  • Publication number: 20180225748
    Abstract: An F&I menu system for the sale of vehicles, or other products which are often financed and which includes multiple options. A display shows the price of the vehicle with and without the options, and as icons representing the optional items are selected and deselected, the with-options price is automatically updated. The display may include an area showing a predetermined set of options and an associated price, and individual icons may be dragged and dropped into a separate selection area whose display is suppressed until an icon is moved into the selection area. Once a sale is completed, the backend system may generate customized electronic follow up communications to customers concerning certain options the customer originally declined to purchase for their vehicle as well as a timeline display of the customer's interaction with the F&I menu system display.
