Although it's reported that the subprime paper market generates 50 billion a year in the auto dealership industry, financing high credit risk customers still could be dangerous, but very profitable at the same time Today you have more customers walking into dealerships that experienced financial setbacks. Nevertheless, customers having financial setbacks could put them into the "C" or even the "D" credit category, which can be a problem for auto dealerships.
"C" or even "D" credit category customers can cause problems for auto dealerships because they are confronted with the decision of turning away these types of customers that fall into these categories who want to purchase an vehicle because traditional banks or controlled finance sources majority of the time won't finance them. Unfortunately, if auto dealerships are unable to finance "c" or "d" credit category customers, they may have competitors that may be able to and that will only mean more business for their competitors.
It just appears in the auto dealership industry, if you want to get the edge over your competitors, you will have to be able to finance "c" or even "d" credit category customers. However, it also appears that the auto dealerships that have specialized departments set up or have the extra surplus capital available, the ability to make credit decisions and are capable and also willing to take a risk in maintaining these types of receivables, will have an huge advantage over their competitors when it comes to financing subprime customers.
This article wasn't written to critique anyone in the auto dealership industry at all, but just to give insight and to open your eyes to subprime customers.
