2012 Toyota Prius Plug-in Advanced

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

 

This is a Quite 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 drivers 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.

 

In California this car has very special perks of being one of only 40,000 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. Or in the case of Attorneys that bill clients' at $$$ per hour. This car can pay for itself at full price in weeks or months. Lawyers save big because they don't need to bring along a law clerk to drive in the HOV Lanes traveling to court or between home & office.

Act Now!!! the Government is only allowed to authorize 40,000 cars with green permits. as of now less than 15,000 spots remain statewide so those will likely be gone within weeks or months at most. Not for you to worry because this is one that's already authorized  so you can buy this car and guarantee yourself the right to bypass all that traffic starting right now.

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

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.

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

Toyota finds 10% MPG improvement in hybrid PCU

Wed, May 21 2014

Keeping up its from-all-angles approach to efficiency, Toyota has found yet another way to eke out up to ten percent more precious MPGs in its hybrid vehicles, this time electronically. The automaker has announced the development of new silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors for use in power control units, which it will begin testing on Japanese roads within the next year. The PCU using the silicon carbide compound offers less electrical resistance, which improves efficiency when passing current between the battery and electric motor. It also loses less power after shutting off, and can operate at a higher frequency. The net power loss of the new PCU is just one-tenth of the current silicone-only version (the latter accounting for 20 percent of total electrical power loss in today's hybrids). The result, so far, is a claimed five-percent improvement in fuel economy in test vehicles, with the potential of ten percent by the time the new SiC power semiconductor comes to market. Additionally, the carbide wafers allow for smaller a power module, coil and capacitor, thus allowing the entire PCU to be 80 percent smaller (see the side-by-side comparison in the accompanying photo, which you can click to enlarge). We've got a while to wait before we start to see the carbide technology to start making a real-world impact. Toyota aims to begin using the SiC units in 2020. By then, with improvements in the company's other key efficiency factors - engine technology and aerodynamics - cars like the Prius will likely see significant gains in fuel economy. Read more in the press release below. Toyota Develops 'Diamond-like' Computer Chips to Boost Hybrid Mileage May 20, 2014 Toyota City, Japan – Toyota is using one of the hardest materials in nature after diamonds to develop a semiconductor chip it hopes will improve the fuel efficiency of its hybrids, such as the Prius, by as much at 10 percent. The company and its partners announced today that they have developed a silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor for use in automotive power control units. Toyota plans to begin test-driving vehicles with the technology on public roads in Japan within a year. The chips, made from carbide - one of the hardest materials in nature, theoretically have superior characteristics such as one-tenth the electrical power loss and 10 times the drive frequency. Toyota said the chips would also allow it to reduce the size of current automotive power control units by 80 percent.

Best 3rd row SUVs of 2022

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

119K Toyota Avalon sedans recalled over airbag woes

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

Toyota has issued a voluntary safety recall for 119,000 2003-2004 Avalon models because in some cases the airbags could inadvertently deploy.
The automaker says that circuits within the airbag control module could be damaged by electrical noise, which could cause the front airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners to activate. Dealers are going to repair cars by adding an electrical noise filter to the module. Owners will be notified by first class mail.
Toyota Public Affairs Manager Cindy Knight told Autoblog that there was one reported injury caused by the sudden deployment, but there have been no accidents or crashes. The company is currently preparing the parts for dealers now, and the component takes 90 minutes to two hours to install. "We don't believe there are any other affected models," said Knight.
