Autodata Solutions and DriveItNow Give Consumers More Detailed Payment Options Using OEM Incentives and Rebates

DriveItNow pre-qualifies consumers based on their actual credit, OEM incentives and dealer financing guidelines to provide the clearest picture yet of their car-buying power.

Detroit, MI-- August 23, 2011 - Professional services and technology firm Autodata Solutions, Inc., today announced a referral agreement with DriveItNow to help turn web visitors into buyers with a pre-qualified payment marketing conversion tool.

DriveItNow is a payment-based calculator that can be incorporated into dealership websites, online auctions, classified listings and manufacturer sites. The patent-pending technology provides consumers with instant car payment information based on a combination of the user's credit eligibility, manufacturer rebate and incentive information and a dealer's finance guidelines. The service has no impact on the consumer's credit score and no personal or sensitive information is required.

"Showing a real payment on a real car that the customer is credit eligible for is key to having a more qualified and ready buyer,-- said Rusty Platt, Program Director, DriveItNow. "Adding the most complete incentive information from Autodata Solutions gives a customer the most realistic payment option to help them buy the car they want.
