Demand for used vehicles is strong as supply remains limited and affordability is top of mind for consumers.  

The used-car turnover rate rose 8.4% year over year in August to 43 days for franchise dealers, signifying that inventory is being sold quickly.  

As consumers look for more affordable cars, inflationary pressures weigh on credit performance. Auto loans 30-plus days delinquent increased 16 basis points YoY to 2.88% in the second quarter.  

Credit access tightened in August, with the Dealertrack Credit Availability Index down 0.5% month over month and 1.7% YoY to 92.5.  

In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and Associate Editors Ashley Savage and James Van Bramer discuss the updates in affordability and sales for the week ending Sept. 13.
