1/ Figures are predominantly for late model used cars but include data
from a few banks for all used cars.
Note: —Distributions are based on tabulations of data from 12$ banks for
January and February and are not intended to be estimates for all commercial
banks. In February, reports covered about 35,000 contracts on new cars, 24,000
purchased and 11,000 direct, and 29,000 contracts on used cars, 19,000 purchased
and 10,000 direct. Data are not comparable with previous releases since composition of the group of banks changes from month to month.
For distribution according to maturities and contract balances as a percentage of dealer cost see following pages.
