Enter the total price before any rebates and discounts, inclusive of GST. Then enter the STC amount that will be deducted from this total.
The eligibility of a loan is dependent on the benefits calculation you provide. If the benefits are over $46.35 per month, the system will allow you to indicate if your customer is interested in an interest free loan.
Based on the information you’ve entered, the estimated rebate, loan and customer net payable amount will be appear on the screen.
A quote expiry date will automatically appear. This is set at three months from the date you raise the quote but you can change this to an earlier date if you choose to.
