Auto-finance risk is tightening from both directions.

Canada lost 68,000 jobs in September, including 20,000 in British Columbia (-0.7%). At the same time, the U.S. Manheim wholesale vehicle index fell 1.1% month over month and 0.6% year over year. Cox cut its expected 2026 year-end appreciation from 2% to 0.2%; large pickups and SUVs weakened, while older affordable vehicles depreciated less.

Expect defaults to spike again. Lenders cannot assume stable borrower income and rising collateral values will offset each other. Recent employment shocks can precede bureau deterioration, while retail asking prices may overstate auction recoveries.
