FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AutoNation, Inc. $(AN)$ today announced that, through its captive finance company, it completed its inaugural asset-backed securitization, generating $700 million in funding for its automobile loan portfolio at a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 4.90%.
