Rocksolid,

From your contacts in the Industry, do you hear about there been less companies offering these low rates of interest on car purchases or is ita case of the manufacturers will do anything for sales.

If they screw up finance companies or the value of second hand stock at their dealers, then that is a just collateral damage to keep the manufacturer selling cars.
