In 2008, Clint Papesch founded AutoLine. Papesch
began his career in the auto business when he worked For Transportation Leasing founded by his father, John In 1960.
​
Early days in the world of auto leasing were special. Conservative residual values were used to reduce the risk associated with the vehicle turn-in process. Papesch developed and offered a credit union funded auto leasing program that leveraged member referrals into the business in exchange
for exclusive credit union lending. But as leasing grew – so did risk. Residual values were over inflated, and all the banks suffered exceptional losses. Today, the only viable leasing programs are offered by the deep pocket captive finance companies.
Moving away from retail sales, Papesch offered
dealerships the same referrals on a credit union
branded 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. Today, AutoLine manages dealer recruiting, gift fulfillment, loan reports and frontline training at the credit union.
In addition to AutoCash, Papesch has re-invented the lease program – but with a conservative balloon loan called Loan Balance 24 (LB24). 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 payment budget and prefer to drive a new vehicle.LB24 is limited to credit union indirect lending and embraced by dealer F&I managers.
