Forecasting Resale Value Trends - Automotive Fleet & Leasing

advertisement

2007 AFLA Conference

Tom Webb www.manheimconsulting.com

Top five factors influencing acquisitions:

 Need to keep fuel costs within budgetary constraints

Corporate initiatives to reduce “carbon footprint”

 Right-sizing cargo-carrying vehicles and SUVs to improve fuel efficiency

Finding “van” replacements as manufacturers change or eliminate their product offerings

 Anticipating / maximizing manufacturer incentive monies

 Classify by market segment

 Account for shifts in mileage

 Weight to provide unchanging mix

 Seasonally adjust

Subprime Auto Lending

 Hard to over-emphasize importance

– $100 billion in annual originations.

– More than 40% of all used vehicle financing is subprime.

Industry currently in “sweet spot”

– Originations growing, defaults declining, recovery rates rising, credit ratings upgraded.

– Fragmented, but consolidating industry.

 Cautions

– Borrowers are highly leveraged and sensitive to gas prices.

– Growth in subprime mortgages adds a new wrinkle.

– Industry is prone to cycles.

27

Why Subprime Auto Loans Do Not Equal

Subprime Mortgage Loans

 Better loans

 Fixed rates versus adjustable

 Experience with previous cycles

 Mortgage broker / lender relationship versus F&I manager / lender relationship

 Collateral expectations and results

Conclusions

 Slower growth, but growth

 Many conflicting forces impacting different demographic groups differently

 Further separation between good and great dealers

 The tailwinds that have pushed wholesale used vehicle prices upward will ease slightly.

35

Summary and Review of Economic and Industry

Events That Will Influence Used Vehicle Values

 Housing Market -the drag continues.

 Subprime Lending -the differences between mortgages and auto loans.

 Gasoline Prices -world demand continues to grow.

 UAW Negotiations -concessions for sure, but how willingly given?

 U.S. Economic Recovery -solid fundamentals, but slower growth ahead.

 Retail Used Vehicle Market -profitable, but higher acquisition costs increasingly difficult to pass on .
