F&I revenue soars among big retailers - Survey: 2015 total rises 14% from a year earlier to $7.9 billion

摘要

U.S. auto sales growth may be slowing, but finance and insurance revenue rose by double digits last year at the 150 largest U.S.-based dealership groups, which took in a combined $1 billion more than they did in 2014. Retail customers of the groups paid an average of $1,359 for F&I products in 2015, 4.8 percent more per new and used vehicle sold, according to Automotive News' third annual F&I survey. Total F&I dollars increased 14 percent, compared with an 8.9 percent gain in new and used retail sales.
