AutoUSA Offers Shop-By-Payment Tool
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. — Dealer Web sites outfitted with AutoUSA Internet Sales Solutions’ Shop-By-Payment allow consumers to search inventory based on their desired monthly payment.
The new tools takes the shopping experience a step further by prompting consumers to enter their name and a few details. It then searches the available inventory based on the shopper’s actual credit and the dealers’ current finance programs, before returning a list of new and used vehicles that match the shopper’s desired payment.
“Shop-By-Payment for Payment Pro revolutionizes the online auto shopping experience,” said Phil DuPree, president, AutoUSA. “Instead of searching for vehicles based on make, model or price, customers can now view and choose from all the vehicles they know they can afford based on the monthly payment.”
After displaying a list of vehicles that match the customer’s payment range, Shop-By-Payment allows the customer to change criteria, including monthly payment, down payment or the bottom line price they are willing to pay. The inventory displayed instantly adjusts to the new criteria selected by the customer. When the customer narrows the selection of vehicles, they click on a button with the desired monthly payment. That information then becomes a credit analyzed Web site lead and is sent to the dealership.
