Eastern Financial Florida Credit Union, said it netted $1.8 million in loans in March as a result of an on-site car sale at which members bought more than 88 new and used cars. The credit union, which worked with AutoAdvisors in assembling the sale, said that more than 500 people turned out for the 10-hour event at which rates as low as 3.99% were available. EFFCU also recognized Teller Loran Danford, who learned of one member who wanted to visit the sale but did not have a car. Danford gave up her day off and drove the member to the sale, where she bought a car.
