Today, the majority of auto financing is done on site at the dealership. Last year alone, more than 40 million auto financing transactions occurred at dealerships. Dealing in such large volume allows dealers to offer competitive rates and access to multiple financing sources.

About AWARE

Recognizing the need for consumer education, automotive industry leaders have formed AWARE (Americans Well-informed on Automobile Retailing Economics), a collaborative industry effort to provide consumers with information, tools, and other resources to better understand the auto financing system. The membership of AWARE includes the American Financial Services Association, National Automobile Dealers Association, National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers, American International Automobile Dealers Association, and auto dealers and finance companies. All of the companies and associations involved have a long history of educating consumers about auto financing, and they are looking to expand that outreach by collaborating with others that share this commitment.

In educating consumers about auto financing and ways to make informed financing decisions, the group seeks to ensure that financing remains available and affordable to the broadest possible spectrum of consumers. Dealer financing is not only convenient, but it also offers competitive rates for consumers across the country.
