[USER=10940]@Marc Lavoie[/USER] I don't think it will ever be about exact payments. If you're going to include payment options, you're going to have to make it very clear that these are estimates, and not exact payments.I think the bigger point is that people can get an idea, and not only that, but you're not looking like you're hiding anything from them.There's plenty of financing estimates in other industries as well. I'm shopping for houses, and both the Zillow and Trulia app ask about my credit score so that I can get an estimated monthly payment from every house I look at. It's estimated, and houses have plenty of other factors that go into payment options, but it gives me an estimate and a comparable number that I can at least attempt to plan around myself.I would imagine that thought process is very evident given the increasing importance of the internet.
