Inventory Financing Agreements [Abstract] |
Inventory Financing Agreements | Inventory Financing Agreements The Company has entered into agreements with certain financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from various suppliers under certain terms and conditions, as described below. These amounts are classified separately as accounts payable-inventory financing on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not incur any interest expense associated with these agreements as balances are paid when they are due. The following table presents the amounts included in accounts payable-inventory financing:
(in millions) |  | September 30, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
Revolving Loan inventory financing agreement |  | $ | 298.8 |  |  | $ | 256.1 |
Other inventory financing agreements |  | 0.9 |  |  | 0.5 |
Accounts payable-inventory financing |  | $ | 299.7 |  |  | $ | 256.6 |
As described in Note 4, in June 2014, the Company entered into a new senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility, which incorporates the previous inventory floorplan sub-facility and, among other changes, removes the $400.0 million limit on the size of the floorplan sub-facility. In connection with the floorplan sub-facility, the Company maintains an inventory financing agreement on an unsecured basis with a financial intermediary to facilitate the purchase of inventory from a certain vendor (the “Revolving Loan inventory financing agreement”). Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loan inventory financing agreement are unsecured and non-interest bearing. The Company also maintains other inventory financing agreements with financial intermediaries to facilitate the purchase of inventory from certain vendors. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, amounts owed under other inventory financing agreements of $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were collateralized by the inventory purchased under these financing agreements and a second lien on the related accounts receivable.
