It's Tax Time! We don't want your tax dollars.

It's tax time and Regal wants you to keep your hard earned money because we ALWAYS have low down payments. You may have seen other dealers offer to "Drive Away with Nothing Down" if you give up all of that hard earned tax money when it comes in. We don't want it. What we DO want is to offer you always low down payments because that is being fair to our customers. Regal doesn't want you to sign away that money. Our down payments can be as low as $200.00 and with our extensive inventory, that is a lot of vehicles with low down payments.

This is just one example of the "Regal Difference". There are many.

• All of our vehicles are "Regal Certified"
• All of our vehicles carry a 12 Month / 12,000 Mile Warranty
• Easy Approval. Your manager has the ability to approve most applications, they are not faxed anywhere.
• Improve our customer's credit. We report to the credit bureau monthly
• Always low interest rates.

Refer a Customer Today! Get Money!

For the past year, Regal has offered referral money in the form of a scratch off card. You had the chance to win anywhere from $100.00 up to $500.00 if you were lucky enough. We have found over the past year that is more beneficial to our customers to offer $100.00 cash/check referrals with the possibility of $150.00 if you have it applied to your account. The process is less complicated than before. Do you know someone that is ready to buy a vehicle? Send them to Regal and earn yourself $100.00 in cold hard cash.

Regal's Online Inventory Separates Us From The Others

In the Buy Here Pay Here business, many car dealers rarely have websites let alone have an online inventory to help customers. At Regal Car Sales, we want your experience with us to be one of convenience and comfort. That is why we have an online inventory for you.

When you search our website for a vehicle, you will find many tools to help you find the vehicle you need. Not only can you see the vehicles by location, but we offer a feature that lets you find a vehicle based on its price and mileage. Once you find that vehicle, you will have a very detailed list of the vehicle's many options and pictures to go with it.

You'll notice little icons on the vehicle list. These icons represent whether the vehicle is a "Green" vehicle with good gas mileage or a current "Special" vehicle with special pricing.

If you haven't seen our online inventory, why wait? You can schedule a test drive, ask to be contacted by one of our Regal CSR's or fill out our simple online credit application.

Our online inventory is just another example of how Regal Car Sales is different from anyone else.

The Buy Here Pay Here ABC's

Some people have heard of "Buy Here Pay Here" (BHPH) car lots, to others it's a completely new car world. A lot of people, especially in today's economy, are turning to BHPH dealerships because they can get easier financing, less hassle with sales people and generally just need a car or truck that will run good to get from work to home. There is a lot of confusion out there on the difference between BHPH and new car dealers so in the following post I'll try and discuss some Buy Here Pay Here basics.

What is "Buy Here Pay Here Financing"?
Getting financed at a BHPH dealership means that you are arranging a loan through the BHPH car lot. You make payments at the car lot you purchased the vehicle from. Basically it is referred to as "In-House Financing" vs getting financed at a bank  through a new car dealership.

For example, at Regal Car Sales we will set you up on a weekly or bi-weekly payment plan instead of the traditional month to month plan.

Differences Between the Regal Car Sales "Buy Here Pay Here" and Traditional New Car Dealerships
When you visit Regal, we will sit down and figure out how much you can get financed for. Once we have that figure we will then walk out to the car lot and show you the options that you qualify for. There is no pressure to put you in a vehicle you can't afford. At traditional new dealerships, you pick the car you want and get financed through a 3rd party lender. Usually you know how much you are financed for before you even step foot on the lot. Then you get pressured by the salesmen because they have quota's and other incentives that put more money in their pockets.

Another difference is that we are selling a company brand. When Regal sells a vehicle, we are not selling you a Ford or a Saturn, we are selling Regal. Therefore our vehicles go through detailed quality checks to make sure the vehicle is in good working order to sell to our customers. New car dealerships represent brands of car makers.

Benefits Of Shopping At Regal Car Sales Buy Here Pay Here Car Lots
1. Building credit is a huge concern to most of our customers. A lot of times, the reason they come to us is because they can't get financed from a traditional car dealership. Life happens, that is why we are here. We report to credit bureaus just like New car dealerships. The ultimate goal is to get you back on your feet financially.

2. Getting financed is much easier at BHPH dealerships. It helps our customers get that much needed vehicle instead of all the hassle of banks and new car dealership incentives.  Usually the process of buying a car at Regal is less than an hour.

Which Saves More Gas? Air or Open Windows?

Have you ever driven around in the Summer heat and wondered "Do I get better gas mileage from air or opening my windows on the road"? Well after researching this it seems that both are equally responsible for drinking up gas, just not in the same way.

Studies have shown that when you drive your car with the air on, and you are only driving in town (40 mph or less), you tend to use 10% more gas than opening the windows to drive. Now it would be easy to assume that we should just leave the windows open all the time to get better gas mileage, well, not exactly.

Those same studies also showed that having your windows open driving at high speeds (45mpg or higher) creates major "Wind Drag" on your car and uses close to 20% more gas than using the A/C.

So I guess it is same to assume that in town, its best to open windows and on the highway its best to run the A/C.

After reading the study, I will definitely be trying these tips to see if it helps at all. Sometimes its the little things that we over look that can save us major $$$. In today's world, anything helps.

Regal Cars Tips - Summerize Your Vehicle

[caption id="attachment_202" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Keep Your Fluids Up"][/caption]

It's Summer time, how is your vehicle holding up? We all need some good tips to help us keep our cars and trucks conditioned for the remainder of Summer. I will try and cover some of the basic things we can do to make sure our vehicles are running in tip top shape. If you have more questions, feel free to contact us at one of our 13 locations and ask to speak with a Regal Car Sales Technician.

Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day stuff that we forget to take care of our vehicles. So lets start by listing some of the really basic things you can do.

1. Battery
Summer time can make your battery work hard, just like Winter. If your battery is older, 2-3 years old, you might get it checked by a service shop and ask for options. Keeping your terminals clean is very important as well. This helps make sure you have a good connection and your battery works less. Today, batteries are fairly cheap so if you are in need it might be a good idea to have it replaced because they don't give very good warning signs when they are about to die.

2. Coolant and Antifreeze
In the Summer time, your car needs a good mixture of coolant and antifreeze. Preferrably a 50:50 mix. Having the proper mix of these fluids means that your vehicle liquid can boil at a higher temperature than using pure water. In the summer heat, this is extremely important so your car doesn't overheat.

3. Belts and Hoses
Your car deals with a lot of different weather changes. As a result, your belts and rubber hoses might dry out and break. It's always a good idea to look these over to see if you can spot any tears or cracks. Taking care of this will help save you the headache later on down the road.

4. Oil Thickness
Have your oil checked. In the heat of summer your oil will run very hot and it will thin out. Your car might not be getting the proper lubrication if your oil is too thin already. In the summer heat you want to have a thicker oil for better lubrication.

These are just some of the things you can do help get your car ready for the heat of summer. We live in the Midwest so the heat is always a major factor in our cars health.

If you have any questions about these tips or just have general questions about how to maintain your vehicle, you can call one of our 13 Regal Car Sales and Credit locations in Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas.

Simple Tips to Save Gas

What is gas priced at in your area? $3.40? $3.50? More? It's killing each and every one of us. Below I've listed some simple tips that can help you save money on gas usage. Lord knows we all need it!

Speeding
Oh how we all love to do it. Even 5-7 miles per hour over the limit is really costing you money that you could be keeping in your pocket. Next time you feel like punching the gas pedal, think about how much extra gas you are using... Big Saver!

Rage Drivers
I know, traffic is crazy no matter where you live. Did you know that driving crazy or aggressive is probably making you consume more gas and costing you more money at the pump? Relax, slow down and you can watch the savings pour in!

Cruise Control
Cars have cruise control to help you drive exactly at the speed you want. Tip here, USE IT! Driving at a consistent pace will most definitely stop you from using too much gas. Set it to the speed limit and you should be good.

Tire Pressure
This one is a biggie! If your tires are underinflated you could be using loads of gas and spending large amounts of money. Check your tires once or twice a month. Make sure they are right at where they need to be. Having your tires aired up to the correct level can save you some MAJOR DOUGH!

Stay Up On Your Maintenance
Your car or truck works better when you change the oil and fluids on a regular basis. If your car is older, changing the oil every 3,000 miles can considerably help your gas mileage and help you save money over the life of your vehicle.

Hopefully, you can use these simple little tips to help you save some cash at the pump. Until gas goes back down below 2 bucks a gallon, we can all use some help.

What are you doing to help ease the pains at the pump?

Avoid Those Extra Costs

Did you buy a car recently from somewhere other than Regal Car Sales? If so, what were the extra fees they tacked on to your contract? I would imagine they may have been enough to make you think "Wow, they didn't say anything about this when I came here". Well unfortunately its all too true. A lot of dealerships like to either hide extra fees in the fine print in your contract or downplay them when they are selling you a vehicle. It's not fair. When I go to a car lot, I would hope the person helping me would lay everything out in front of me before I sit down ready to sign the paperwork. It's a tactic used throughout a lot of dealerships. They get you to "buy-in" to the car of your choice or price range, then after you have an attachment to that car or truck they lay out the costs right when you are about to sign the dotted line.

We've seen everything from:

• Government Fees


• Doc Fees


• Lay Away Plan Fees


• Warranty Fees

You can rest assured at Regal, we don't hide ANYTHING from you. It's simply not fair to our customers. You pick the car you want based on the amout you are financed for, then we sit you down and, in plain english, show you exactly what you paying for.

We don't charge you anything for our 12 Month or 12,000 Mile Warranty. It's 100% Parts and Labor free.
We don't charge Doc Fees.

We don't hide anything. So the next time you are ready to purchase a vehicle, let Regal Car Sales and Credit show you how car buying is supposed to be done. Fair and Simple.
