1 / Figures are predominately for l a t e model used cars but. include data from a
few banks for a l l used cars.
NOTE: Distributions are based on
oulations o f data from 133 banks for
July and August and are not intended to be estimates for a l l commercial banks.
In August reports covered about 32,000 contracts on new cars, 22,000 purchased
and 10,000 d i r e c t , and 25,000 contracts on used cars, 18,000 purchased and
7,000 direct. Since composition of the group of banks changes from month to
month, data are not comparable with previous r e l e a s e s .
For distribution according to maturities and contract balance as a percentage of dealer c o s t , see following pages.
