Amid the BAD NEWS from Wall Street...

2008-10-09T12:14:00.000-07:00

Amid all of the bad news from Wall Street regarding tightening credit or lack of credit available a local business chimes in. Deery Brothers in West Burlington has been in business since 1909 and has seen many economic cycles and how it has effected the automotive industry in the last 100 years. In 1912 the first loans were available for the consumer to purchase a new vehicle and by 1928 almost 65% of new cars were financed. This has not changed amid the recent financial turmoil on Wall Street according to Brad Deery, president of Deery Brothers in West Burlington. “We have over 20 different lenders available and many have contacted us daily looking for business.” Mr. Deery states. “Many lenders including Toyota Financial Services and Nissan Motor have had record sales and profits in the last couple of years and have ample lending ability for consumers and businesses.” According to Terry Mertens, general manager, most of the finance institutions Deery Brothers works with are continuing to grant loans up to 125% of retail values on new and used vehicles. Which to the consumer that means buying a vehicle with no money down and in some cases being able to trade in a vehicle that they owe more on than the actual value. “Many of these loans are granted to individuals with less than perfect credit at very favorable terms.” Said Mr. Mertens. “With the Federal Reserve again lowering interest rates on October 8th it really will take the pressure off of these lenders. Matter of fact many of the automotive financial branches of the auto manufactures, such as Toyota and Nissan did not even feel pressure from the sub-prime mortgage problems as they are insulated from the mortgage branches.” In light of the problems happening in certain parts of the country it is refreshing being here in the mid-west where we have been somewhat insulated from some the rest of the country. Our unemployment in Iowa was at 4.6% in August well below the national average, and according to Terry Mertens, general manager we are currently need to expand our staff by 40% to meet current demand. With 95.4% of Iowans working Deery Brothers is here to assure them that with sales down in other parts of the country and loans available for almost everyone it truly is a buyers market with savings as high as $12,000 off MSRP or 0% loans available up to 72 months.

The original leads all in hybrid sales.

Toyota has been at the forefront of hybrid technology for over a decade. When the Prius, the anchor of the current Toyota hybrid lineup, was introduced to North America in 2000, some wondered if it would resonate with consumers. It has.

Toyota announced in May that worldwide Prius sales have now topped 1 million with about 1,028,000 units sold as of the end of April. That number continues to grow rapidly and with good reason. The current economic climate coupled with the cost of fuel has made Prius one of Toyota’s best sellers in 2008.

Prius’ EPA fuel rating is the main reason its current popularity is impressive, but some people have really pushed the limits of the Prius to maximize their fuel efficiency. Hypermiler Dan Bryant of Houston managed to eke out 106 miles per gallon from a Prius at the Hybridfest Fair in 2007, ranking him second in the country. Hypermilers are people seeking to optimize fuel economy by modifying their driving habits.

While achieving Bryant’s number is unlikely for the average driver, consider this: In a recent over-the-road test, a hypermiler who drove a Prius from Chicago to New York achieved an incredible 71 miles per gallon. The driver reportedly used 8.8 gallons of gas and did it in 17 hours.

Results like those have consumers craving more hybrid options. Not surprisingly, Toyota plans to boost production of the batteries which are at the heart of the Hybrid Synergy Drive. With the supply of batteries scheduled to dramatically increase in 2009, Toyota hopes to sell 1 million hybrids a year by the early 2010’s.

Think that goal seems a bit far fetched? Prius sales for 2008 were already approaching 80,000 units by the end of May with dealers unable to keep the eco-friendly car on the lot. With Toyota Hybrids being sold in more than 40 countries and the increasing popularity of Camry and Highlander Hybrid editions, Toyota believes their goal is well within reach. Toyota currently leads the world’s automakers with total hybrid sales of more than 1.5 million to date.

To learn more about Toyota Hybrids and get some tips on how to maximize your fuel efficiency, check out the Hybrid Tour of Texas featuring Bryant and Michael Garfield, “The High Tech Texan.” Garfield and Bryant tour five Texas cities and demonstrate driving techniques to increase MPG as well as the fuel efficiency of the Toyota Prius. They travel to Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston.

Garfield drives a Prius in a normal driving fashion. Bryant drives the same route exercising techniques to maximize fuel economy. Drive times and gas mileage are announced at each stop

Back-To-School - Kids in the Back Seat!

2008-08-15T13:47:00.000-07:00

IT’S A FACT: KIDS ARE SAFER IN BACK!

Traffic crashes are a leading killer of kids. Remember to buckle up on every ride, and make sure kids 12 and under always ride properly restrained in a back seat. It’s the safer seat – at least 30 percent safer than the front seat.
Children 12 and under are safer riding properly restrained in a rear seat, whether or not your vehicle has an air bag.

Learn the law: The NSC KidsInBack.org website is a resource for parents, caregivers, law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and educators to provide the most up-to-date information about the importance of children riding in the back seat.
