The holidays are in full swing and Christmas is just around the corner.  You probably have a trip or two planned to visit family over this holiday season.  Whether you are traveling across the state or just across town, there are some very important safety concerns to keep in mind.  One of these very real concerns includes the danger of drunk drivers.  David Strickland, administrator for the NHTSA comments on the upcoming travel season saying, “Ultimately, personal responsibility is critical to improving roadway safety and we urge all motorists to be responsible this holiday season and never, ever drive drunk.” The NHTSA isn’t just talking about awareness, they have just kicked off a campaign for this year’s “winter holiday enforcement crackdown.”  Backed by more than $7 million in advertising, the NHTSA hopes to bring a heightened sense of awareness to this very real and tragic issue during the Christmas season in a campaign called “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.”  MADD also contribu

In the last article we gave you some helpful fuel saving tips for your holiday travels.  The first two tips given in the previous article are the most fuel saving tips you can take into consideration, however there are a few other tips that will help you save money that are worth the time and effort of carrying out. After extensive testing performed by Edmunds.com, it was concluded that simply using your cruise control whenever possible can save you up to 14 percent!  If you car, truck, SUV or minivan is equipped with cruise control then use it whenever you can to avoid sudden and unnecessary accelerations.  Cruise control helps you to maintain consistency on the pedal and avoid “nervous surging.”  You pay more attention to the bigger picture down the road rather than just reacting to every little thing that happens in the moment.

Buyers Less Likely to Pay New Car Prices

For many dealerships across the nation it has become quite difficult to stock the lot. Due to the high demand for used cars, these inventories may be a bit lighter than usual. In addition, many manufacturers have been manufacturing new cars more on an as needed basis. As a result, dealerships look a bit light in this area of inventory as well. Even though your local dealerships may look like they have light inventory it is actually the perfect time to purchase a used car. It is also a great time to trade in your used car, as many dealers are willing to pay top dollar for trade- in’s in order to beef up their used car inventory. It seems many dealerships are still trying to stock their lots with used cars. You will find the most affordable used Toyota cars at the Weiss Toyota dealership in Saint Louis MO. Many dealers, however, are having trouble keeping used cars on the lot. Buyers are demanding affordable pricing and are less willing to pay full price for a brand new car. Buyers are m

When it comes to car buying, everyone is looking for the best deal. However, sometimes the best deal doesn't necessarily mean the lowest sticker price. There are many other factors to consider when trying to get a great deal on a vehicle purchase. You will need to take into consideration the sticker price, of course, the cost of maintenance and repairs, the fuel efficiency, the cost of insurance, and the vehicle’s ability to retain its value. While these are important points to consider, don’t leave out the fact that the car must feel comfortable to you as well. The Toyota Motor Corporation has made it fairly easy for buyers to find a good deal when they choose to shop at a Toyota dealer. All the Toyota cars Saint Louis are widely known for their affordability, their fuel efficiency, their low cost of ownership and their ability to retain their value well.

Moving Forward with Toyota

The Toyota Motor Corporation has been in a constant state of recovery following the devastating earthquake and tsunami events in Japan. The disasters rocked the country and forced Toyota to begin rebuilding immediately. They originally expected to be at 100 percent recovery in production by the winter of this year. However, in true Toyota fashion, they came in ahead of schedule. Many of the American made vehicles are back to 100 percent production, able to get all the parts necessary for development from Japan. As a result, it is expected that the month of October will be a lucrative month for the brand. Wholesale orders for the Toyota Motor Corporation are back to normal and business is finally moving in a completely positive direction. Many of the new Toyota cars St. Louis and trucks, which were difficult to acquire, will now be readily available at your local Toyota dealership. Toyota was able to achieve the recovery without having to raise the prices on their vehicles. When you vis

Your Certified Toyota Will Always Run Efficiently

When it comes to fuel mileage and fuel economy, most drivers would like to think they are getting every last ounce of efficiency effort out of their vehicle. However, it just so happens that a fair amount of a vehicle’s fuel efficiency is left up to the driver. Certain driving habits can and will affect your efficiency. However, what some consider to be helping their fuel efficiency may not be affecting their efficiency at all. It can be difficult to know, without a little research, just which factors are contributing to your fuel efficiency. The Toyota Motor Corporation is well known for their ability to develop some of the most fuel efficient models on the market. In fact, many of the pre owned certified Toyota cars, trucks, and hybrids, as well as used Toyota cars are far more efficient than some newer models. While many believe that as a vehicle ages it will naturally lose its fuel efficiency capabilities. However, this is simply not true. If a vehicle does lose fuel efficiency i

Toyota Cars Perfect for Older Drivers

As we age our priorities of vehicle features may begin to shift. Typically we begin looking for vehicles which provide ample comfort while being a wise investment of money. It becomes less about how a vehicle looks and more about a vehicle’s capabilities. With age, our needs change as well. So begins the search for the perfect vehicle. While most drivers are looking for a great deal, many of them refuse to let go of the fact that a vehicle must be able to achieve a certain level of power, no matter what the effect on efficiency seems to be. However, later on in life, the tables turn, and it is easy to give up a little bit of vehicle power for even more efficiency. Those drivers looking for highly efficient vehicles should seriously consider Toyota cars. For instance, a used or new Toyota Camry car has been known for decades, to be able to achieve a lofty fuel efficiency goal. Just the same are several other new and used Toyota cars Saint Louis MO. In fact, all Toyota cars are known
