Powered by Market Scan’s proprietary technology, analytics and data, mGauge, analyzes competitors’ published lease and loan finance programs. This enables lenders to create and offer competitive finance options for in-market car buyers and automotive dealers—ultimately leading to an increased bottom line and improved customer loyalty. For example, a lender could see that a competitor will offer a subprime car shopper a specific rate on a full-sized pickup truck—opening the door to offer a better interest rate or match the loan terms.
“In an overly competitive marketplace, lenders need to find ways to attract and retain car shoppers—comparable loan terms are a keen way to accomplish that goal,”
