I love this program, easy to use and present to my customers and I love showing a buy vs lease, it has increased my closing ratio. Even the "Old school" guys like it and my managers that are old school says it helps them alot too. I have seen when my manager calls for any help they are right there w/ the customer service. They learned about this through another dealership that was using it w/ great success.
