Due to a contracting economy, many lenders have excess inventories on their books that they need to put them back on the street. These in-house inventories are non income producing, therefore this puts pressure on the lender to make a deal with the consumer. These deals can be found in the price, the financing or a combination of both. An off lease commercial vehicle and/or construction equipment has been returned to the lender as the lease has expired. The lessee has made a decision to return the item in lieu of exercising the buyout option. A repo has arisen due to a default of the lessee for non payment terms or a violation of the terms of the lease. Either way, the lender has taken these trucks and/or equipment back and now must recondition the items and either sell these items or re-lease them. The lender will either advertise their inventory through their internal sales force or outside professionals such as brokers to move their inventories as quick as possible. Sometimes as these inventories either sit or whatever reason isn‘t moving, the lender may put these items up for auction.
