I have been informed ...I am looking for some help! I have been informed by an auto dealer here in BC that a recent Dealer20 meeting (held in the U.S.)revealed that the F&I office was generating ON AVERAGE $4000-ish per unit, largely accounted for due to "consolidation" loans the dealership was managing to get approved (& include?) with a car loan for their customers. I don't know about you but this really surprises me. Your northern neighbors, we typically don't see averages in this range. Is this common, the consolidation loan with an auto loan? I thought it was tough enough lately to get a deal approved at all, never mind to include consolidation?! Would this be done through a private financial company?<BR/><BR/>Any suggestions you can offer are appreciated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
