      Wanted to say a few things about this auto finance lender in *********. Lincoln Financial has been around since **** and unlike many other lenders in business now they have very little history and relationships like Lincoln does. This company is here serving independent auto dealers and their customers to bridge the want and need of owning a vehicle into reality. If you are a dealer in the area call ***** or ***** today for more information.Lincoln your financial partner since ****.
