Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for displaying and calculating a vehicle loan can include input fields for adjusting parameters associated with the vehicle loan. The system can provide selectable gauges that can be used to adjust parameters of the vehicle loan. The gauges can comprise analog displays that include an indicator, such as a needle or graphical blocks. The indicator can be selected and repositioned. The gauges can have a design, shape, and feel that resemble gauges of a vehicle, like an automobile. The gauges can display relative values that simulate relative values found in a vehicle, like an automobile. The system can comprise a three tier computer architecture with a computer server, a back-end system, and a client computer. In one exemplary embodiment, the software can run on the client computer and then access certain graphical files for the gauges that can be stored on the computer server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a computer for coordinating an electronic qualification form between a consumer and a plurality of financial service providers and wholesale investors. After receiving qualification form data, a special processing computer applies a filter to the data. The filter comprises selection criteria provided by financial service providers and wholesale investors which allows these organizations to filter out qualification forms that they do not want. After the data is filtered, the qualification form can be transmitted to those organizations who match the data in the qualification form based on the filtration. According to one exemplary aspect, a financial coordinator who runs a computer matching engine can be a single point of contact for a consumer with respect to several wholesale investors of the financial coordinator who may offer the consumer financial products or services.
