Navigating the rising interest rate environment: The changing landscape of the Canadian automotive industry
In today's turbulent economic landscape, Canadians are feeling the pinch as interest rates soar, not only in the housing market but also in the automotive industry. With the average prime rate for both new and used vehicles on the rise, many households are grappling with increased financial constraints. As a result, car owners are looking for ways to alleviate their cash flow pressure, with an increasing number of them turning to liquidity options for their vehicles.
Car Loan Default Rates: To underscore the gravity of the situation, recent data on car loan default rates in Canada reveals a concerning trend. As interest rates continue to climb, some car owners are struggling to meet their loan obligations. This has sparked a sense of urgency among those seeking liquidity options for their vehicles.
