FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Non-prime lender Southern Auto
Finance Co., expanded its market footprint into four more states this week.

SAFCo now partners with nearly 3,000 dealerships in 14
states, now including Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

Back in March, the company broadened its reach by adding Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan and Ohio

Known as "The CreditBuilders," SAFCo's primary focus is to
help credit-challenged consumers establish better credit so they may obtain
traditional financing on future purchases.

SAFCo president Brian Switalski stated, "The addition of
seven new states this year, with plans to open two more by year-end, further
establishes us as a national competitor, as we target key markets for growth in
our dealer network and customer base."

Switalski reiterated SAFCo specializes in hard-to-finance
transactions, allowing its dealer partners to serve the broadest possible
universe of automotive purchasers. By helping to build or rebuild credit
through development of good payment habits and consistent reporting of loan
repayment to credit bureaus, Switalski maintains that SAFCo's lending programs
benefit the consumer as well.

SAFCo's indirect lending services can be accessed through
the Dealer Track and RouteOne credit application platforms.
