American Car Center, a subprime auto lender, recently closed its doors just one day after pulling a $222 million bond sale from the market. The closure is indicative of the broader struggles within the subprime auto loan sector, which has been facing mounting pressure in recent years as more Americans fall behind on car payments. This has led to a rise in delinquencies and defaults, as well as increased regulatory scrutiny. The closure of American Car Center serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with investing in subprime auto loans and the potential impact on the broader economy.
