What’s new in Leadbox’s Latest Website Release – Dec 2021

The Leadbox core website team is excited to announce the latest release of the Leadbox website platform.

This release includes features in many different areas:

• Definable Finance Rates for Used Vehicles
• Vehicle Card Banners

Let’s take a look!

Definable Finance Rates for Used Vehicles

Many car shoppers will use monthly payments to determine affordability. Some more so than the actual cost of the vehicle themselves. As a result, many dealers want to be able to provide a finance rate for their used vehicles as a way to show shoppers what the monthly payments will be. 

Dealers will be able to define rates and monthly term based on:

• Vehicle Age (Current year – Production Year of vehicle) 
• Vehicle year 
• Model 
• CPO status

For example, a dealer can ask Leadbox to set:

• CPO vehicles from 0 years age to 2 year age with 1.99% rate for 60 months 
• Non-CPO vehicles from 0 years to 2 years age with 3.99 for 60 months
• All used vehicles from 3 years of age onward at 5.99% financing for 60 months.

This will flexibility will provide dealers with the ability to show used car shoppers an accurate regular payment amount to help easily determine affordability.

At this time, initially setting and modification of rates can only be done by request to support@leadboxhq.com, however, a dealer-supported interface will be coming in the future for customers to modify their own finance rates.

Vehicle Card Banners

When visiting a Dealer’s website, our statistics show that shoppers spend the most amount of time searching for new or used inventory. However, while it’s great that shoppers are spending all this time here, they are sometimes not aware of the promotions or sales the dealer is currently offering. 

As a result, many dealers are looking for ways to insert their message into the most popular area of their Dealer’s website without it being too intrusive.

Introducing the Vehicle Card Banner. 

Dealers can now add Vehicle Card Banners in the results area of the vehicle search. Dealers can specify a different banner for New and Used search results and can choose the interval these banners are displayed along with the link address. 

This gives Dealers a great opportunity to add messaging to promote their latest sale or promotion in one of the most often seen areas of the Dealer’s website. 

At this time, the Vehicle Card Banner can only be enabled by request to support@leadboxhq.com, however, a dealer-supported interface will be coming in the future.
