the Camry, Rav4, Yaris, Avalon, Corolla, Matrix & Highlander.  Combined, these vehicles represent approximately 80% of all US sales.

Alternatively, Toyota will also be offering attractive lease options - for example a Corolla can be had for as low as $179 per month in some regions of the country.
