Chrysler Financial Predicts Income Dip: Chrysler Financial Corp. said revisions to its $6.8-billion credit agreement will contribute to a drop in future earnings. The Southfield, Mich., financing unit of Chrysler Corp. had already forecast an earnings decrease because it is having to sell income-generating assets to pay debts and finance the sale of vehicles to dealers and retail customers. Chrysler Financial said it believes that the higher interest rates it must pay under the the new credit agreement will exacerbate the income decrease. It declined to estimate the size of the expected earnings decline.
