Add to that the $1.2B in automotive loan debt, the automotive industry’s addiction to leasing, and the 9% default rate on auto loans (more than 20% now made to people with FICO < 660).

Your numbers are way off.

Auto loan balances increased by $23 billion, continuing their 6-year trend. Auto loan delinquency rates increased slightly, with 4.0% of auto loan balances 90 or more days delinquent on September 30.

According to the New York Fed report, most of the subprime delinquencies are held by finance companies. While the delinquency rate is around 4% for subprime loans issued by banks and credit unions, finance companies have a 9.7% default rate. Finance companies also hold approximately two-thirds of the total subprime auto loan debt – in essence, verifying the risk factors associated with subprime loans.

Auto loan originations remain high in the third quarter of 2017. The $150.6 billion value reported by the Fed is the second-highest level in over a decade. However, there has been some market correction to reduce the subprime risk. Auto loans to consumers with credit scores below 660 decreased by 8.3% over the previous quarter, while loans for borrowers with scores over 660 increased by 5.4%.
