2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Advanced

with Radar, Softex Leather, Premium Navigation, Backup Camera, Bluetooth, & HOV stickers valid until 2019

This is a Quiet car that runs normally either on regular Gasoline just like any modern car.  However it features an advanced hybrid System that allows you plug in the included power cord to any standard household electrical outlet (just like a cellphone or coffee maker). This allows the advanced battery to charge fully in 1.5-3 hours. This electrical added power lets this car get up to a mind blowing 1,000 MPG on short trips if regularly charged. On more typical longer trips the Gas engine will engage either at the driver’s choice or automatically when called for. Running in Hybrid Vehicle mode without any plug-in charging the car will still get a formidable 51MPG. The federal EPA officially rated it to expect a 95 miles-per-Gallon average for real world use fuel economy. My short trip test drives so far exceed the official Government 95mpg-e rating. I am currently able to exceed 300mpg. When I run short trips the dash displays 999 miles per gallon for drives when the gas engine is not used. Unlike other plug-in cars, This Prius can take endless long trips such as to far away states. It runs like a regular Prius and will still get 51mpg and does not require any plug-ins.

 

This car is very powerful and features a 1.8 liter gas engine running in parallel with a powerful electric motor. The electric motor by itself is powerful enough to move the car with brisk acceleration and if the driver presses the Power mode button then you have a very responsive beast of an automobile. The car is fully capable to drive at speeds in excess of the posted 80mph speed limits that are only in certain states. This car is designed to be a fuel saving car without giving up the luxuries.

HOV Stickers

In California this car has very special perks of being one of only 40,000 Plug-in hybrid cars permitted to let its driver travel All alone in the Carpool HOV Lanes. This is a BIG-Deal and makes this a popular choice for executives, celebrities, and professionals. Many of my prior HOV sticker car customers were CEOs, Attorneys, Family oriented types where time on the road is lost time. In a world where Time is Priceless, This car can pay for itself at full price in weeks or months. No need to bring along a guest because now you can drive alone in the HOV Lanes.

Act Now!!! The Government is only allowed to authorize 40,000 cars with green permits. As of December 31 2013 less than 11,000 spots remain statewide. That was 2 month ago and those remaining spots may already be spoken for by pending applications sitting in piles in the mailroom up in Sacramento. I am projecting that California will formally announce the green stickers are sold out in the next couple months.

Not for you to worry because this car has already been authorized so you can buy this car and guarantee yourself the right to bypass all that traffic starting right now.

Let’s examine the alternatives:

*Rot in Traffic?

*Buy a Pure Electric such as Nissan Leaf and suffer battery Range Anxiety= (worry if you have enough charge to make a trip)?

*Buy a Brand New Plug-in and cross your fingers and prey that the state won’t run out of HOV Permits before they get to your Time stamped application?

*Stay Home?

OR

*BUY this Plug-in Prius and never have to worry about any of that because you will be good to go on all counts.

 

Once all the permits are assigned, based on the gold sticker program people paid an extra $4,000-$6,000 over market value to obtain an HOV sticker permitted car. That same result is likely during 2014 after the green sticker allocations are done.

 

NOTE: the HOV stickers are Government issued numbered document sets assigned to specific cars. They are not owned. They stay with the car they are assigned (like License plates) to and can not be transferred to a different car. Anyone driving the permitted car is authorized to drive it in the HOV lane. Example: if you bought this car for a company, any employee or authorized driver of the company can drive the car solo in the carpool lane. The permits apply to the car regardless of who drives it. This time saving feature can give you a very significant time/money saving advantage in traffic congested areas. For some buyers these cars can pay for themselves within months.

If permitted cars stickers are damaged, they can always be replaced for an $8 DMV administrative fee.

Vehicle Payment options

I recommend that you pay by one of the following methods, Cash in person, Auto Loan Check, bank check, credit union check, and Auto Loan check, Bank to bank Wire Transfer, Account deposit, personal checks, Pay Pal, Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, or other secure methods.  Depending on the method you choose, I may require that funds must clear in my account for me to release the car.

Auto Loan Financing Options & $0 down payment options

I advise anyone who would consider financing this purchase to apply for an auto loan prequalification. You can & should apply with a credit union or bank in your area of your own or select one of the trusted lenders that I have provided on the list below. The most important thing that you need to keep in mind when looking for your lender is that you will be purchasing from a California Licensed dealership (in my case). Most Banks and credit unions would be happy to work a loan with us. Make sure that your lender understands that you will be making a traditional dealer purchase. If you are not a California resident then advise you lender that this will be an interstate transaction.  You may Select 1 or more lenders and apply for a Loan Pre-Qualification.  The Lender or credit union will tell you your maximum limit. Just bid up to your Qualification limit. Above that you will probably have to pay out of pocket or by credit card.  Just remember that depending where you live you will likely have to pay 0% up to 11% for registration of the vehicle.  Many lenders will give you an allowance for any needed fees to accommodate a zero down purchase. If you are approved, these lenders are all independent and nonbinding to my dealership.  You may use these loans to buy any Vehicle not just my Vehicle. The Lenders below have all funded auto loans to our customers within the last 6 months. Most have been very helpful and easy to work with.

Recommend lenders including Pentagon FCU offering 1.499% APR for 60 months & USAA for Almost instant loan approval & Funding

Can I put the whole price on a credit card?

The new credit card laws now

If you want to charge over $500 to a credit card, The best method may be to submit a Balance Transfer Request to your credit card company. Your credit card company may be able to issue us a printed balance transfer or convenience check for up to the available limit on your credit card. We would set you up a temporary 10 day loan while your balance transfer is processed. The temporary loan would require the vehicle be held as collateral until we receive clear funds from your credit card provider. We may charge a Loan Origination fee for this method.

Alternately, You can do a Balance transfer or cash advance from your credit card to your own bank or credit accounts to generate the necessary capitol.

Balance transfer may offer you interest rates as low as 0% APR depending on your credit provider.

What type of buyer protection do I have if I buy this specific Vehicle?

·        A Money back guarantee option is available on this vehicle (You won’t get that with a new vehicle!)

·        EBay offers $50,000 of buyer protection

·        I am a Bonded dealer in the state of California (Bonded means that I myself have a $50,000 transaction insurance bond on file with California Department of Motor Vehicles)

·        The jurisdiction for this transaction is in California. California has the strongest consumer/financially interested parties’ protection laws in the world. A new state law became effective July 1 2008 that has created a $5,000,000 fund to protect lenders and car buyers for the purpose of providing a state run safety net relating to automobile transaction involving licensed California dealers such as myself.

Andrew Gilleland is new VP of Scion, Murtha moves to Toyota

Fri, Sep 25 2015

Scion is getting some fresh blood at the top as Andrew Gilleland (pictured above) becomes the new vice president to take over for Doug Murtha. Gilleland is no stranger to the division, and served as the national field operations manager early in the brand's launch. Murtha moves to take leadership of corporate strategy and planning for Toyota in North America. "Now it's Andrew's charge to spread the message of the style and value of the iM and iA, as well as a third new vehicle that will be added to the lineup," Toyota division group vice president Bill Fay said in the announcement. Gilleland moves up from being general manager of Toyota's central Atlantic regional office. He takes the reins at Scion at a potential turning point for the division. Sales volume for the year through August is down 22.1 percent to 32,691 vehicles, but some big changes are afoot. The long-lived xB is likely about to bow out, and the brand is launching two new products with the iM and iA. They're getting some celebrity advertising, too. Spy shots also suggest the FR-S might get a refresh soon. Plus, the third model Fay teases is expected to be a compact crossover, possibly with styling inspiration from the Toyota C-HR concept. Scion could get a big boost by having an entry in that booming segment. New Products, Previous Player - Scion Introduces New Vice President Andrew Gilleland Returns to Youth Brand September 24, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2015) – In the early days of Scion, when xAs and xBs were flying out of dealers' showrooms, Andrew Gilleland was the National Field Operations Manager for the youth brand. He was responsible for working with dealers to ensure they embraced the new products and processes Scion offered. Now, Scion is entering its teen years, and Gilleland is back as Vice President of Scion, once again encouraging dealers to sell its new models and investigate new methods to attract young buyers. "Scion has sold nearly a million vehicles since I left in 2005 and I'm excited to be back leading this team," said Gilleland. "The iM 5-door hatchback and iA sports sedan arrived at dealerships earlier this month and the response has been great.

IIHS gives good ratings to 4 of 8 midsize pickups in crash test

Wed, Sep 6 2017

Versions of the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon Crew Cab earned top ratings in a new crash test of midsize pickup trucks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, while two versions of the Nissan Frontier earned marginal ratings. But the organization gave poor marks to all eight pickups tested for their dim headlights. Overall, four of the eight pickups evaluated earned good ratings for protecting occupants in all five crash test categories — the Tacoma double cab along with crew cab versions of the Colorado, Canyon and Tacoma. But the poor headlights and lack of an automatic emergency braking system blocked any of the pickups from qualifying for the IIHS's Top Safety Pick awards. The study looked at two pickup body styles using 2017 models: crew cabs, which have four full doors and two full rows of seating, and extended cabs, which have two full front doors, two smaller rear doors and compact second-row seats. It subjected each to five tests, and it evaluated the performance of front crash prevention systems and headlights. The Toyota Tacoma crew cab was the only pickup in that class that earned a good rating for structure in the small overlap test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle clips a tree, pole or another vehicle that has crossed the center line. The model's Access Cab extended-cab version was rated similarly, though its structure was rated acceptable. "This group of small pickups performed better in the small overlap front test than many of their larger pickup cousins," says David Zuby, the Institute's executive vice president and chief research officer. "The exception was the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't had a structural redesign since the 2005 model year." The extended-cab versions of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon earned acceptable ratings, while both the Nissan Frontier king-cab and crew-cab models were rated marginal. Toyota says its 2018 Tacoma will feature upgraded headlights and a standard autobraking system that can detect pedestrians. "Headlights are basic but vital safety equipment. Drivers shouldn't have to give up the ability to see the road at night when they choose a small pickup," Zuby said.

2014 Toyota Tundra appears with revised styling, same mechanicals

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has pulled the curtain back on its 2014 Tundra, showing a truck that has gotten its most significant refresh since its launch as a 2007 model. For better or worse, however, the changes that Toyota has made to the fullsize pickup are mostly cosmetic, with the underpinnings of the vehicle staying unchanged.
The most obvious revision for 2014 is to the bluff front fascia of the truck. There's a new, taller squared-off grille decorating the Tundra's nose, along with a revised, three-part front bumper design. The optional black grille-frame strikes us as an acquired taste, to say the least, but other models, like the Limited above, is all clad in chrome. Fenders and wheel wells are more square than in the out-going truck, too. Perhaps most significant is the revised bed design, which Toyota calls "all-new," with new sheet metal on the sides, a revised tailgate and a very subtle integrated spoiler.
Inside, Toyota has given buyers some new seats and a new-look instrument panel. A backup camera (always handy on big trucks) is now standard equipment on all grades, as is Bluetooth connectivity. Blind spot monitoring is a new, optional feature as well. In all, as with the exterior mods, the changes in-cabin are far more evolutionary than revolutionary.
