Ally finances over 50% of Chrysler's Retail Sales

Yesterday's news about Chrysler's Lease Program with U.S. Bank caused reporters to ask about Chrysler's relationship with their captive, Ally.

I was surprised to read that Ally has financed 52.5% of Chrysler's retail sales so far in 2010. When you factor in cash deals, credit unions and other lending institutions, I thought that number was pretty high.

Is Ally a volume source for all dealerships or is it "hit and miss" where they have high loyalty with some stores and low with others?

I'm at 75% plus loyalty ever month, mainly because my better credit customers prefer the special APR to the rebate, and I think that I get more used cars financed by sending them a spread of the new. I am a small dealer, but I got 1 D and 1 E tier done last month -- both on used cars -- as well as a customer on a new Kia without a credit score.
Financing is all about finding out what your lenders would like to see, and doing it.... Or going without that lender. I just don't have the volume to keep everyone happy, so I make sure that I feed the ones that I need....

They are definitely our #1 source at the moment.

We only send Subvented Customers to Ally on new cars. For used and customers who want the "Consumer Cash" get sent to Huntington National Bank at 3.24% on new and get 3% in revs.

I don't let Ally look at our used vehicles because after I hold 2 points the rate sucks, and Huntington has great rates on used in my state.

X-2! Buying fairly well... even on used as mentioned above.
