America's Car-Mart (formerly Crown Group) aims to become king of sub-prime used-car sales. The company owns 95% of America's Car-Mart and 70% of Smart Choice Automotive Group, both of which target consumers with poor or limited credit histories. Car-Mart has about 35 dealerships in smaller urban markets in Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Smart Choice, including subsidiary Paaco, operates more than 20 used-car dealerships in Texas and Florida. The company is selling its 80% stake in sub-prime mortgage lender Concorde Acceptance. It sold its 50% stake in Precision IBC, which sells and rents bulk containers. The company changed its name in 2002 to show its focus on its automotive sales.
