From the Customers administration menu, selecting "View Customer PDA Data" will load the following screen, allowing dealerships to view a customers saved vehicles.

The PDA code for this customer is the same one that was assigned when the customer was created. For demonstration purposes, we saved the data on all four vehicles, just to compare how different incentives can influence the bottom line deal.

Once we enter the PDA ID # and click "Get Info", a summary screen loads all the relevant data that was used to estimate payment ranges for Bob Jones. In reality, of course, only one vehicle would typically be saved. These examples also exaggerate a normal residual value, as well as the low APR financing probably available to an A credit customer. Still it shows how varying incentives can strongly influence which vehicle can be a customer's best buy in his own particular scenario.
The Low Monthly Payment represents the payment estimate before rounding up and ranging. Final figures are presented in writing at a closing desk, as is traditional, by either a member of the sales or sales management team. The customer has now come into your dealership, gone through a candid prequalification process, browsed the lot, picked out a car or truck in his budget, and he's sitting at a closing booth ready to complete the sale.
