Capital One Just Wounded The Auto Sales Industry

The Economic Ninja

According to Capital One, the auto sales industry is in trouble and they are no longer offering loans to dealerships as auto finance gets tighter. Capital One cites an increase in delinquencies, high-interest rates, and increasing competition from online lenders as reasons for this decision. This move by Capital One is likely to have a significant effect on the auto sales industry, as dealerships will have to find other sources of financing or face closure. This is a very big deal, as the auto sales industry is a major part of the economy in many areas of the country. We'll update you as soon as we have more information.
