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 March 28 2014 only 1,821 spots out of 40k remain statewide. Those remaining spots are reserved for pending applications sitting in piles in the mailroom up in Sacramento DMV. I am projecting that California will formally announce the green stickers are sold out in the next couple Weeks.

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.

2019 Toyota Sienna AWD vs 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid | New meets old

Thu, Mar 21 2019

The Toyota Sienna has always been an inconspicuous van. They're out there, there's a lot of them and they're huge, but they blend in with darn near everything. Perhaps Toyota noticed that a little while ago and slapped on the slightly garish grille/not a grille plastic thing in the front bumper, but it still doesn't really stand out. On the other hand, our long-term Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, which is a great deal newer than the Sienna, has slick styling that gets noticed. Toyota hasn't properly redesigned the Sienna since the 2011 model year, and it shows on every front. Despite its many shortcomings, there are still some valid arguments for going with the dinosaur. Ride and handling Of all the reasons to choose a Sienna over the much newer competition, available all-wheel drive has to be the main one. My tester was so equipped, and I got a chance to test it out in both snow and ice. Obviously, the first thing I did in powder was see if the rear end would break loose. I can confirm that with traction control off, the Sienna will slide around a little bit. You won't be doing any sick drifts, but it's undoubtedly more fun than our Pacifica. The Chrysler is fitted with Nokian Hakkapelitta winter tires. As you might guess, this means that braking and grip around corners is better than the Sienna in snow. If the Sienna were to ditch its slippery all-seasons for a proper set of winters, it would be running circles around the Pacifica. Still, I drove our Pacifica through a lake effect blizzard in Buffalo and it never blinked from lack of traction with multiple inches of snow on the ground. Some folks are going to want the assurance of all-wheel drive, and the Sienna will offer it, but don't make it your only option. All-wheel drive might help you get going, but winter tires are there to save the day when sledding gets tough. What impressed most about the Sienna was its ride quality and composure. This van earned its road warrior status on my drive to the Chicago Auto Show from Detroit. The long highway trek was handled without issue by the big minivan chassis. Bumps and road imperfections were soaked up well. Noise wasn't much of an issue either, something minivans can struggle with given the massive amount of space in the cabin ripe for vibrations and rattles. However, an uncomfortable seat led to some soreness after over four hours in the saddle. No matter how I adjusted the lumbar, it didn't seem to take to my 5'10" slim frame.

Recharge Wrap-up: Japan supports hydrogen, Fools against fuel cells, BlueIndy controversy

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Japan hopes to expand the use of hydrogen energy by subsidizing fuel cell vehicles, according to The Japan News. The trade ministry plans to include the subsidies in its 2015 budget to coincide with the expected launch of Toyota's Fuel Cell Vehicle and the Honda FCEV hydrogen car. By jump-starting purchases of hydrogen cars, Japan hopes that innovation and mass-production will get a boost and the cost of fuel cell vehicles will be competitive with gasoline-powered models by the year 2025. Japan plans to have 100 hydrogen fueling locations operating by March 2016, and wants to halve the cost of building those stations by 2020. The amount of the subsidies has not yet been set. Investing website The Motley Fool isn't quite as optimistic as Japan about hydrogen cars, and is instead bullish about Tesla Motors. The Fool points to Tesla's strong stock performance, and predicts future growth will come from more car models in the future - starting with the Model X - as well as the company's proposed Gigafactory for manufacturing batteries. If Tesla's charging technology continues to catch on, that only improves its financial prospects. The article has some harsh words, however, for hydrogen: "Fuel cells are an inferior automotive technology and for fundamental efficiency, cost, and infrastructure reasons always will be mere compliance gimmicks." Yeesh. As part of a program to build charging stations for the Indianapolis EV carsharing service BlueIndy, utility company Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL) wants to raise its electricity rates an average of 44 cents a month per residential customer to help pay for its share of the project. State consumer advocacy agency Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor and consumer watchdog group Citizens Action Coalition oppose the plan, according to Greenfield, Indiana's Daily Reporter. The BlueIndy program, which is a partnership between the city of Indianapolis and battery manufacturer Bollore Group, will provide up to 500 cars for rent at 25 charging sites around the city. Those who oppose the rate hike call IPL a monopoly and say the amount of the increase is not allowed under state law and that the program wouldn't benefit working class and low-income citizens. A hearing regarding IPL's proposal is scheduled for July 23. A Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV will run the 2014 Asia Cross Country Rally, Hybrid Cars reports. The rally covers 1,367 miles of woods, swamps and mountains from Thailand to Cambodia.

Old Toyota Camry Hybrid batteries find new life in Yellowstone

Fri, Jun 6 2014

Beginning this fall, used hybrid batteries that would otherwise be recycled will get a second life in Yellowstone National Park. 208 nickel-metal hydride batteries are being retired from the Toyota Camry Hybrids they once helped power and will become part of an off-the-grid energy system at Yellowstone's remote Lamar Buffalo Ranch field campus. The Lamar campus provides field seminars and other education and research in the northeastern corner of the park. The energy stored in the battery packs will come from solar panels and micro-hydro turbines. The total storage capacity of the batteries is 85 kWh, which is sufficient to provide plenty of emissions-free power to the five buildings at the field campus. Toyota says this program essentially doubles the life of the batteries that are no longer suitable for driving. It's great to see the batteries get another life cycle before recycling, especially in a place where wild animals easily outnumbers the cars. The battery project is part of a larger partnership between Toyota and Yellowstone. Toyota has previously donated a RAV4 and $50,000 to support sustainability projects at the park. In addition to the energy system being implemented at the Lamar Buffalo Ranch, Toyota has taken part in similar energy projects. Beginning last year, Toyota dealers in Japan have been using hybrid batteries for power storage. Also, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama is testing a system to use hybrid batteries to power operations and for emergency backup power. Learn more in the press release from Toyota below. Buffalo and Bears and Batteries – Oh My! Toyota Brings Power to Yellowstone National Park June 04, 2014 Yellowstone...Where the Deer and the Antelope and the Prius Play Torrance, Calif. (June 4, 2014) – The nation's oldest National Park is ready for some new power. Toyota Camry hybrid batteries will soon power the Lamar Buffalo Ranch field campus in Yellowstone National Park. It's a new lease on life for the batteries and new, zero emission, energy option for the Park. Now that's a "bear-able" solution! The stationary distributed energy system will feature 208 used Camry Hybrid nickel-metal hydride battery packs and a total storage capacity of 85 kWh, more than enough pluck to power the five buildings on the Ranch field campus.
