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,”

John Gray
Experian’s President of Automotive.

“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,” said John Gray, Experian’s President of Automotive. “Unique insight into how competitors are pricing vehicles can level the playing field across the lender spectrum. More importantly, consumers can access favorable loan terms that can make vehicles more affordable and improve their financial health down the road.”
