After graduating from The University of Arizona with a BS In finance, Clint Papesch founded AutoLine Leasing with financing and marketing with credit unions. But as leasing grew – so did risk. Residual values were over inflated and AutoLine carefully ended this financing model while banks suffered exceptional losses. Today, the only viable leasing programs are offered by the deep pocket captive finance companies.
Moving away from retail sales, AutoLine offered dealerships the same referrals on a credit union branded $50 coupon, “AutoCash” deployed to members in the vehicle loan market. The “reward” is redeemed at the dealer in exchange for credit union financing from the resulting sale. AutoCash includes dealer recruiting, gift fulfillment, loan reports and frontline training at the credit union.
AutoLine offers an exclusive dealership product known as a “Be Back Coupon”. When a walk away customer returns, to the dealership, the closing rate is twice the rate of a new walk-in customer. The problem is that only 10-15% of walk-out customers return to the dealer – this is an expensive issue. To help resolve dealer showroom walk-away customers, AutoLine now offers a $25 Be Back Coupon with twice the return rate.
Today, with skyrocketing vehicle prices, AutoLine has re-invented the lease program – but with a conservative balloon loan called Equity Balloon Loan. This unique structure includes a residual loan balance that is 50% below the vehicle projected value at loan maturity. Perfect for customers who desire to own – not lease but are on a budget and prefer to drive a new vehicle. Equity Balloon Loan is limited to credit union indirect lending and embraced by dealer F&I mangers.
With two adult children, and a lovely wife, Mary, Clint enjoys pickleball, Cross Fit and motorcycle riding in Cleveland, Ohio during the limited summer months.
