Entering your vehicle
When you first launch the app you will see an empty table like this:
Tap the plus button and enter your vehicle's information. Tap Save when you're done.
- Car Nickname is exactly that, what would you like to call your car (i.e. Honda Accord, My Car, etc)
- Picture is optional. You can take a pic or select one from your camera roll
- Lease terms is information about your lease:
- length in months (i.e. 24, 36, 39, etc)
- mileage (i.e. 24000, 36000, etc)
- cents/mile. This is the cost, in cents, for every mile over your allotted mileage for the lease. This is to be entered in cents, but without the decimal. For example if you have to pay $0.15 (fifteen cents) you enter 15.
- Starting Values is information about the start of the lease
- Starting Mileage. How many miles were on the car when you got it?
- Starting Date. When did you get the car?
- TIP: If you are on a text box and you see the keyboard you can scroll the table to make it disappear
