Overview of Findings As the sub-prime financing market continues to be increasingly challenged, the relationship between dealers and finance providers has become even more important. The ability to reach the same credit buyer and the effectiveness of sales representative visits play a key role in maximizing dealer satisfaction with the financing experience. - Effectiveness of sales representative visits is the most important aspect contributing to overall satisfaction with the sales representative relationship. - Also, dealers who are able to work with the same credit buyer more than 75% of the time are significantly more satisfied with their provider s credit personnel. As the market has become increasingly complex, the expected role of the sales representative is also changing. - Not only do dealers expect sales representatives to visit more often (at least once a month), they also want them to take a more active role structuring and re-hashing the deal. For top-ranked provider BMW Financial Services (BMWFS), the relationship and servicing components of the sub-prime financing experience are the leading contributors to this finance provider s competitive advantage relative to other lenders. - BMWFS strongest scores are found in the Sales Representative Relationship factor where the finance provider has more than a 100 index point lead over the next nearest competitor, Ford Credit. - Similarly, BMWFS next strongest ratings are for Credit Personnel, another area where the finance providers have considerable touch points with dealers. - Despite general declines across all factors for most providers, BMWFS strong relationship with its dealers maintains their top-ranked position relative to other providers in the marketplace. 2009 J.D.

Top-Ranked Providers BMW Financial Services (BMWFS) maintains its top-ranked position in. Despite general declines across all factors for most providers, BMWFS strong relationship with its dealers helps hold the top-ranked position. - BMWFS highest scores are found in the Sales Representative Relationship factor where the finance provider has more than a 100 index point lead over the next nearest competitor, Ford Credit. - Similarly, BMWFS also performs strong in the Credit Personnel factor, another area where finance providers have considerable touch points with dealers. Wachovia Dealer Services satisfaction scores remain consistent year-over-year, placing second in the category. Credit Personnel continues to be Wachovia Dealer Service s greatest competitive strength in the Sub- Prime Retail Credit index. Also performing consistently strong in the Application/Approval Process factor, Wachovia Dealer Services ranks just behind BMW Financial Services and has an 18 index point lead compared to the next nearest competitor, Ford Credit. Ford Credit moves up two rank positions compared to 2008, ranking third in. Ford Credit s year-over-year improvement is driven by strong performance in the Sales Representative Relationship factor where the lender follows best-in-class provider BMWFS. Ford Credit ranks second to BMWFS in Termination Policy/Service satisfaction, and also enjoys a 61 index point lead compared to next-nearest competitor Wachovia Dealer Services. Dealer satisfaction with GMAC declines from last year, resulting in a below average rank position for the provider in 2009. A large decrease in application/approval process satisfaction contributes considerably to GMAC s overall year-over-year decline. - GMAC experiences a 201 index point decline in the Application/Approval Process factor compared to 2008, moving from a 2 nd rank position to a 6 th place in 2009 likely a result of their direct communication to dealers that customers need a credit score of 700+ to qualify. Satisfaction with the Sales Representative Relationship and Termination Policy/Service remain relative strengths for the provider. - GMAC maintains above average satisfaction levels resulting in 4 th place rank positions in both factors. 2009 J.D.

Index Model The Satisfaction Index identifies the key drivers of finance provider satisfaction, as well as their associated importance weights, which impact overall dealer satisfaction. Creation of the index included several stages of development which began with provider and industry expert discussions and lead to one-on-one dealer surveys later used for questionnaire development. Advanced statistical analysis was used to design the final index structure. The five factors that comprise the Satisfaction Index summarize the total satisfaction dealers have with their finance providers. Aggregating a provider s weighted score across all factors in the model derives a provider s index score. An above-average score does not necessarily mean that all dealer needs are being met. What it does mean is that, given the current marketplace, one provider is performing better (or worse) than another. A provider s factor score reflects the relative satisfaction of dealers across all finance providers and does not necessarily indicate that they are completely satisfied. 2009 Index Model Weights Provider Offering 31% 21% Credit Personnel Termination Policy/ Service 17% Sub-Prime Retail Satisfaction Index 16% Application/ Approval Process 15% Sales Representative Relationship Figure S3 2009 J.D.

Finance Provider Offering 2009 J.D. Power and Associates, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. S-8

Finance Provider Offering Attribute Weights Representing a relative importance weight of 31%, the Provider Offering factor has the greatest impact on dealer satisfaction in. As one might expect, Support of a full spread of risk carries the highest weight when evaluating overall satisfaction with Provider Offering. Given the recent instability of sub-prime lending, it is expected that mean satisfaction dropped considerably across all aspects of the Provider Offering factor.

Credit Personnel 2009 J.D. Power and Associates, The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All Rights Reserved. S-11

Credit Personnel Attribute Weights Accounting for over two-fifths of relative dealer satisfaction with credit personnel, Flexibility of credit staff to help structure the deal is predictably the most important aspect in determining overall satisfaction with credit personnel. Although Flexibility of credit staff to help structure the deal is the largest single driver of dealer satisfaction with credit personnel, it is consistently rated lowest by dealers compared to other attributes within the factor. Courtesy of credit staff also has a relatively large weight with respect to dealer satisfaction, addressing the considerable impact service-related aspects of the financing experience have on dealers overall perceptions of doing business with each respective lender.

Frequency of Working with the Same Credit Buyer Dealers are most satisfied when they are able to work with the same credit buyer more than 75% of the time. About half of all dealers indicate they are able to work with the same credit buyer more than 75% of the time. Dealers working with Credit Unions have a higher percentage of dealers that report a single point of contact with the credit buyer, which does not come as a huge surprise given the smaller scale of individual credit unions. According to dealers, they are able to work with the same credit buyer less often when financing though an Independent lender.

Termination Policy/Service Attribute Weights The Termination Policy/Service factors accounts for 17% of dealer satisfaction in the Index. Each attribute contributes to roughly one-third of total dealer satisfaction with the Termination Policy/Service factor. Dropping nearly 1 full mean point compared to last year, Ability to retain the consumer at end of loan term is the lowest rated attribute within the factor.

Title Release Process Generally, dealers are most satisfied with finance provider experience when it takes 9 days or less to receive the title. Dealers working with credit unions receive titles fastest: almost half say they receive the title within 5 days. Independent providers take the longest to release the title, with over two-thirds of dealers reporting it takes over 2 weeks to receive a title once pay-off has been received from these lenders.

Application/Approval Process Attribute Weights Satisfaction with the Application/Approval Process accounts for 16% of total dealer satisfaction with the Sub- Prime Retail Credit Index. Speed of cashing/funding the deal and Timeliness of approval are the most highly weighted aspects of the application/approval process, both having relative importance weights of 22%. Consistency of credit decisions and Fairness of stipulations required for credit approval follow closely, with each representing one-fifth of dealer satisfaction with the factor.

Length of Time from Application to Approval Compared to prime deals, the complexity of sub-prime deals often results in a longer application/approval process, contributing to comparatively lower levels of satisfaction with the overall process. Generally, dealers indicate it takes longer to get a sub-prime application approved compared to a prime deal, presumably a result of the complexity of the deal and additional stipulations required for approval. Dealers are most satisfied when a deal is approved in 30 minutes or less. - This is slightly longer than what dealers feel is acceptable when submitting prime deals for approval (20 minutes or less is optimal for Prime Retail Credit). Less than half of all sub-prime deals are approved within 30 minutes, revealing significant opportunity for improvement among the lender community. Deals sent to banks and credit unions take the longest to get approved.

Reasons Deals Returned with Conditions On average, 27% of all sub-prime deals are returned to the dealer with conditions. The most common reasons dealers report receiving a conditional deal are advance and stipulations on sub-prime applications. Credit score follows closely with 60% of dealers indicating this as a reason a deal might not initially be fully approved. Over half of dealers also cite terms and down payment as reasons the lender might return the deal with conditions.

Length of Time to Fund Dealers who report receiving complete and accurate funding packages within 48 hours are substantially more satisfied than those who wait longer. The amount of time to fund dealers will tolerate before satisfaction is impacted is longer for sub-prime compared with prime deals (48 hours vs. 24 hours, respectively). Captive providers fund sub-prime deals fastest, with over two-thirds of all deals approved within 2 days of approval. It takes considerably longer to get deals funded when financing through an independent provider.

Sales Representative Relationship Attribute Weights The Sales Representative Relationship represents nearly one-sixth of total dealer satisfaction with their finance provider in.

Frequency of Sales Representative Dealership Visits Dealers that receive monthly visits from their sales representative are substantially more satisfied than those that receive visits less frequently.

Method of Update on Provider Program Changes Consistent with 2008 results, the most common method for updating dealers on provider program changes is by fax. This is the dominant communication mechanism used by Banks, Independents, and Credit Unions. Captive providers are more likely to communicate program changes to dealers using the Web or email, and use fax and on-site visits as additional channels of communication.

Most Preferred Method of Update on Provider Program Changes Dealers continue to report email as the most preferred method of update on provider program changes. Captives are considerably more likely to provide updates via e-mail compared to non-captive providers. Web and fax rated similarly as preferred means of receiving updates. While costs associated with faxing are relatively inexpensive given dealers prefer paperless communication this presents another opportunity for lenders to reduce costs.
