| katybo | what is the difference with CL? bargain option? |
| Done | And they don't manufacture the trucks they lease |
| Nightsurfer | Good comment Done. |
| thekobe | Direct Financing with an intermediary |
| johntan1979 | The keywords as to why direct financing, not sales type lease is "American Insurance Company" = financial institution |
| johntan1979 | And like what Done said, they don't manufacture the trucks. Read the notes: Main difference between direct financing and sales type is the absence/presence of manufacturer's or dealer's profit |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
