Mongoose Capital Joins Finance Express Auto Finance Program

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., Sept. 14 -- Finance Express, which operates the first online auto finance platform specifically designed for the independent dealer, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Mongoose Capital, Inc., a Buy Here, Pay Here secured lender based in San Francisco. Mongoose Capital, Inc. will finance independent car dealers across the nation through Finance Express' online auto finance program.

Mongoose Capital offers a unique finance product to Finance Express' dealer base. "We don't mandate that dealers pay off the balance of the loan on a fixed schedule," says Nicholas Levenstein, President of Mongoose Capital. "This allows dealers to reinvest capital into their dealerships as needed, and achieve superior returns." Levenstein adds, "If dealers finance with us, they always have the option of selling their notes on a non-recourse basis, and paying off the loan. That said, dealers are frequently able to make more money financing with Mongoose than they would by selling their notes on a non- recourse basis."
