Carvana has lowered its interest rates as its profitability, sales and finance volume improve. The Tempe, Ariz.-based retailer in the past year has focused on expanding inventory to meet consumers' needs as car prices rise, improving customer experience and using AI to streamline transactions, Matt Dundas, vice president of finance, tells Auto Finance News during a special episode of “The Roadmap” podcast. The efforts, he says, are in line with the retailer's goal to sell 3 million units per year in the next five to 10 years at a 13.5% adjusted EBITDA margin. “On that profitability piece, we're relatively close to that midterm goal that we've set for that four-to nine-year horizon,” he says. “That's allowed us, as we continue to make fundamental gains across both finance and the rest of the business, to return some of that back to consumers to drive more value in the Carvana platform.” The retailer reduced interest rates by about 100 basis points in the fourth quarter, Chief Executive Ernie Garcia said on the company's earnings call in February. Rate cuts have contributed to improved financing penetration, Dundas said. “About four out of five customers historically have financed with Carvana,” he said. “We've seen that ratio start to improve over the last year as we get more competitive with our rates.” As of the first quarter, Carvana's originations totaled $4.3 billion, up 59.3% YoY . Sales climbed 40% YoY to 187,393 units in Q1. Carvana's portfolio also rose 38.5% YoY to $22.4 billion at yearend 2025, according to the latest Big Wheels ranking data. “As Carvana grows, we grow as the lending business,” Dundas says on the podcast. In this episode of “The Roadmap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris and Dundas dive into the retailer's growth and innovation strategy in 2025 and the rest of 2026.
Fewer work utes, vans and truck were sold in April, compared to the previous year, which motor industry experts say is further evidence of shaky business confidence. Overall vehicle registrations last month were up almost 12 per cent compared to April 2025.
Gas prices are continuing to climb. On Wednesday, according to AAA, the average price in Minnesota was $4.15. It's averaging even higher in the seven-county metro at $4.24. You may have looked at the price at the pump recently and wished you had an electric car. But data shows the number of Minnesotans buying electric dropped by 50 percent in the last few months of 2025. From January through October of 2025, EVs made up 8.4 percent of vehicle registrations in the state. In November and December, that dropped to 3.9 percent, according to the Minnesota Automobile Dealers Association.Association President Scott Lambert said high gas prices are unlikely to reverse the trend. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini for a check-in on the EV industry.

An electric vehicle provider saw an uptake in electric and hybrid car sales over the weekend as fuel prices continue to soar. BYD General Manager Warren Wilmot told Mike Hosking the number of fully electric and hybrid BYD cars bought on Saturday quadrupled their usual sale. “We sold 80 on Saturday as opposed to the usual 20 to 25 we sell on a Saturday. “Our Australian friends did even better they sold 902.” Wilmot told Hosking a lot of people had already done their research and were sitting on the fence about whether to buy one, and that they “took the opportunity now.” “Higher fuel prices aren't great for anyone; you know the cost will go up for us too for shipment and other things.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Despite a rise in subprime financing share in the fourth quarter of 2025, affordability remains a key focus for auto lenders and dealers as lower-income consumers continue to be disproportionately affected by higher everyday costs. Subprime share of total vehicle financing in Q4 2025 stood at 15.3%, up from 14.5% a year earlier, according to Experian data. Prime borrowers continued to lead market share for new-vehicle financing as subprime customers remain challenged by high vehicle costs, but Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and tax refunds will potentially bring some relief in 2026. Affordability challenges contributed to a slowdown in retail vehicle sales across much of the country in the first part of the year, evidenced by trends in the March 3 edition of the Fed's Beige Book. Dealers across many Fed regions reported flat to decreased new- and used-car sales as higher interest rates and rising gas prices further tightened consumers' wallets. The war in the Middle East has contributed to higher oil and gas prices since the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, which could raise funding costs and prompt a shift in investors' strategies. Meanwhile, powersports lender Octane has shored up additional funding as it aims to grow originations and its captive-as-a-service offering. New York-based Octane's originations rose 29% year over year to $2.1 billion in 2025. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Deputy Editor Johnnie Martinez II and associate editor Aidan Bush discuss top trends across macroeconomic dynamics, affordability, funding and powersports lending for the week ended March 6.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news economic optimism seems to be on the rise in many places, but not in the world's largest economy.First in the US, not only is the federal government shut down still, but it is Veterans Day, a Federal holiday, although many firms still operate including the NYSE. But the Wall Street bond market is formally closed.The US Senate passed a short-term compromise to end the shutdown impasse, and the lower House is now getting ready to consider the measure and they are likely to go along with it when they vote.Meanwhile the new weekly ADP Employment report recorded a decrease in private payrolls last week, and unexpected softness. Even though this is very new weekly data, it is a key way the US labour market is being monitored now given the temporarily-closed official data agency (and doubts about its partisan leadership).And prospects for the upcoming holiday hiring season seem to have turned gloomy. And it may not only be hiring that will be restrained; prospects for US Black Friday and Thanksgiving holiday retail sales aren't looking too bright as tariff-taxes weigh on the 'bargains'.The NFIB Small Business Optimism Index fell marginally in October but to a level that is the lowest in six months. These firms say sales increases are harder to find.But across the Pacific in Japan, the October Economy Watchers Survey delivered an upbeat result that was better than expected, not only about current conditions but also the outlook six months ahead.In China, sales data for October shows their car sales rising yet again, up from the high September level to be +8.8% above year-ago levels at 3.3 mln vehicles. NEV sales were again the strongest sector. October sales start the push to the seasonally peak month in December and that will almost certainly come in at a new record month, likely somewhere near 3.8 mln units. That would mean 2025 sales will exceed 35 mln units, almost double that of the US.In Germany, the latest ZEW survey continues the "cautiously optimistic" tone they have had for six month now.In Australia, the Westpac consumer confidence survey was suddenly quite positive, the first positive result since early 2022 and a seven year high. It reported that Christmas spending plans will be less restrained than last year. Consumers think the domestic economy is improving while they think trade risks are subsiding. One group however reported less confidence - those in their 'mortgage belt. They see interest rate risks along with job security risks.Meanwhile, there wasn't the same uplift in business confidence however. The NAB business sentiment survey reported little-change in October, just marginally lower than in September.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.07%, down -4 bps from yesterday at this time after the ADP payroll news.The price of gold will start today at US$4113/oz, up +US$22 from this time yesterday.American oil prices are +US$1.50 higher from yesterday at just on US$61/bbl, with the international Brent price at US$65/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at just under 56.6 USc, and up almost +30 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are also +30 bps firmer at 86.7 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 48.8 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 61.1 and up +20 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$103,599 and down -1.5% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.9%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.
Auto retailers and fintechs mostly reported growth in the third quarter amid mixed October retail sales, flat vehicle values and some layoffs. CarMax named David McCreight as its interim president and CEO, replacing Bill Nash, effective Dec. 1. Nash is not retiring, and the shakeup comes as the Richmond, Va.-based retailer's comparable store used-vehicle retail sales are expected to drop between 8% and 12% year over year in the third quarter of its fiscal 2026, according to CarMax's Nov. 6 release. Meanwhile, EV makers Lucid Motors and Rivian saw deliveries jump 46.6% YoY and 31.8% YoY, respectively, in the third quarter ended Sept. 30. AI-powered lending platform Upstart also saw growth in Q3, with auto loan originations up 357.1% YoY on issuance of 6,705 loans, according to a Nov. 4 Upstart presentation. However, fintech Open Lending saw certified loan volume drop 13% YoY to 23,880, according to its Nov. 6 release. The fall came as Open Lending prepares to roll out a new credit decisioning platform. Vroom subsidiary United Auto Credit Corp. also originated $107 million in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, up 7% year over year but down 6.1% quarter over quarter. The mostly positive Q3 reports came as auto lenders tightened their credit standards. The average new-vehicle auto loan rate increased 19 basis points month over month in October to 9.6%, according to Cox Automotive. This rise is despite a 25-basis-point cut by the Federal Reserve on Oct. 29. Meanwhile, lender Prestige Financial Services reportedly laid off employees in early November, according to posts from former employees. The reported layoffs come as the subprime market faces challenges in affordability and credit performance. With these headwinds and elimination of the federal EV tax credit, automakers reported mixed sales in October. Toyota Motor North America saw sales surge 11.8% YoY to 207,910 vehicles, while Mazda's sales plummeted 32.6% YoY to 25,161 vehicles, according to the companies. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris discusses trends across third-quarter earnings, vehicle values and sales for the week ended Nov. 7.
Ray White speaks to Billy Tom, president of Naamsa, about how domestic new vehicle sales are set to surpass pre-pandemic levels for the first time in five years, driven by strong consumer demand for affordable models—especially from Chinese and Indian brands—amid lower interest rates and improving economic conditions.

There's been another monthly surge in Clare's Electric Vehicle sales. The latest figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry show 92 EVs were sold here last month. Althought a sales boost is common given the new registration plates in July, the figure is double the 46 EVs sold here this time last year. SIMI Director General Brian Cooke says government supports need to be maintained to keep this activity going.
Marley Kayden talks all about Tesla (TSLA) ahead of the company's highly anticipated earnings. She notes the Mag 7 company has only had one year-over-year vehicle delivery drop prior to 2024, noting the figure will be under the microscope after sales plunged since. Marley adds that investors are waiting for more information on a slew of other developments: from robotaxi and full-self driving, to robotics and timelines on tech availability.

Uncertainty defined much of the conversation at Auto Finance Summit East 2025 last week in Nashville, Tenn., with auto lenders highlighting affordability, auto tariffs, EV dynamics and technology as top-of-mind considerations headed into the rest of the year. Auto tariffs were a resounding theme throughout the event, as lenders discussed inventory and pricing dynamics, mixed consumer demand and the possibility of longer-term loans to address affordability. Against the backdrop of higher vehicle prices and tariffs, Chase Auto and Santander Consumer USA are leaning into relationships with manufacturers to drive growth. Auto lenders are also diving into AI and automation to improve customer experience, tap refinance demand and enhance underwriting processes. Despite potential elimination of the federal EV tax credit, lenders are bullish on the sector as manufacturers remain committed to electrification goals. In this episode of “Weekly Wrap,” Auto Finance News Editor Amanda Harris, Senior Associate Editor Truth Headlam and Associate Editor Aidan Bush discuss top takeaways from Auto Finance Summit East 2025.

The first half of 2025 is expected to bring stabilizing delinquencies, increased demand for automotive refinance and mixed vehicle price and sales dynamics. Auto loan delinquencies are projected to cool in the second quarter as the market stabilizes, improving lenders' appetite for auto credit. Auto originations are also expected to increase between 12% to 20% as tax refunds boost consumer demand. Refinance volume is expected to pick up in 2025 as interest rates decline and lenders revamp their refi products to tap into consumer demand. Rates and vehicle prices also will define sales and pricing trends across the automotive industry as pending tariffs are poised to raise car prices by thousands of dollars.
