In recent weeks the 3 largest automakers have pulled out of leasing. This seems to be affecting the industry already. According to Automotive News one in every 5 vehicles sold was a lease. This is up from 2003 when 1 out of 3 vehicles sold was a lease.

What might happen with these leasing numbers in the near future? Unfortunately, with Chrysler, their leasing partner Chase had pulled out of offering leases, so this took them away from the leasing arena. Knowing this, that means that a few things we could see starting to happen:
1. Consumers begin to purchase vehicles by foreign auto makers.
2. Auto lenders offer lower interest rates.
3. Longer term auto loans becomes a much more common practice.
4. More motorcycles and scooters sales.

What happens in the up and coming months will most likely determine what the actual affect is, and who will survive these changes.
With these auto industry changes it could also affect lead generation companies. Will it increase the number of consumers going online to get an auto, or will it not really have too much affect on the overall lead generation industry? Time will tell.
Leadpile Auto Lead Exchange will have open arms no matter what the outcome is.

IDEA: Maybe with all the changes going on in the auto industry and gas being so high, Leadpile might want to consider bringing in “scooter” and “motorcycle” leads? ummmmmmm?
