Subprime portfolio loss metrics compiled by Subprime Analytics showed a number of improvements in 2019 compared to 2018 including the average gross dollar loss, net dollar loss, and more. We all know, however, that 2020 will be one for the record books, and we won’t know it positive or negative impacts for some time, though anecdotally the subprime and BHPH marketplace has remained strong, at least in most regions of the country.

Used Vehicle Prices Rising

According to Cox’s Kelley Blue Book, the average price of a used car rose 8.3% from February through August 2020, to $21,932. During the same period, the average new vehicle price rose 2% to $38,635. Prices for used vehicles were up 6.7% in September 2020, the largest month-over-month increase since February 1969. As new car sales all but stopped during the height of the pandemic lockdowns in the early spring and factories were shuttered, used vehicle sales remained fairly strong, but with low new car supply, used car prices rose, and demand has increased.

Industry Challenges

Our industry remains in good health despite the economic headwinds caused by the pandemic. Layoffs, furloughs, and business closures have resulted in millions of unemployed consumers. Federal and state economic assistance has helped to ease the pain, but those in the subprime finance industry have had to make collections and repossession decisions with little precedent to guide them. Technology, the data it generates, and AI-powered analytics has assisted these professionals with real-time decisioning.

Delinquencies have picked up, as have losses on subprime loans according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
