Vehicle floorplan payable-trade reflects amounts borrowed to finance the purchase of specific new vehicle inventories with the corresponding manufacturers’ captive finance subsidiaries (“trade lenders”). Vehicle floorplan payable-non-trade represents amounts borrowed to finance the purchase of specific new and, to a lesser extent, used vehicle inventories with non-trade lenders, as well as amounts borrowed under our secured used floorplan facilities, which are primarily collateralized by used vehicle inventories and related receivables. Changes in vehicle floorplan payable-trade are reported as operating cash flows and changes in vehicle floorplan payable-non-trade are reported as financing cash flows in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Our inventory costs are generally reduced by manufacturer holdbacks, incentives, and floorplan assistance, while the related vehicle floorplan payables are reflective of the gross cost of the vehicle. The vehicle floorplan payables, as shown in the above table, will generally also be higher than the inventory cost due to the timing of the sale of a vehicle and payment of the related liability.

Vehicle floorplan facilities are due on demand, but in the case of new vehicle inventories, are generally paid within several business days after the related vehicles are sold. Our manufacturer agreements generally allow the manufacturer to draft against new vehicle floorplan facilities so the lender directly funds the manufacturer for the purchase of new vehicle inventory. Vehicle floorplan facilities are primarily collateralized by vehicle inventories and related receivables.

Our used vehicle floorplan facilities utilize LIBOR-based interest rates, which averaged 1.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 1.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2015, the aggregate capacity under our used vehicle floorplan facilities with various lenders to finance a portion of our used vehicle inventory was $335.0 million, of which $148.3 million had been borrowed. The remaining borrowing capacity of $186.7 million was limited to $160.2 million based on the eligible used vehicle inventory that could have been pledged as collateral.

Our new vehicle floorplan facilities utilize LIBOR-based interest rates, which averaged 1.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 1.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2015, the aggregate capacity under our new vehicle floorplan facilities to finance our new vehicle inventory was approximately $4.1 billion, of which $3.1 billion had been borrowed.
