According to Experian Automotive, outstanding loan balances reached $782.9 billion in the third quarter of 2013. This is a new all-time high for auto loan balances.
California reported the highest spike in balances – up 29.3%.
Experian Automotive noted that the average dollar amount past due rose in both the 30 and 60 day delinquency categories as did the average charge-off amount on failed auto loans.
Vehicle repossession rates also increased from .40% to .62% of all auto loans in the last year.
