FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. -- RouteOne LLC announced that Bay View Acceptance Corp. is now participating on its credit application management system. California-based Bay View Acceptance provides lending services to more than 7,000 franchised automobile dealers in 32 states. Bay View is the most recent finance source to take advantage of RouteOne's technical integration with APPRO Systems.

RouteOne, a joint venture created in early 2002 by DaimlerChrysler

Services, Ford Motor Credit Co., General Motors Acceptance Corp. and Toyota Financial Services, allows dealers to submit credit applications and receive decisions from multiple finance sources, all from a single

desktop. Currently, more than 18,000 dealerships are enrolled on the system, which is free to dealers, and open to franchised and independent vehicle dealers. RouteOne provides dealers access to finance sources by

combining the unique advantages of the major captive systems with access to

other finance sources.

Bay View Acceptance Corp. provides franchised and independent auto dealers with retail contract products. For well-qualified borrowers, Bay View's product array includes extended-term and 100-percent financing for any year, make or model vehicle.

"We're excited to add Bay View Acceptance to our growing list of

participating finance sources," said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. "Bay View's wide product spectrum complements our current array of finance sources and demonstrates our commitment to provide our dealer customers with a comprehensive selection of respected finance sources."

"The decision to join RouteOne was an easy one," said John Moody, Bay View Dealer Center manager. "We were able to reach our current and potential customer pool through RouteOne's expansive dealer network with minimal development time. Since both RouteOne and Bay View partner with APPRO Systems, technical connectivity is quick and cost-efficient."
