“The AFG Pre-Owned Vehicle Hot Sheet offers me a reference on what vehicles to acquire to sell on the balloon loan program. On a daily basis, I rely on AFG’s Dealer Inventory Download (DID) tool as a go-to reference. I can guide the sales team on which vehicles we have in-stock which work well on the balloon loan program and can generate vehicle calculator quotes in seconds. Best of all, AFG provides this tool at no costs.”

“We would love to average $25,000 price of a car. Now they are closer to $35,000 to $40,000. And the customer has great credit, intermediate credit or marginal credit, all ask for the same thing. They want a great payment. So the AFG program gives us a viable opportunity to sell more expensive cars at a payment just like a less expensive car and be able to retain that customer.”

“I have a great story for you… Saturday afternoon, I had a deal blowing out of finance over monthly payment. We couldn’t get to his payment even at the longest term possible. Wanted to be under $500/month and it just wouldn’t work. The customer was leaving the dealership when I got wind of it. I immediately went to the customer and asked him to come sit down with me for a few minutes in the office. After explaining the payment saver program to him, he called his wife. He even used the word ‘balloon’ when talking to her even though I didn’t. Long story short, I was able to turn a $200 flat that he was ready to walk away from to a $2500 backend and a happy customer! I LOVE this program and I will make sure it is a staple at our dealership! I’ve made 5 more deals out of nowhere using it and all profitable.”
Thanks again so much!

“We have been using the AFG program in our stores for over 6 years and have great success. I would highly recommend the company and their product to anyone. Their program is a great way to be able to put your customer into the vehicle they want and a payment they can afford. The staff at AFG is always professional and friendly to deal with and get you answers to your questions/issues immediately. And my rep John Chandler is always there no matter if it is daytime, evening or even on the weekend to get me an answer.”

“Thank you for bringing the AFG program to our stores. This has enabled us to have options for our customers to own a higher priced vehicle that they did not think would fit into their monthly budgets. This program has increased the front and back end profits on our Preowned vehicles and the new vehicles that do not have a great leasing option.”

“We’ve been using AFG for over a decade. We’ve delivered literally thousands of new and used vehicle customers through your program during that time, and you’ve always been there for us. It allows customers to take advantage of the lower payment options usually associated with leasing, while still maintaining ownership of their vehicle. The staff is always great to work with, we really can’t say enough good things about your program and your people. Thanks, AFG!”
