Reynolds and Reynolds' Networkcar(TM) Offers Reyna Financing Plans to Fleet Customers

SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 2 -- Networkcar(TM), a Reynolds and Reynolds Company , announced today that it is offering an equipment leasing program to its Networkcar for Business fleet customers. Networkcar's finance leasing option is provided by Reyna Capital Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reynolds and Reynolds.

Networkcar's leasing program is available to qualified customers who finance a minimum of $2,500. Customers have the option of selecting 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 month lease terms with a purchase option at the end of the lease.

"I am excited to have the opportunity to offer Reyna's leasing program to our new and existing fleet clients," stated Networkcar President Dave Dutch. "In today's constantly changing transportation environment, fleet operators need as many options as we can provide to help them implement advanced technology solutions while maintaining profitability."

Equipment leasing continues to be a popular financing alternative and has many benefits including lower up-front cash requirements, level monthly payments, conservation of credit lines, and tax advantages.

"Leasing is the most cost effective way for a company to maintain operational equipment needs without an adverse effect on working capital," said Jim Penikas, director of Reyna Capital Corporation. "Working capital is wasted when tied up in vehicles or equipment since it's the use of the equipment, and not the ownership, that produces profits. We look forward to working with Networkcar to provide their fleet customers with leasing solutions."

Networkcar's system collects and organizes detailed automotive information directly from a vehicle's engine computer and location-based information from a global positioning system (GPS). Maintenance and operation information is transmitted wirelessly to an information center where it is made available to fleets and car owners in the form of immediate e-mail alerts, summary e-mail reports or easy-to-read Web pages. Networkcar's technology is compatible with virtually all cars manufactured since 1996 and trucks manufactured since 1988.
