REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — With auto lending increasing to
subprime customers, the latest RDN Monthly Analytics Update showed October
recovery volumes increased 7 percentage points from September levels, marking
the second consecutive month-over-month jump.

Furthermore, the October reading came in 5 points above
year-ago levels.

RDN indicated October recovery orders ticked 1 percentage

The RDN Recovery Market Trend Summary — a rolling comparison

recovered vehicles relative to the volume of vehicle sales financed — showed
the volume of recoveries relative to retail new- and used-vehicles financed

Recovery volumes as a percentage of sales financed ended at
a 37 index level in October, which represents an 8 percentage point increase

RDN went on to mention that among the top 20 largest cities
with the highest recovery volumes, Chicago experienced the highest actual
volume increase during October, while San Jose, Calif., experienced the highest
relative volume increase.

Finally, officials pointed out Texas led the nation with the
highest volume of involuntary recoveries at 12 percent of the nation's total

California constituted 30 percent of all recoveries nationwide for the month.

The Sunshine State also paced the country with the highest
