Purchasing or Declining Returned Vehicles

Dealers check the Vehicle Purchase List view of the Dealer Portal periodically to determine whether they might want to buy any vehicles listed in that view. If they are interested in a vehicle, they can drill down on it in the list to see more details about it.

When the automobile company posts the vehicle on the Dealer Portal, it is visible initially only to the dealer who received it. If that dealer declines to buy the vehicle or if that dealer does not act within three days after it is posted, then the vehicle becomes available to all the dealers in the same territory as this dealer.

The territory is a geographical area that is associated with every dealer.

To purchase or decline to purchase a returned vehicle

1. In Siebel Dealer, navigate to the Vehicle Consignment screen, then the Vehicle Purchase view.
2. In the Vehicles Available for Purchase list, select the record for the vehicle you want to purchase or decline.
3. To decline to purchase the vehicle, click Not Interested.
4. To purchase the vehicle, click Purchase Vehicle.

   The Vehicle Purchase Confirmation dialog box appears, including a confirmation number for the purchase.

5. Click Print to print the sales order.
