Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business We were formed in California on March 8, 1991. We specialize in purchasing and servicing retail automobile installment sale contracts (“automobile contracts” or “finance receivables”) originated by licensed motor vehicle dealers located throughout the United States (“dealers”) in the sale of new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. Through our purchases, we provide indirect financing to dealer customers for borrowers with limited credit histories or past credit problems (“sub-prime customers”). We serve as an alternative source of financing for dealers, allowing sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing. In addition to purchasing installment purchase contracts directly from dealers, we have also (i) lent money directly to consumers for loans secured by vehicles, (ii) purchased immaterial amounts of vehicle purchase money loans from non-affiliated lenders, and (iii) acquired installment purchase contracts in four merger and acquisition transactions. In this report, we refer to all of such contracts and loans as "automobile contracts." Basis of Presentation Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. Finance Receivables Measured at Fair Value Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for finance receivables acquired on or after that date. For each finance receivable acquired after 2017, we consider the price paid on the purchase date as the fair value for such receivable. We estimate the cash to be received in the future with respect to such receivables, based on our experience with similar receivables acquired in the past. We then compute the internal rate of return that results in the present value of those estimated cash receipts being equal to the purchase date fair value. Thereafter, we recognize interest income on such receivables on a level yield basis using that internal rate of return as the applicable interest rate. Cash received with respect to such receivables is applied first against such interest income, and then to reduce the carrying value of the receivables. We re-evaluate the fair value of such receivables at the close of each measurement period. If the reevaluation were to yield a value materially different from the carrying value, an adjustment would be required. Anticipated credit losses are included in our estimation of cash to be received with respect to receivables. Because such credit losses are included in our computation of the appropriate level yield, we do not thereafter make periodic provision for credit losses, as our best estimate of the lifetime aggregate of credit losses is included in that initial computation. Also because we include anticipated credit losses in our computation of the level yield, the computed level yield is materially lower than the average contractual rate applicable to the receivables. Because our initial carrying value is fixed as the price we pay for the receivable, rather than as the contractual principal balance, we do not record acquisition fees as an amortizing asset related to the receivables, nor do we capitalize costs of acquiring the receivables. Rather we recognize the costs of acquisition as expenses in the period incurred. Other Income The following table presents the primary components of Other Income for the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 (In thousands) (In thousands) Direct mail revenues $ 1,328 $ 1,628 $ 4,833 $ 5,261 Convenience fee revenue 360 430 1,200 1,510 Recoveries on previously charged-off contracts. 44 140 198 464 Sales tax refunds 220 224 658 636 Other 62 52 133 213 Other income for the period $ 2,014 $ 2,474 $ 7,022 $ 8,084 On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income which is outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within Other Income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include revenue associated with direct mail and other related products and services that we offer to our dealers. Warrants In connection with the amendment to and partial repayment of our residual interest financing in July 2008, we issued warrants exercisable for 2,500,000 common shares, and allocated $4,071,429 of the aggregate consideration received in that transaction to the issuance of the warrants. The warrants represented the right to purchase CPS common shares at a nominal exercise price. In March 2010 we repurchased the warrants for 500,000 of these shares for $1.0 million. Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2017. All of such warrants were exercised on July 10, 2018 and 1,999,995 net shares were issued to the holder, following surrender of five shares in payment of the exercise price. Stock-based Compensation We recognize compensation costs in the financial statements for all share-based payments based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded stock-based compensation costs in the amount of $663,000 and $2.8 million, respectively. These stock-based compensation costs were $1.7 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, unrecognized stock-based compensation costs to be recognized over future periods equaled $4.3 million. This amount will be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The following represents stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018: Number of Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Options outstanding at the beginning of period 13,135 $ 4.66 N/A Granted 1,700 3.49 N/A Exercised (315 ) 1.53 N/A Forfeited (119 ) 7.20 N/A Options outstanding at the end of period 14,401 $ 4.57 4.05 years Options exercisable at the end of period 10,417 $ 4.79 3.60 years At September 30, 2018, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable was $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. There were 315,500 options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 618,773 for the comparable period in 2017. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $869,000 and $1.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. There were 2,893,000 shares available for future stock option grants under existing plans as of September 30, 2018.

Reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity. Financial Covenants Certain of our securitization transactions, our warehouse credit facilities and our residual interest financing contain various financial covenants requiring minimum financial ratios and results. Such covenants include maintaining minimum levels of liquidity and net worth and not exceeding maximum leverage levels. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants. In addition, certain of our debt agreements other than our term securitizations contain cross-default provisions. Such cross-default provisions would allow the respective creditors to declare a default if an event of default occurred with respect to other indebtedness of ours, but only if such other event of default were to be accompanied by acceleration of such other indebtedness. Provision for Contingent Liabilities We are routinely involved in various legal proceedings resulting from our consumer finance activities and practices, both continuing and discontinued. Our legal counsel has advised us on such matters where, based on information available at the time of this report, there is an indication that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably determined. We record at each measurement date, most recently as of September 30, 2018, our best estimate of probable incurred losses for legal contingencies. The amount of losses that may ultimately be incurred cannot be estimated with certainty. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-20. |

Finance Receivables | |
Finance Receivables | (2) Finance Receivables Our portfolio of finance receivables consists of small-balance homogeneous contracts comprising a single segment and class that is collectively evaluated for impairment on a portfolio basis according to delinquency status. Our contract purchase guidelines are designed to produce a homogenous portfolio. For key terms such as interest rate, length of contract, monthly payment and amount financed, there is relatively little variation from the average for the portfolio. We report delinquency on a contractual basis. Once a contract becomes greater than 90 days delinquent, we do not recognize additional interest income until the obligor under the contract makes sufficient payments to be less than 90 days delinquent. Any payments received on a contract that is greater than 90 days delinquent are first applied to accrued interest and then to principal reduction. In January 2018 the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for finance receivables acquired after 2017. Finance receivables measured at fair value are recorded separately on the Company’s Balance Sheet and are excluded from all tables in this footnote. The following table presents the components of Finance Receivables, net of unearned interest: September 30, December 31, 2018 2017 (In thousands) Finance receivables Automobile finance receivables, net of unearned interest $ 1,693,584 $ 2,298,608 Unearned acquisition fees and originations costs. 4,257 6,376 Finance receivables $ 1,697,841 $ 2,304,984 We consider an automobile contract delinquent when an obligor fails to make at least 90% of a contractually due payment by the following due date, which date may have been extended within limits specified in the servicing agreements. The period of delinquency is based on the number of days payments are contractually past due, as extended where applicable. Automobile contracts less than 31 days delinquent are not included. In certain circumstances we will grant obligors one-month payment extensions to assist them with temporary cash flow problems. The only modification of terms is to advance the obligor’s next due date by one month and extend the maturity date of the receivable by one month. In certain limited cases, a two-month extension may be granted. There are no other concessions such as a reduction in interest rate, forgiveness of principal or of accrued interest. Accordingly, we consider such extensions to be insignificant delays in payments rather than troubled debt restructurings. The following table summarizes the delinquency status of finance receivables as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017: September 30, December 31, 2018 2017 (In thousands) Delinquency Status Current $ 1,475,029 $ 2,069,617 31 - 60 days 132,030 138,395 61 - 90 days. 58,667 63,081 91 + days 27,858 27,515 $ 1,693,584 $ 2,298,608 Finance receivables totaling $27.9 million and $27.5 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, including all receivables greater than 90 days delinquent, have been placed on non-accrual status as a result of their delinquency status. We use a loss allowance methodology commonly referred to as "static pooling," which stratifies our finance receivable portfolio into separately identified pools based on the period of origination. Using analytical and formula driven techniques, we estimate an allowance for finance credit losses, which we believe is adequate for probable incurred credit losses that can be reasonably estimated in our portfolio of automobile contracts. The estimate for probable incurred credit losses is reduced by our estimate for future recoveries on previously incurred losses. Provision for credit losses is charged to our consolidated statement of operations. Net losses incurred on finance receivables are charged to the allowance. We establish the allowance for new receivables over the 12-month period following their acquisition. The following table presents a summary of the activity for the allowance for finance credit losses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 (In thousands) (In thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 94,376 $ 107,315 $ 109,187 $ 95,578 Provision for credit losses on finance receivables 31,959 47,336 107,997 143,053 Charge-offs (54,033 ) (53,628 ) (163,628 ) (152,401 ) Recoveries 10,170 7,596 28,916 22,389 Balance at end of period $ 82,472 $ 108,619 $ 82,472 $ 108,619 Excluded from finance receivables are contracts that were previously classified as finance receivables but were reclassified as other assets because we have repossessed the vehicle securing the Contract. The following table presents a summary of such repossessed inventory together with the allowance for losses in repossessed inventory that is not included in the allowance for finance credit losses: September 30, December 31, 2018 2017 (In thousands) Gross balance of repossessions in inventory $ 32,323 $ 33,679 Allowance for losses on repossessed inventory (23,292 ) (24,024 ) Net repossessed inventory included in other assets $ 9,031 $ 9,655 |

The debt issued in these transactions is shown on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Securitization trust debt,” and the components of such debt are summarized in the following table: Weighted Average Final Receivables Outstanding Outstanding Contractual Scheduled Pledged at Principal at Principal at Interest Rate at Payment September 30, Initial September 30, December 31, September 30, Series Date (1) 2018 (2) Principal 2018 2017 2018 (Dollars in thousands) CPS 2013-B September 2020 – 205,000 – 18,407 – CPS 2013-C December 2020 – 205,000 – 25,559 – CPS 2013-D March 2021 – 183,000 – 24,917 – CPS 2014-A June 2021 20,652 180,000 18,447 30,521 5.01% CPS 2014-B September 2021 30,370 202,500 28,542 44,516 4.23% CPS 2014-C December 2021 49,690 273,000 47,685 71,174 4.41% CPS 2014-D March 2022 55,838 267,500 53,711 79,099 4.74% CPS 2015-A June 2022 62,557 245,000 60,077 87,194 4.27% CPS 2015-B September 2022 74,678 250,000 73,012 102,873 4.26% CPS 2015-C December 2022 103,397 300,000 102,156 141,362 4.73% CPS 2016-A March 2023 135,737 329,460 133,612 180,761 4.99% CPS 2016-B June 2023 153,931 332,690 149,522 201,199 5.19% CPS 2016-C September 2023 154,934 318,500 151,409 203,504 4.85% CPS 2016-D April 2024 117,334 206,325 114,540 149,671 3.64% CPS 2017-A April 2024 127,389 206,320 124,560 161,892 3.79% CPS 2017-B December 2023 153,829 225,170 140,756 186,594 3.27% CPS 2017-C September 2024 156,928 224,825 146,720 197,155 3.19% CPS 2017-D June 2024 155,682 196,300 146,842 189,277 3.00% CPS 2018-A March 2025 164,281 190,000 154,758 – 3.05% CPS 2018-B December 2024 188,338 201,823 180,508 – 3.52% CPS 2018-C September 2025 229,241 230,275 219,216 – 3.60% $ 2,134,806 $ 4,972,688 $ 2,046,073 $ 2,095,675 _________ (1) The Final Scheduled Payment Date represents final legal maturity of the securitization trust debt. Securitization trust debt is expected to become due and to be paid prior to those dates, based on amortization of the finance receivables pledged to the trusts. Expected payments, which will depend on the performance of such receivables, as to which there can be no assurance, are $233.8 million in 2018, $853.1 million in 2019, $527.2 million in 2020, $272.2 million in 2021, $112.5 million in 2022, $35.5 million in 2023. (2) Includes repossessed assets that are included in Other assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Debt issuance costs of $11.8 million and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, have been excluded from the table above. These debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of the securitization trust debt on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All of the securitization trust debt was sold in private placement transactions to qualified institutional buyers. The debt was issued through our wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiaries and is secured by the assets of such subsidiaries, but not by our other assets. The terms of the securitization agreements related to the issuance of the securitization trust debt and the warehouse credit facilities require that we meet certain delinquency and credit loss criteria with respect to the pool of receivables, and certain of the agreements require that we maintain minimum levels of liquidity and not exceed maximum leverage levels. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants. We are responsible for the administration and collection of the automobile contracts. The securitization agreements also require certain funds be held in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for the borrowings, to be applied to make payments on the securitization trust debt or as pre-funding proceeds from a term securitization prior to the purchase of additional collateral. As of September 30, 2018, restricted cash under the various agreements totaled approximately $110.5 million. Interest expense on the securitization trust debt consists of the stated rate of interest plus amortization of additional costs of borrowing. Additional costs of borrowing include facility fees, amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts on notes sold. Deferred financing costs and discounts on notes sold related to the securitization trust debt are amortized using a level yield method. Accordingly, the effective cost of the securitization trust debt is greater than the contractual rate of interest disclosed above. Our wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiaries were formed to facilitate the above asset-backed financing transactions. Similar bankruptcy remote subsidiaries issue the debt outstanding under our credit facilities. Bankruptcy remote refers to a legal structure in which it is expected that the applicable entity would not be included in any bankruptcy filing by its parent or affiliates. All of the assets of these subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral for the related debt. All such transactions, treated as secured financings for accounting and tax purposes, are treated as sales for all other purposes, including legal and bankruptcy purposes. None of the assets of these subsidiaries are available to pay other creditors. On October 17, 2018 we completed our fourth securitization transaction of 2018. In the transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $233.7 million of asset-backed notes secured by $245 million in automobile receivables purchased by us. The sold notes, issued by CPS Auto Receivables Trust 2018-D, consist of five classes. Ratings of the notes were provided by Standard & Poor’s and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, and were based on the structure of the transaction, the historical performance of similar receivables and CPS’s experience as a servicer. The weighted average yield on the notes is approximately 4.25%. |

There was $38.2 million outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2018. The revolving period for this facility was extended to September 2020 followed by an amortization period through September 2021 for any receivables pledged at the end of the revolving period. On May 16, 2018, we completed a $40 million securitization of residual interests from previously issued securitizations. In this residual interest financing transaction, qualified institutional buyers purchased $40.0 million of asset-backed notes secured by residual interests in thirteen CPS securitizations consecutively conducted from September 2013 through December 2016, and an 80% interest in a CPS affiliate that owns the residual interests in the four CPS securitizations conducted in 2017. The sold notes (“2018-1 Notes”), issued by CPS Auto Securitization Trust 2018-1, consist of a single class with a coupon of 8.595%. The agreed valuation of the collateral for the 2018-1 Notes is the sum of the amounts on deposit in the underlying spread accounts for each related securitization and the over-collateralization of each related securitization, which is the difference between the outstanding principal balances of the related receivables less the principal balance of the outstanding notes issued in the related securitization. With respect to the securitizations conducted by CPS in 2017, only 80% of such amounts are included in the collateral. On each monthly payment date, the 2018-1 Notes are entitled to interest at the coupon rate and, if necessary, a principal payment necessary to maintain a specified minimum collateral ratio. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $987,000 have been excluded from the amount reported above for residual interest financing. Similarly, unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.6 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, have been excluded from the Warehouse lines of credit amounts in the table above. These debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction to the carrying amount of the debt on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. |

Income Taxes | (7) Income Taxes We file numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns with the United States and with many states. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. We do not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change due to any settlements of audits or expirations of statutes of limitations over the next 12 months. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return and combined or stand-alone state franchise tax returns for certain states. We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are recognized subject to management’s judgment that realization is more likely than not. A valuation allowance is recognized for a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Although realization is not assured, we believe that the realization of the recognized net deferred tax asset of $28.7 million as of September 30, 2018 is more likely than not based on forecasted future net earnings. Our net deferred tax asset of $28.7 million consists of approximately $19.9 million of net U.S. federal deferred tax assets and $8.8 million of net state deferred tax assets. Income tax expense was $1.5 million and $4.4 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and represents an effective income tax rate of 32%, compared to income tax expense of $3.4 million and $10.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and represents an effective income tax rate of and 43%. |

Legal Proceedings | (8) Legal Proceedings Consumer Litigation. For the most part, we have legal and factual defenses to consumer claims, which we routinely contest or settle (for immaterial amounts) depending on the particular circumstances of each case. Department of Justice Industry Inquiry. Although the inquiry commenced January 2015 is thus completed as to us, no assurance can be given as to whether some other government agency may commence inquiries into or actions against us, nor as to whether the DOJ may recommence its investigation, any of which hypothetical proceedings might materially and adversely affect us. In General Accordingly, we believe that the ultimate resolution of such legal proceedings and contingencies should not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition. We note, however, that in light of the uncertainties inherent in contested proceedings, the wide discretion vested in the DOJ and other government agencies, and the deference that courts may give to assertions made by government litigants, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not be material to our operating results for a particular period, depending on, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of our income for that period. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | (10) Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements" clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as follows: level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Effective January 2018 we have elected to use the fair value method to value our portfolio of finance receivables acquired in January 2018 and thereafter. Our valuation policies and procedures have been developed by our Accounting department in conjunction with our Risk department and with consultation with outside valuation experts. Our policies and procedures have been approved by our Chief Executive and our Board of Directors and include methodologies for valuation, internal reporting, calibration and back testing. Our periodic review of valuations includes an analysis of changes in fair value measurements and documentation of the reasons for such changes. There is little available third-party information such as broker quotes or pricing services available to assist us in our valuation process. Our level 3, unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about the factors that market participants use in pricing similar receivables and are based on the best information available in the circumstances. They include such inputs as estimates for the magnitude and timing of net charge-offs and the rate of amortization of the portfolio of finance receivable. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would have a significant impact on our fair value measurement. The table below presents a reconciliation of the finance receivables measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 (In thousands) (In thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 412,895 $ – $ – $ – Finance receivables at fair value acquired during period 229,030 – 659,641 – Payments received on finance receivables at fair value (18,851 ) – (31,824 ) – Net interest income accretion on fair value receivables (8,267 ) – (13,010 ) – Mark to fair value – – – – Balance at end of period $ 614,807 $ – $ 614,807 $ – The table below compares the fair values of these finance receivables to their contractual balances for the periods shown: September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Contractual Fair Contractual Fair Balance Value Balance Value (In thousands) Finance receivables measured at fair value $ 614,578 $ 614,807 $ – $ – The following table provides certain qualitative information about our level 3 fair value measurements: Financial Instrument Fair Values as of Inputs as of September 30, December 31, S eptember 30, December 31, 2018 2017 Unobservable Inputs 2018 2017 Assets: Finance receivables measured at fair value $ 614,807 $ – Discount rate 8.9% - 10.7% n/a Cumulative net losses 15% - 16% n/a The following table summarizes the delinquency status of these finance receivables measured at fair value as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017: September 30, December 31, 2018 2017 (In thousands) Delinquency Status Current $ 595,920 $ – 31 - 60 days 12,812 – 61 - 90 days 3,975 – 91 + days 1,871 – $ 614,578 $ – Repossessed vehicle inventory, which is included in Other assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet, is measured at fair value using level 2 assumptions based on our actual loss experience on sale of repossessed vehicles. At September 30, 2018 the finance receivables related to the repossessed vehicles in inventory totaled $32.3 million. We have applied a valuation adjustment, or loss allowance, of $23.3 million, which is based on a recovery rate of approximately 28%, resulting in an estimated fair value and carrying amount of $9.0 million. The fair value and carrying amount of the repossessed inventory at December 31, 2017 was $9.7 million after applying a valuation adjustment of $24.0 million. There were no transfers in or out of level 1 or level 2 assets and liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. We have no material level 3 assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The estimated fair values of financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows: As of September 30, 2018 Financial Instrument (In thousands) Carrying Fair Value Measurements Using: Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 10,537 $ 10,537 $ – $ – $ 10,537 Restricted cash and equivalents 110,473 110,473 – – 110,473 Finance receivables, net 1,615,369 – – 1,620,076 1,620,076 Finance receivables measured at fair value 614,807 – – 614,807 614,807 Accrued interest receivable 36,232 – – 36,232 36,232 Liabilities: Warehouse lines of credit $ 127,695 $ – $ – $ 127,695 $ 127,695 Accrued interest payable 4,797 – – 4,797 4,797 Securitization trust debt 2,034,281 – – 2,033,598 2,033,598 Subordinated renewable notes 16,948 – – 16,948 16,948 As of December 31, 2017 Financial Instrument (In thousands) Carrying Fair Value Measurements Using: Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 12,731 $ 12,731 $ – $ – $ 12,731 Restricted cash and equivalents 111,965 111,965 – – 111,965 Finance receivables, net 2,195,797 – – 2,171,846 2,171,846 Accrued interest receivable 46,753 – – 46,753 46,753 Liabilities: Warehouse lines of credit $ 112,408 $ – $ – $ 112,408 $ 112,408 Accrued interest payable 4,212 – – 4,212 4,212 Securitization trust debt 2,083,215 – – 2,089,678 2,089,678 Subordinated renewable notes 16,566 – – 16,566 16,566 The following summary presents a description of the methodologies and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments. Much of the information used to determine fair value is highly subjective. When applicable, readily available market information has been utilized. However, for a significant portion of our financial instruments, active markets do not exist. Therefore, significant elements of judgment were required in estimating fair value for certain items. The subjective factors include, among other things, the estimated timing and amount of cash flows, risk characteristics, credit quality and interest rates, all of which are subject to change. Since the fair value is estimated as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Equivalents The carrying value equals fair value. Finance Receivables, net The fair value of finance receivables is estimated by discounting future cash flows expected to be collected using discount rates at which similar receivables could be sold. Finance Receivables Measured at Fair Value The carrying value equals fair value. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable The carrying value approximates fair value. Warehouse Lines of Credit and Subordinated Renewable Notes The carrying value approximates fair value because the related interest rates are estimated to reflect current market conditions for similar types of secured instruments. Securitization Trust Debt The fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates that we believe reflect the current market rates. |

Description of Business | Description of Business We were formed in California on March 8, 1991. We specialize in purchasing and servicing retail automobile installment sale contracts (“automobile contracts” or “finance receivables”) originated by licensed motor vehicle dealers located throughout the United States (“dealers”) in the sale of new and used automobiles, light trucks and passenger vans. Through our purchases, we provide indirect financing to dealer customers for borrowers with limited credit histories or past credit problems (“sub-prime customers”). We serve as an alternative source of financing for dealers, allowing sales to customers who otherwise might not be able to obtain financing. In addition to purchasing installment purchase contracts directly from dealers, we have also (i) lent money directly to consumers for loans secured by vehicles, (ii) purchased immaterial amounts of vehicle purchase money loans from non-affiliated lenders, and (iii) acquired installment purchase contracts in four merger and acquisition transactions. In this report, we refer to all of such contracts and loans as "automobile contracts." |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature. Results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported periods. |
Finance Receivables Measured at Fair Value | Finance Receivables Measured at Fair Value Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the fair value method of accounting for finance receivables acquired on or after that date. For each finance receivable acquired after 2017, we consider the price paid on the purchase date as the fair value for such receivable. We estimate the cash to be received in the future with respect to such receivables, based on our experience with similar receivables acquired in the past. We then compute the internal rate of return that results in the present value of those estimated cash receipts being equal to the purchase date fair value. Thereafter, we recognize interest income on such receivables on a level yield basis using that internal rate of return as the applicable interest rate. Cash received with respect to such receivables is applied first against such interest income, and then to reduce the carrying value of the receivables. We re-evaluate the fair value of such receivables at the close of each measurement period. If the reevaluation were to yield a value materially different from the carrying value, an adjustment would be required. Anticipated credit losses are included in our estimation of cash to be received with respect to receivables. Because such credit losses are included in our computation of the appropriate level yield, we do not thereafter make periodic provision for credit losses, as our best estimate of the lifetime aggregate of credit losses is included in that initial computation. Also because we include anticipated credit losses in our computation of the level yield, the computed level yield is materially lower than the average contractual rate applicable to the receivables. Because our initial carrying value is fixed as the price we pay for the receivable, rather than as the contractual principal balance, we do not record acquisition fees as an amortizing asset related to the receivables, nor do we capitalize costs of acquiring the receivables. Rather we recognize the costs of acquisition as expenses in the period incurred. |

The majority of the Company’s revenues come from interest income which is outside the scope of ASC 606. The Company’s services that fall within the scope of ASC 606 are presented within Other Income and are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies its obligation to the customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include revenue associated with direct mail and other related products and services that we offer to our dealers. |
Warrants | Warrants In connection with the amendment to and partial repayment of our residual interest financing in July 2008, we issued warrants exercisable for 2,500,000 common shares, and allocated $4,071,429 of the aggregate consideration received in that transaction to the issuance of the warrants. The warrants represented the right to purchase CPS common shares at a nominal exercise price. In March 2010 we repurchased the warrants for 500,000 of these shares for $1.0 million. Warrants to purchase 2,000,000 shares were outstanding as of December 31, 2017. All of such warrants were exercised on July 10, 2018 and 1,999,995 net shares were issued to the holder, following surrender of five shares in payment of the exercise price. |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation We recognize compensation costs in the financial statements for all share-based payments based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded stock-based compensation costs in the amount of $663,000 and $2.8 million, respectively. These stock-based compensation costs were $1.7 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2018, unrecognized stock-based compensation costs to be recognized over future periods equaled $4.3 million. This amount will be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The following represents stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018: Number of Shares (in thousands) Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Options outstanding at the beginning of period 13,135 $ 4.66 N/A Granted 1,700 3.49 N/A Exercised (315 ) 1.53 N/A Forfeited (119 ) 7.20 N/A Options outstanding at the end of period 14,401 $ 4.57 4.05 years Options exercisable at the end of period 10,417 $ 4.79 3.60 years At September 30, 2018, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable was $7.7 million and $7.2 million, respectively. There were 315,500 options exercised for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 618,773 for the comparable period in 2017. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $869,000 and $1.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. There were 2,893,000 shares available for future stock option grants under existing plans as of September 30, 2018. |

Reclassifications | Reclassifications Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity. |
Financial Covenants | Financial Covenants Certain of our securitization transactions, our warehouse credit facilities and our residual interest financing contain various financial covenants requiring minimum financial ratios and results. Such covenants include maintaining minimum levels of liquidity and net worth and not exceeding maximum leverage levels. As of September 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all such covenants. In addition, certain of our debt agreements other than our term securitizations contain cross-default provisions. Such cross-default provisions would allow the respective creditors to declare a default if an event of default occurred with respect to other indebtedness of ours, but only if such other event of default were to be accompanied by acceleration of such other indebtedness. |
Provision for Contingent Liabilities | Provision for Contingent Liabilities We are routinely involved in various legal proceedings resulting from our consumer finance activities and practices, both continuing and discontinued. Our legal counsel has advised us on such matters where, based on information available at the time of this report, there is an indication that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably determined. We record at each measurement date, most recently as of September 30, 2018, our best estimate of probable incurred losses for legal contingencies. The amount of losses that may ultimately be incurred cannot be estimated with certainty. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards | Adoption of New Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which modifies lease accounting for lessees to increase transparency and comparability by recording lease assets and liabilities for operating leases and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-20. |
