WHAT IS CASH BACK?
You hear the "Cash Back" option from so many lenders, Mike will explain exactly what this option means. On approved credit, you can actually get up to $20,000 cash back. The goal for everyone is to pay off existing debt with the available cash back. Some use the cash back to pay off their high interest loans, credit cards, some use the cash to take a break and go on a much needed holiday.
CAN YOU ACCESSORIZE YOUR CAR OR TRUCK PROFESSIONALLY AND FINANCE INTO YOUR LOAN AT LOW INTEREST
We have the perfect truck, but you want custom rims and a lift on it. Legacy Cars can get this done for you professionally for a fraction of the price of what you would pay privately. Best of all, Mike can have this expense financed for you with your vehicle loan.
ACCESSORIZING - Whether you choose to have cash back or finance the extras into your loan, along with custom rims, wheels and lifts, Legacy Cars can add window tint, back up camera, heated seats, dash camera, winter tires, security system, remote start, etc... Just ask Mike!
CAN YOU PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON USED CARS?
YES! Some of our newer vehicles do come with an existing manufacturing warranty. However, it is great that Legacy Cars has established relationships with not just banks over the 15+ years in business, we have also established relationships with top-rated, well-known and reputable insurance and warranty companies to offer you affordable and customizable extended warranties.

Annual Percentage Rate* "APR" explained...
You as the buyer do not have the cash to buy the car or truck outright. So, you need to borrow. Borrow from a bank or a lending company. These lenders are in the business of loans, so they want interest for lending you the cash to buy the car or truck. The APR fluctuates based on your credit history, what vehicle you are purchasing, and can be different from lender to lender. If your credit is not the greatest, your APR rate will be higher. At Legacy Cars we have been in business for over 15 years and have established relationships with various lenders and banks so you can be confident we are getting you the best APR rate possible.
*Lenders have their own unique sales contract that they provide to our finance office. Some may use different terminology and have the same meaning as noted above here. ie. Some contracts will read "Annual Interest Rate" and others, "Annual Percentage Rate"... Luckily for you, Mike can help you make sense of it all!
