Vehicle Funding with LTO® Financial
As part of Northland, LTO® Financial adheres to the same motto and set of ethics that has earned your trust and loyalty as a Lease’T’Own® dealer “Helping Dealers Succeed”. LTO® Financial provides the ability for you to use your Lease’T’Own® fleet in exchange for funds to buy additional vehicles. LTO® Financial provides the dealer with an excellent cash flow and the opportunity to continue growing a successful business.
Here’s how it works!
VEHICLE PURCHASING LTO®

Qualified vehicles will be:
- Contracted on a Lease’T’Own® Consumer Lease Agreement

DEALER AGENT
The dealer becomes a “Dealer-Agent” of LTO® Financial. In this role, the dealer will perform various duties on behalf of LTO® Financial. These duties include maintaining the day-to-day relationship with the lessee, collecting the lease payments, handling the recovery of vehicles if needed, vehicle maintenance, etc.

“I’ve been a customer of Northland for 12 years. I’d heard good things about them. A buddy of mine on the west bank had been doing business with them in the rental and lease to own business and there aren’t many companies who are so deep and specialized in those lines. They completely blew away all the other companies doing this. They don’t have contracts, but I’ve been with them ever since. “

“I’d say everyone I’ve come in contact with from Northland Auto Solutions are very friendly and helpful. And they’re really good guys. For complicated questions I don’t expect an immediate answer, like if you have a legal question, someone will get back to you within 24 hours. They are extremely knowledgeable about state laws. And more than able to give solid business advice.”

“Northland Auto, I think overall they are fun to do business with. You can make a call, laugh and joke with someone. It’s very human interaction it’s not just you being a number. You can partner up with them very well.”
CC Owner A&C Automotive
“Extremely satisfied with all the offerings at Northland Auto Solutions, extremely. I’m a small size dealer I’ve got maybe 18 units out there on the plan, I usually have an inventory of about 20. I’m just a small guy. I’m very pleased with what they offer.”

“I initially started our LTO program as a way to supplement our income. My intention was to create between $800-$1,000 of additional income monthly. Within six months we were doing well over $5,000 per month in payments. We’ve since, more than quadrupled those numbers.”
