The nice thing about large public car dealerships is that, being a public company, they are required to report profits. Why is that important? Because we (you and I) can read results like F&I income. F&I, or finance and insurance, is the money the dealer makes after you buy the vehicle. The profit is from: *(F)inance*, the markup in rate or kickback from the financier, and *(I)nsurance*sales like life, accident, health, warranties, and gap insurance. "Oh that can't be much" you say. Well here are the numbers from two groups: 1. Sonic, a large holding company of dealers, last quarter reported $1259 per car. $1259. 2. Lithia, a large Medford-based car holding company (8th in the nation), reported a mere $1202. That's money AFTER the purchase of the car. At Auto Solution we do not have an F&I department. You buy the car from us and get Credit Union financing from your own institution. Simple and easy, no $1200 F&I profit. So, if you want a car, call us. You want a loan, call your Credit Union. Put the $1200+ in your pocket! Oh, one more thing. Those web sites that promise a true price? Call us. We'll get you that price, or better, and you still won't have F&I to deal with. There is a reason we've been around for over 20 years. Call one of our offices.
