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

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 .
