September: U.S. Auto Industry Holds Strong Despite Japanese Comeback

2012 continues to be a strong year for the U.S. auto industry with September once again posting great sales numbers.

According to the Daily Beast, analysts expected that U.S. auto sales would hit an annualized pace of 14.5 million in September, but they exceeded that with 14.87 million. Chrysler saw a sales increase of 12 percent compared to September 2011, and Jeep saw a 10 percent increase. Also, fuel-efficient vehicles continued to perform solidly, and U.S. brands held their ground even as Japanese brands Toyota and Honda made a comeback.

How is the U.S. auto industry maintaining this pace? One of the biggest factors is that car shoppers with damaged credit are still getting approved for auto loans. In 2012 so far, 1 in 4 auto loans have been subprime loans, and the average amount financed for auto loans overall has increased while monthly payments have barely changed. Those are great conditions for buying a new or used car, even for consumers who thought they couldn’t afford a car or get approved for an auto loan.

At Approved Loan Store, we love getting our customers into great new or used cars at terms they can afford! Good credit, bad credit, no credit, we want to help you!

Time Magazine: September is the Best Month for Car Deals

Have you been procrastinating on buying a new car? Industry experts say that September will be the best time to buy all year for those looking for wide selection and low prices, particularly on used cars.

According to Time Magazine’s Moneyland, September is the best time to buy 7 products: cars, jewelry, summer weather-related products, back-to-school products, plants, stoves, and produce. What makes September so special for the auto industry? Well, most dealerships have received the 2013 models by September, and they are ready to be out with the old and in with the new. 2012 models will be deeply discounted, even if they don’t have a lot of miles on them, and dealerships will want to move them out the door.

Unfortunately, this means that by the end of September, most of the choice inventory will be picked over, and while car buyers might still get some good deals in the last few months of the year, they will have probably missed out on an even better deal. If there was a time to get looking for that new or used car, it is September.

Approved Loan Store wants to help you get in on these September deals. Good credit, bad credit, no credit, we want to get you into a great new or used car.
