Car loans sell a lot


In the years leading up to the 2008 financial crash and beyond, auto lending became a big-ticket revenue item for banks. Since the economic landscape in the U.S. has improved, loan originations have gone up. The Federal Reserve notes that the total reached $85.8 billion during the third quarter of 2012.


"There is always a demand for autos," said automotive finance director Melinda Zabritski of Experian Plc. "You also have banks with money to lend."


The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is aiming more at banks that originate auto loans than they are direct dealerships because dealerships are not really under the jurisdiction of the CFPB, according to attorney Stuart Rossman of the National Consumer Law Center. The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 did not directly name dealerships.

It is really good that dealers can adjust auto lending rates, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association. It expands access to credit quite a bit, according to Bloomberg. Customers end up paying more than the cost of the loan through a bank when the loan comes through the dealer, which is unreasonable, according to CFPB. Dealer markup on loans is discriminatory.
