It appears that once the dealers get past the initial enrollment process and verify they're using the correct forms the funding is timely. Maybe more dealers will be sending deals to Santander..... |

we did another one yesterday, no other option for the customer who was happy to pay 18%. 2 or 3 of these deals a month and we'll be very happy.

The last four or five deals that we sent came back rightaway as withdrawn.
We figured that for one reason or another the customer didn't meet their guidelines... When our rep called to see why we weren't sending any apps, we told him about this. He called us back and said that other dealers are saying the same thing. He said he would be looking into this and get back to us. |

Even if it's only a couple of deals a month, I like the idea that it reminds your sales staff that they need to bring every deal to the desk. It really helps morale when some of those "impossible" deals get approved and funded. |

Maybe there are some system glitches that were causing deals to be withdrawn? Please let us know what you find out when you hear back from your Santander rep. |

we had 2 withdrawn yesterday,too. I figured it was because they were over qualified for Santander's program.

Just did our first deal with Santander very painless. It funded with in 2 days. Contracted Date 11/13/2010 Received Date 11/16/2010 Funded Date 11/17/2010. Maybe they have speed up the funding process since the start of the "Chrysler" program. Our deal was on a used G6.

Any impact to Santander due to their recent downgrade?
I thought I'd bump this thread to see how active Santander's been in the market and ask if there's been any change in Santander's buying practices or rates given their recent downgrade?
Here's a link to an article reporting that Moody's cut Santander's debt rating due to the financial crisis in Europe - click here While I'm no financial expert, it appears Santander suffers from some of the same problems that GMAC experienced - declining loan performance on their real estate portfolio. Ironically, the article I linked above indicates that Santander's plans to reduce their exposure to real estate by issuing fewer loans will likely put more pressure on the real estate market and may contribute to a further decline in real estate prices. Does that sound familiar? That seems to be the exact same situation the U.S. faced at the beginning of the real estate collapse back in 2008 and 2009. In fairness, it's entirely possible that Santander's problems in Europe have zero impact on their ability to issue U.S. auto loans - that's why I wanted to bump this thread and ask for some commentary. |

Actually they have been easier to deal with, both in terms of approval and rates. Don't know the reason...we'll take it!

Maybe Santander's following Fiat's business plan and using the strength of the U.S. market to weather the storm they're facing back home? |
