As more drivers buy out their vehicles and refinance loans, data-driven engagement becomes the new competitive edge.
Rapid changes in auto finance are creating unprecedented opportunities for marketers and lenders. With average new vehicle prices surpassing $50,000 and monthly payments nearing $750, many consumers are keeping their current vehicles longer, buying out leases, or refinancing to secure better terms.
For lenders and OEMs, this is more than a market shift — it’s a chance to act with precision, make data-driven decisions, and reach the right customers quickly. By understanding consumer behavior and taking proactive steps, marketers can capture high-value opportunities, strengthen relationships, and drive long-term growth.
Consumers Are Driving Change
Rising vehicle costs and higher monthly payments have shifted buying patterns. Many drivers — especially those 45 and older — are choosing to buy out their leases, often with significant positive equity. Others are refinancing to take advantage of lower rates following recent Fed cuts. Meanwhile, electric vehicle leasing is accelerating, creating a growing segment of high-value opportunities.
This combination of factors creates a window for marketers and lenders to connect with the right audience at exactly the right time. Those who act quickly can convert consideration into acquisition, retention, and long-term loyalty.
End-of-lease and refinance-ready customers represent the most qualified leads in the market. IWCO helps you reach them first with precision and personalization.
