The most recent Experian State of the Automotive Finance Market report shows more consumers are leasing vehicles. Leases accounted for 28.4 percent of all new vehicles financed in Q4
2013 – the highest level on record since 2006.

The change in credit standards gives consumers more financing options, but also means lenders need to consistently monitor both marketing and credit risk strategies.
