2012 Toyota Prius with 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. This is a Prius Hybrid just like all the other Prius However it features a more 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). Here I chart what you might expect for MPG & Charge effects.

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 Corporations, 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.

 

State law only allows 40,000 plug-in Hybrids to operate with HOV stickers As of May 5 2014 all 40k stickers are already assigned. As a result new cars cannot get stickers and used cars that don’t have the sticker assignment cannot either.

 

To get the stickers you MUST buy a car that already has them.

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.

2013 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Tue, 29 Jan 2013

Giving Vanilla A Good Name
"Vanilla." Taken in modern context, that's not a compliment, but it should be. Vanilla actually has exotic origins, and as spices go, only saffron is more costly. Despite the realities, calling something "vanilla" is not whistling in admiration. The Toyota Camry has been called "vanilla" countless times since its debut, but both the car and the bean have something up their sleeves.
Scoff all you want, but vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor, and there is no mainstream sedan that outsells the Camry. Apparently, vanilla has an underlying tinge of filthy lucre. We didn't feel rich, exactly, wheeling around in the Camry Hybrid, but we came away impressed, nonetheless.

What would you drive in 1985?

Wed, May 6 2020

Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985?  It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic."  West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today.   Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?

Toyota to buck engine downsizing trend, may go larger and turbo-free

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Turbocharging isn't really Toyota's specialty, and the Japanese automaker isn't being shy about acknowledging it. Koei Saga, a senior managing officer in charge of drivetrain research and development, says that eschewing turbos and increasing displacement of engines using the Atkinson cycle can produce better power gains without sacrificing fuel economy, Automotive News reports.
Toyota is investing heavily in larger-displacement Atkinson-cycle engines in addition to turbocharged engines, but Saga doesn't think the automaker will use turbocharging across many product lines. He apparently remains unconvinced that the technology "makes the world better."
In Toyota's eyes then, Atkinson cycle engines do make the world better, and here's how. Their pistons complete four processes - intake, compression, power and exhaust - in one revolution of the crankshaft, and the power stroke is longer than the compression stroke. Traditional Otto cycle engines require two crankshaft revolutions to accomplish those same four operations and have equal-length compression and power strokes. Atkinson cycle engines are more efficient, but less power dense, though increasing displacement can offset that shortfall.
