While I'm thinking, is this for real or thinly veiled spam -- I find it doesn't matter, because it's a good topic to talk about.
 
My biggest frustration with these sorts of apps is that they do what you propose: I pick the car, you show me the numbers. To me, this is backwards.
 
I've bought many a car simply because (i) it suited my needs, which aren't complicated, and (ii) because the price was right.
 
I prefer to see the numbers for all makes on one page -- cars.com is a good example for this. Then I can follow links to the details.
 
To put it another way: I'm not in the market for a small pickup. But if there's a $5,000 rebate on the Chevy Colorado, I want to know about it.

Thanks for the feedback, Mathias!
 
Sorting incentives by size is a great idea, and should be something I can add. In addition to an overall "sort my current incentives by size" function, would it be good to also offer sorting within a vehicle segment? Like you said, you might want to know the largest rebates for pickups, and you don't really want to see rebates for subcompacts. So I wonder if that'd be a good option too?
 
To answer your first question, this is product research - not spam. I have nothing to sell. IF we develop a paid app, then those that register at WhatsTheRebate.com will get the app for free.
 
Keep the great ideas coming, and thanks again!

#4045 of 4048 Ally Lease Requirements? by zyaaaaa

Feb 06, 2012 (9:13 am)

Can anyone tell me the credit score requirements for Ally leases? I know the prime range is 620+ but within that they have S, A, B, and C and I'm trying to figure out what score is needed for the best rates.
