Legacy Automotive Group

Legacy Automotive Group Driving Higher Profits, Cleaner Data, and Full Visibility

Published On: February 25th, 2026Categories: Dealer Wins

Legacy Automotive Group is a four-store dealer group based in Southeast Kentucky, spanning Legacy Nissan, Legacy Ford, Legacy GMC Chevrolet, and Tincher Williams Chevrolet across the London and Corbin markets. Dealer Principal Ed Hyde runs a lean management structure with a centralized recon operation and a sharp focus on used inventory performance, making efficiency and data-driven decision making core to how the group operates.

The Challenge 

As the group grew across rooftops, Legacy’s previous tool started showing its limits. The market data wasn’t clean, competing pricing from salvage title dealers and high-mileage lots was bleeding into their comparisons, quietly pulling their pricing down further than it needed to go. And with no easy way to filter out irrelevant competitors, Ed and his team had no real confidence they were making the right calls.

On top of that, managing used inventory across multiple stores meant juggling several disconnected platforms, there was no single place to get a clear picture of what was on the lot, what was aging, and where the opportunities were. The tool had served its purpose, but Legacy had outgrown it.

“Anything you think of when it comes to managing your inventory, VINCUE does it.”

The Solution

When Legacy switched to VINCUE, the difference was immediate. For the first time, Ed could filter out irrelevant competitors, salvage title dealers, high-mileage lots, directly inside the platform, without a support call, giving his team clean market data and the confidence to price accurately. Managing inventory across four rooftops went from a multi-tool juggling act to a single centralized login, with turn rate, aging, lead activity, and recon visibility all in one place.

Trim and build-specific data meant that when a customer came in claiming a competitor was $500 cheaper, the answer was right there on screen, because it wasn’t the same car. And with CRM lead data flowing directly into VINCUE, Ed’s team could see not just how many leads a vehicle had, but use that demand signal to make smarter appraisal and pricing decisions in real time. It wasn’t just a tool upgrade, it was a completely different way of running the business.

The Impact

For Ed Hyde and Legacy Automotive, switching to VINCUE wasn’t just a tool change, it was a turning point for them. With cleaner data, centralized visibility, and processes that actually scale across rooftops, Legacy went from reacting to their market to confidently leading it. As Ed puts it, “Transparency builds trust, and that’s what VINCUE allows us to do.”

Our Dealers Can’t Stay Quiet on Google

Launched VINCUE a couple months ago for our dealership as we were previously on vAuto. We love the pricing, software, and the support team is engaging with a lot of new features coming. It was a GREAT decision to switch from vAuto to VINCUE and we are very happy with the new software and support team.

New to the VINCUE family, and I’m very impressed with the immediate support provided by the team. Charlie Basham has been a key factor in getting the dealership started on a great path with the VINCUE system. He has been very responsive to my questions and has made sure I can navigate the key reports and understand the process used. Cheyenne Currier has also been very responsive with merchandising uploads needed by the dealership. I look forward to working with the VINCUE Team in the future.

Was previously with another provider for 16 years but now have been with VINCUE for 6 months and I absolutely love it and would never go back to my old provider. Even if you’re not considering making any changes right now, this is one I would look into and you won’t regret it! What I realized is how behind the times my previous provider is and I didn’t even realize it until I learned about VINCUE!
