Weird. The Fitch Floorplan Monthly Payment Rate index is really high, which is usually an indication of strength . . . pandemic data onwards looks weird, generally. Maybe MPR is so high because issuance is low?
Past 10 days have been wild: — Capital One shut off all dealer floorplans (aka inventory lines of credit) — USA Auto Sales shut down 39 dealerships after losing its Ally floor plan — Wells fargo laid-off all its junior Auto loan underwriters and capped future loans Insanity.
