RECENT CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS: When I decided I wanted to get back into a truck after recently purchasing a car, I knew my options were limited both to the cost of the truck as well as the value of my trade in. Scott at Laurel Toyota went ahead and provided bottom line pricing on a truck that met my exact desires and was able to arrange a fair trade in value for my previous vehicle. Living over 300 miles away from the dealership, needless to say I was a bit apprehensive at both the idea of buying a car out of state as well as making arrangements to actually take the vehicle home. Scott was able to assuage my fears and facilitate the entire process. One week after I found the truck I wanted I was driving it home. No high pressure F&I to deal with, asked if I was interested in any extended warranties and such, I politely declined and that was it. I really hope local dealers understand that is an absolutely phenomenal way to do business. Scott (sales) and Zack (F&I) were both great and I am very happy with my decision to purchase a vehicle from Laurel Toyota. Scott made every effort to answer any question in a timely fashion. He was great from the initial meeting through the delivery process. Great buying experience. Found the vehicle online and asked for more information about it. Scott Long responded immediately! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to set everything up through emails during the week and I got my car that Saturday. The price was great! Went over every detail of the car and answered any question I had. I love my new (used) car! I recently purchased a new 2014 Mustang GT premium. i knew going in the basic kind of car i wanted. they didn't have what i wanted at the dealership so they searched all nearby dealers and couldn't find what i was looking. we ended up placing a custom order threw ford to get the exact car i wanted. he quoted me a price, after incentives including taxes, and all applicable fees. i took my vehicle specs and the price he gave me and contacted local dealers to see if they could beat Laurel Fords offer, and they either offered a higher amount or didn't answer back at all. it was the best deal within 75 miles of where i lived. i decided to place the order threw Laurel Ford and it took about 9 weeks to get built and delivered. they kept me updated on my vehicle status with weekly emails. they did not pressure me into buying any additional upgrades or packages. when i the vehicle finally came i was relieved to find it was exactly what i wanted but also the price i paid was the exact price he quoted me 9 weeks prior. they are very transparent with their offers, so if they say this is what you will pay, you can expect to pay that and not a penny more. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the car and helped me get acquainted with all its gadgets. i also want to mention i traded in my old car towards this purchase. they gave me the highest amount Kelly Blue book said my car was worth. it was overall a pleasant experience. i will buy from them for life and recommend them to anyone interested in a new car. Purchased New Sienna based on the ebay deal, Scott Long was the Sales rep for the Dealership. My transaction was smooth, friendly and in timely manner. The car was as described, and paper work only took minutes. Scott coordinated the time perfectly so I would have pleasant experience. He even gave course on the options/gadgets on the car. Since I had limited time, he even offered to help me at later time if I had any questions related to the car options. I would shop again at Laurel Toyota, Thanks Scott. Recently purchased a 2009 Subaru from Laurel Toyota, represented by Scott Long on eBay. The whole transaction was fast, smooth and friendly. The vehicle was exactly as represented in the detailed description and posted video, and the roof racks were installed as requested. They brought the vehicle to the airport and the transaction was done and the car on its way home to Colorado in less than half an hour. I had no trouble reaching Scott by both phone and email to get answers to some logistical questions, and he's easy and pleasant to deal with. Subarus are premium priced in Colorado; this car was priced better at a significantly lower milage, with warranty coverage, and in much better condition than anything we found locally. Worth the cross country drive, and when next I need a vehicle, I'll contact Scott first. Overexcited!! Costumer. Scott is the man!!!! Drove home six hours with the used car I bought ,had a real pleasurable ride. The car performed excellent, the interior was fresh like new. The entire transaction was very smooth from start to finish. We took delivery yesterday morning, October 30th. The Acura MDX is all we hoped it would be. This thing has more whistles & and bells than I imaged. Recently purchased a 2010 Mercury Mariner from Laurel Ford in Windber, PA. Scott Long assisted us in the purchase. Mr. Long treated us as though we were purchasing a brand new car. He explained every detail of the vehicle with confidence and pride. Mr. Long was extremely professional in every regard, but very personable at the same time. Purchasing "used" cars in the past have never been a positive experience as dealers/salesman seemed more bothered to be assisting on a used vehicle vs a new one. Scott made us feel very important and it was truly a great experience. I will highly recommend Laurel Ford and Scott Long to friends and relatives. I contacted Scott in reference to a vehicle they had listed on the internet. I was able to negotiate the entire purchase, finance, and extended warranty of this vehicle via e-mail in less than 24 hours. The next day I flew to Pittsburgh, Scott had their delivery personnel pick me up at the airport, take me to the local McDonald's to look over the truck, complete the paperwork, and I was on my way home (North Carolina)! This was the best vehicle buying experience I have had! Price was great and the ease of the transaction was priceless! Thank you Scott! This is the second vehicle I bought from Scott and it wont be my last, Scott and laurel dealership there the greatest !!! Fast service when i told Scott what I was looking for he had it the next day Drove 4+ hours from Buffalo, NY for the truck of my dreams, and this dealership was worth every mile. Excellent service, communication, and attention to detail. Would reccomend them any day!! Friendly, no pressure sales, quick paperwork and minimum fees. Good old-fashioned service and support to customers. Hard to find such service and support today First time ever buying a truck on the computer, did not even see it in person, just pictures, so was very hesitant. The salesman, Scott Long, could not have been nicer nor more honest, made a deal onthe phone, including my trade in, that was very fair. When I got to the dealership to get my truck after a 4 hour drive, everything about the truck and deal was EXACTELY as we had spoken about! No add ons, no BS, nothing additional! Scott did a great job and the actual sale took only a few minutes as they had everything ready when I got there. This dealer was definately worth the drive and when I buy another I will certianly call them with no hesitations! I would also recomend them to anyone! Laurel Ford/Lincoln and representative Scott Long provided exceptional service, follow up and warranty integrity. Without question the best I've ever experienced in 40years! I am from Atlanta and worked with Scott Long to purchase a new 2014 Toyota Tundra. Even though I had to drive 12 hours to get to Johnstown, PA to pick up the truck working with Scott was very easy. We conducted all the negations and details including my trade via email. The entire process could not have been easier and I am very pleased with the purchase process and my new truck! I was nervous about purchasing a car on-line, but I could not have had a better experience. The car actually turned out to be better than advertised and the service I received was incredible. Scott was patient with all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable before I purchased a one-way plane ticket to fly to Pittsburgh and pick up the car. He even arranged to have the car delivered to me at the airport so I did not have to drive the two hours to the dealership. The guys that met me with the car were extremely friendly and just added that much more to the adventure. I had been looking for a new Toyota Highlander for 6 months prior to purchasing and this would be my first Toyota purchase. Then I found this Toyota Highlander on-line at Laurel Toyota and I was connected to Scott Long. Right from the get-go he kindly answered all of my questions about the vehicle and patiently worked with me over two days as we worked out the details about my trade-in and price over the phone and email. With most of the details worked out over the phone and email,I planned on making the 100 mile trek too see if we could finalize the deal on a Saturday. I, however, could not make it for personal reasons. He kindly held the vehicle for me until Monday no questions asked. So on Monday, I made the trek still hesitant that something was going to be wrong with the vehicle due to the excellent price! Dear Scott, This is a excellent dealership to consider a new vehicle with. I found a new tundra that I liked via internet and did my entire deal through email. I emailed pictured of my vehicle and was given a trade value that day. I drove 4 hours from NY to pickup a truck that I dont feel any local dealer could of helped me on in price! My hats of to the team at Laurel Toyota and anybody that is looking to purchase from them feel confident as you will be treated the way you should when purchasing a new vehicle. J.

2020 Ford Escape hybrids vs other crossover fuel sippers: How they compare on paper
Wed, Apr 3 2019Along with a new generation of Escape, Ford also reintroduced the world to the 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid. And if that weren't enough, Ford is adding a plug-in hybrid version. This is a sign of the times: people are more crossover crazy than ever, but are also seeking ways to use less fuel, whether it's for environmental or purely money-motivated reasons. The Ford hybrids aren't the only fuel-efficient compact crossovers on the market. They will be going head-to-head with conventional hybrids including the 2019 Kia Niro, 2019 Nissan Rogue Hybrid and 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. There are other plug-in hybrids including the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV, 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and the plug-in version of the 2019 Kia Niro. There are even a couple diesels in the form of the 2019 Chevy Equinox and 2019 GMC Terrain. So we've rounded up the details on all these crossovers to see who leads and lags in criteria such as power, fuel efficiency, space and price. Check out all their details below. 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid View 68 Photos How do their engines and fuel economy compare? Conventional Hybrids and Diesels Let's face it, if you're buying one of these crossovers, one of the things that matters most to you is just how frugal with fuel they are. We'll start off with the conventional hybrids and diesels, and the clear victor is the Kia Niro, which in base FE trim, manages to hit 50 mpg combined. This is thanks to it sharing its powertrain with the Hyundai Ioniq, the Hyundai equivalent of the Toyota Prius. Buyers should take note that only the FE returns such high fuel economy. The LX and EX drop to 49 mpg, and the S Touring and Touring get 43. Even then, the least efficient Niro is the most efficient of the normal hybrids and diesels. It is nearly the least powerful, though, with 139 horsepower. Just behind it is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. It delivers 40 mpg combined, and it has an ace up its sleeve: it comes standard with all-wheel drive. Every other vehicle in this powertrain group has front drive standard, and the Niro isn't available with all-wheel drive at all. If that weren't enough, the RAV4 Hybrid also boasts the most power at 219 horses. While we can't say anything about Escape Hybrid fuel economy, we do know that it will make 198 horsepower, which is close to the class-leading RAV4. The least powerful of these is the Equinox and Terrain, and they return the worst fuel economy at 32 mpg.
Toyota, PSA extend partnership with new European van
Wed, Dec 2 2015Toyota and PSA Peugeot Citroen collaborate on a number of vehicles. One of them is a small van jointly developed by the two automakers but marketed individually under their own brands across Europe. Now they've announced the extension of that collaboration, and revealed the first image and details of their new product. Set to be unveiled at their respective booths at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March are the new Toyota ProAce, Peugeot Traveller, and Citroen Spacetourer. They replace the Toyota model of the same name as well as the outgoing Peugeot Expert and Citroen Dispatch, and will each be made available in private and commercial shuttle forms. Although technical specifications have yet to be announced, each will share the same underpinnings and mechanical components, leaving only the parts you can see changing from one brand's version to the next. Expect engines to range from 1.5 to 2.0 liters and burning gasoline or diesel, but the latter will undoubtedly prove the more popular option in Europe. No mention was made of a replacement for the Fiat Scudo, another badge-engineered version of the same van program in its current form. That would seem to suggest that Fiat Professional is either preparing to go it alone with the next-generation Scudo, or phase out the model altogether. The current Scudo slots in between the smaller Doblo (imported to the US as the Ram ProMaster City) and the larger Ducato which was also jointly developed with PSA and sold as the Citroen Jumper/Relay, Peugeot Boxer, and here in America as the Ram ProMaster. The ProAce and its cousins are made by PSA at its Sevel plant in Valenciennes, France. Aside from their vans, the Japanese and French automakers also collaborate on the city car platform sold alternately as the Toyota Aygo, Peugeot 108, and Citroen C1. Fiat also partners with PSA on the smaller Fiat Fiorino/Qubo, Peugeot Bipper and Citroen Nemo. All of which just goes to show what a tangled web they weave in the European market, especially where commercial vehicles are concerned. NEW STAGE IN THE CO-OPERATION PROGRAM BETWEEN PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN AND TOYOTA PSA Peugeot Citroen and Toyota Motor Europe (TME) reveal today the new Citroen SPACETOURER, Peugeot TRAVELLER, and Toyota PROACE. They will be available in MPV versions for private use and in shuttle versions for business use. Both companies therefore confirm the continuation of their co-operation agreement signed in 2012.
Toyota ready to get dirty with new TRD Pro Series
Thu, 06 Feb 2014To the general public, Toyota is often thought of as a maker of bland but dependable cars, crossovers and SUVs that get their owners and a whole herd of whatever from Point A to Point B. Generally speaking, they're fuel efficient, comfortable and affordable. What the general public may not realize, however, is that Toyota enjoys a very strong history of going off road, too. The legendary Land Cruiser arguably established the trend, helping explore remote parts of the globe, while various guerilla warfare outfits and world military branches have unwittingly joined up with the boys from Top Gear to help cement the Hilux pickup's reputation for invincible performance. Now, though, Toyota is launching a new line of trucks and SUVs in the US that are even more explicitly targeted at hitting the trails. Meet the TRD Pro Series.
Featuring the 4Runner, Tacoma and Tundra, each Pro Series vehicle features TRD-tuned springs with Bilstein shocks, a TRD front skid plate, a TRD shifter, black wheels, branded floor mats and a "TOYOTA" grille badge, the latter of which harkens back to classic models. TRD Pro Series vehicles will be offered in the new Inferno paint color shown above, as well as Black and Super White.
The Tundra benefits from softer TRD springs that also provide a two-inch lift and a better ride in the rough, while the truck itself rides on 18-inch wheels with Michelin ORP tires. Each truck gains an extra two inches of wheel travel in front and 1.25 inches in back, while a TRD dual exhaust should generate a nicer sound than the trucks's standard V8 engine. Finally, a unique interior with red contrast stitching freshen up the cabin. We wouldn't go so far as to call this a Ford F-150 SVT Raptor fighter - far from it, in fact - but it's a bit more off-road oriented than your average pickup.
