While the number of auto loans past due two months or more has edged up for the first time in three years, the market overall is still healthy, Experian Automotive's Melinda Zabritski says.
Experian reported last week that auto loans delinquent 60 days or more -- those likely to be written off as bad loans -- accounted for 0.74 percent of the total in the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 2 basis points from 0.72 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011.
