Frank, most auto lenders track the information you pointed out in a great detail, but it gets loose at the dealer end. Additional, lenders industrywide cap the rate participation, which means even if there is some wheeling and dealing by dealers — and it would be by dealers — it is only within a 200 to 250 basis point band. I don’t think price fixing is the answer, not just on principle, but in practice.
