Deal Making
Every new deal starts with various fields pre-populated automatically from
default values you specify. Popular examples include: warranty, County and
State tax rates, license, doc prep and many other items specific to your state
and county.
One-Pay, semi-monthly, monthly, bi-weekly, and weekly payments of either
Compound or Add-on interest options are available.
The Roll-back feature, which allows you to reverse calculations to arrive at
Cash Price, Interest Rate, Down Payment, Finance Charge, and Out-The-Door
price, is an invaluable tool to work with customers on "What if..." scenarios,
to help you close more deals.
Deals may have up to four deferred payments with automatic late charge posting
and late notice printing. Up to 2 Trade-ins may be added to the inventory as
soon as deals are sold, avoiding duplicate data entry.
Quick Deal provides a fast and easy method of showing and printing cash and
