As a car buyer, these calculators make me insane. Every dealership and OEM finance and lease calculator is so far off, its offputting.

For our next-gen dealer website platform coming out in the next month or two, we're pulling current VIN-specific data, local tax rates, state-specific tax calculation formulas, and available lease or finance incentives to create accurate calculators on our VDPs.

Our data shows that our finance and lease calculators are getting a lot of use, why not make them realistic?

My best guess for why current calculators behave as they do is because many dealers and OEMs are afraid to "overpromise" online.
