NEW CAR BUYING GUIDE | THE BUYING PROCESS

Timeline for Buying a Car T

he big day has finally arrived. You have been preapproved for the loan and decided on the perfect car. It won’t be long before you’re on the way home in a vehicle of your dreams, right? Not quite.

The process of purchasing a car can take a while. If you have never purchased a new vehicle, here’s what you should expect from the time you step on the lot.

THE TEST DRIVE

Before getting to the dealership, you should have a few different cars in mind. Be sure to research safety and performance ratings and have a good idea of what it may cost.

After viewing the vehicles you have chosen in person, it’s time to take a test drive.

During this trial period, be sure to travel roadways like the ones on your daily commute. You deserve to know how the vehicle will perform in your everyday life. You should also pay attention to functionality. If the dashboard and onboard controls seem overwhelming, consider another model with fewer features.

CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS

Now that you have decided which vehicle works for your budget and lifestyle, it’s time to make a deal. Negotiating is part of buying a car, so don’t feel like your salesman will be offended if you ask for a better price. When buying a new car, you can take advantage of rebates offered by the manufacturers. With a little

research, you can find out about these discounts and use them as leverage.

Expect your salesman to make several trips to the sales manager’s office before the

deal is finally done. Don’t settle for a price that you will struggle to afford. It’s also important to avoid a decision based strictly on the monthly payment. Consider what you

will pay in the long run.

SIGNING THE PAPERS

Once the deal is done, you will put your wrist to the test.

Be prepared to sign numerous

papers to make the sale legal and complete. Your sales professional will explain the purpose for each signature. Take your time. Be sure you understand what you’re signing.

Employee Pricing for Everyone!

2019 2009 TOYOTA XXXXX AVALON

Attainable Premium, Actualized PRESS RELEASE

BY THE NUMBERS

T

he roads of Avalon, the mystical paradise that inspired Toyota’s flagship nameplate, have likely never seen a mid-premium sedan like this. Safe to say, neither has the North American International Auto Show. Until now.

Underpinned by a Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform, and powered by a fuel-efficient 3.5liter V6 or Toyota Hybrid System (THS II) powertrain, the 2019 Toyota Avalon embodies consumers’ overarching desire for high-caliber, design-centric, technologically-savvy modes of attainable, premium transportation.

To its menu, Avalon mixes a bevy of Toyota-firsts such as standard Apple CarPlay and Dynamic Auxiliary Turn Signals, available authentic

Base price: $35,500 Wheelbase: 113 in.

Length: 195.9 in.

Width: 72.8 in.

Height: 56.5 in.

Motor: 3.5-liter, six-cylinder, double-overhead cam Transmission: Direct Shift 8AT 8-speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission EPA Mileage: 23 city, 32 highway

For its fifth generation, Avalon received an all-encompassing makeover.

For all its added energetic vocalization, Avalon never ceases to deliver a civilized, library-quiet interior, if desired.

Yamaha wood and aluminum cabin accents, and Engine Sound Enhancement.

In addition, drivers will appreciate the standard passive and active safety benefits through Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), as well as athletic handling thanks to its available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), also a Toyota first, that, quite positively, has Avalon out-performing its peers.

Bar, you’ve just been raised.

FLAGSHIP MAKEOVER

For its fifth generation, Avalon received an all-encompassing makeover by Toyota’s U.S.-based design, engineering, and manufacturing entities. Spearheaded

by Chief Engineer Randy Stephens, and Calty President Kevin Hunter, the brain trust masterminded an Avalon that represents multilateral progressiveness — for itself, its diverse group of drivers, and, for Toyota.

The teams minded two keywords throughout their development paradigm: authenticity and exhilaration. Both were applied in every area of Avalon’s sophisticated essence, and throughout the four available grades: the athletic XSE (all-new) and Touring, as well as the more opulent XLE and Limited. Hybrid grades include XLE, Limited, and XSE. Hustle, athleticism, and fuel-efficiency. Each of these riveting traits has improved, in large part, because of two

new TNGA powertrains: a punchy 3.5-liter V6 (2GR-FKS), and, a 2.5-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) with 650-volt electric motor (A25A-FXS) and Continuously-Variable Transmission (CVT). Avalon Hybrid continues to be the only full hybrid vehicle in the segment.

A wealth of Calty signature elements cocoons Avalon’s long, low-slung TNGA musculature. Its expressive looks diligently reflect the mixture of all-encompassing, performance-focused personality, the invigorating driver experience, and a premium, spacious image.

Complementing Avalon’s daring looks is a thrilling drive personality imbued by an array of available sportoriented tools.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF HONDA PILOT

A new front bumper, fascia and headlights hint at the changes underlying the 2019 Honda Pilot. It gets a meaningful update, including standard Honda Sensing on all models.

Pilot Refreshed for 2019

Honda Adds Technology, Style to Capable Three-Row Family Crossover

By Derek Price

W

CARGAZING.COM

ith crossover sales surging, any car manufacturer would be a fool to let its family-hauler lineup go long without a noticeable update.

Part of the Pilot’s upgrade strategy is packing more standard features into various price points. Many of the features are accessed through an 8-inch touch screen on the center stack.

Honda is no fool.

Despite being on the market for just three years, the new-generation Honda Pilot is already getting a significant refresh for 2019. Revised styling, a more refined driving feel and new technology — including, thank goodness, the return of an actual volume knob — add some more appeal to a vehicle that didn’t necessarily need it. America’s appetite for crossover vehicles seems so insatiable that Honda could sell boatloads of Pilots without updating a thing.

Still, Honda was eager to show off what its new threerow baby can do, so it handed me the keys for a day of playing in the dirt, driving on the street and towing a sweet race car around southern California.

My biggest surprise was just how capable a package this is.

Like most buyers, I think of the Pilot as living comfortably in the domain of sippy cups, booster seats and strip-mall parking lots. It certainly does that job well with a brilliantly designed cabin and impressively usable third-row seat.

Honda set up an off-road obstacle course, though, to highlight the Pilot’s wild alter ego over rocks, hills and sand.

Its generous 7.3-inch ground clearance and adept allwheel-drive traction control system made it more of a mountain goat than I expected.

Its unusually versatile allwheel-drive system is key to that capability. It uses an

electronically controlled, hydraulic rear differential to do real torque vectoring — routing power to the front or back, left or right, on demand to whichever wheel has traction at the moment. This is extremely evident with one wheel hanging in the air while the others grapple for traction over sand or loose rocks, but in the real world it’s more likely to help over wet or icy roads.

To drive home the point, the Pilot is available with a decal package that makes it look more like an extreme off-roader.

While it’s based on a carlike unibody platform, it offers some truck-like towing capability of up to 5,000 pounds. I found it easily handled a 3,900-pound towing load with a trailer and Civic Si race car on hilly roads north of Los Angeles, with braking, acceleration and stability all more than competent.

Also noticeable is the update to Honda’s ninespeed automatic transmission, which comes on Touring and Elite trims at the top of the Pilot’s lineup.

Hardware and software changes make it feel smoother and more predictable than before, never hunting for gears or making more shifts than are prudent, which can be a common problem in high-gear-count transmissions.

Honda wonks will immediately notice the styling changes, including a new bumper, front fascia, tail

lights, LED headlights and chrome trim bits.

Really, though, this update is more about content than appearance.

Luddites everywhere will be shouting “hallelujah” now that the old-fashioned, easyto-use volume knob has returned to the Pilot’s center stack. Its new 8-inch touchscreen is simple and quick to respond whether you’re using Apple CarPlay, Android Auto or tuning the satellite radio.

New technology features are extensive, including the HondaLink platform for connecting the car to your smartphone, CabinControl that lets your passengers remotely operate the entertainment system and CabinTalk that lets the driver communicate with back-seat passengers and live out all their subway announcer fantasies.

Its biggest selling point is likely to be the inclusion of Honda Sensing as standard equipment on all trim levels.

This package includes collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control and more. Taken together, they make the Pilot safer and more relaxing to drive on long trips.

Pricing starts at $31,450 for the base LX trim with twowheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission. It tops out at $48,020 for the allwheel-drive Pilot Elite with the nine-speed automatic and monumental list of amenities.

CARGAZING 2019 2009 SILVERADO XXXXX 1500

Bigger but More Agile PRESS RELEASE

BY THE NUMBERS

C

hevrolet introduced the next-generation Silverado in January 2018, exactly 100 years after the brand delivered its first trucks to customers in January 1918.

The all-new Silverado sets the course for the next century of Chevy trucks with the most functional bed of any full-size truck, weighs up to 450 pounds less for increased performance and offers a broad range of trims and engine/ transmission combinations to help each customer find their ideal truck.

“Every truck — including the luxurious High Country — is a work truck with a job to do,” said Tim Herrick, executive chief engineer of Full-Size Trucks. “As such, we set out to create the best tool for the job at hand, one that makes work more productive and more enjoyable, no matter what they call ‘work.’’’

Base price: $34,600 Wheelbase: 126.5 in Length: 210.7 in.

Width: 81.2 in.

Height: 75.7 in.

Motor: 4.3L V-6 VVT DI with Active Fuel Management, 285 hp, 305 lb.-ft. torque Transmission: HydraMatic 6-speed automatic EPA Mileage: 17 city, 23 highway

The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado has a longer bed and is larger but lighter than its predecessors.

ON SIZE

LARGER BED

The bed is the defining trait of every pickup, and bed construction has long been a strength of Chevy Trucks. To improve upon that strength, the 2019 Silverado 1500 bed features best-in-class cargo volume; higher-strength steel floor; and more and stronger tie-

The bed volume is up to 20 percent more than competitors. downs. Silverado will be available with a class-exclusive power up/down tailgate

that can be operated from the key fob, interior button or by hand.

The 2019 Silverado is larger than before, including a wheelbase that is up to 3.9 inches (100 mm) longer and an overall length that is 1.6 inches (41 mm) longer, enabling both more cargo volume and more interior room for all cab lengths.

Remarkably, it’s also lighter, weighing 450 pounds (204 kg) less than today’s truck when comparing crew cab V-8 models. The weight savings comes from extensive

use of mixed materials and advanced manufacturing processes throughout the next-gen truck.

POWERTRAIN

The 2019 Silverado will be available with six engine/ transmission combinations, giving customers more combinations of performance, efficiency and value to best fit their priorities.

This includes new 5.3L and 6.2L V-8s with industry-first Dynamic Fuel Management

that actively shuts off any number of cylinders, in a variety of combinations, depending on immediate needs to optimize fuel economy. The result of this industry-first technology is instant power when called for, and impressive efficiency.

Silverado also will be available with an all-new Duramax 3.0L inline-six turbo-diesel. Chevrolet offers diesel engines in more segments and models than any other brand, including Silverado 1500, Silverado HD and upcoming Silverado medium-duty models.

Both the 3.0L diesel and 6.2L engines are paired with a new Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission as well as start/stop technology to improve fuel economy for optimum performance and efficiency.

NEW CAR BUYING GUIDE | DO YOUR RESEARCH

Get to Know the Car

F

acing buyer’s regret on an investment as large as a new car can be tough to manage. With so much on the line financially, it is important the vehicle you choose performs exactly as expected. That’s why researching a few different options will ensure you made the right decision.

BEFORE THE DEALER

Start your research to discover features that are most important to you. These are some helpful resources which can help answer common questions you may have.

• Insurance Institute for Highway Safety: Here, you can review safety ratings for new vehicles, based on rigorous testing methods.

• Environmental Protection Agency: This group reveals fuel economy for cars and trucks hitting the market.

• Kelley Blue Book: This resource can show you the average price a dealer will pay for the vehicle you are considering and help you negotiate your trade-in value.

AT THE DEALER

After choosing several vehicles to consider, you should go see them in person at the dealership.

Sometimes, it’s best to go after hours or on a weekend to avoid any pressure from a salesperson. Most new cars will have a sticker in the window showcasing the features a vehicle is equipped with along with the cost and fuel economy.

Once the dealership is open, visit the lot and test drive the cars you have researched. It can also be beneficial to record the Vehicle Identification Numbers on the vehicle and research the exact model on a manufacturer’s website. Some automakers will disclose the factory it was built in, the exact warranty and special technologies you may have failed to notice during the test drive.

Understand exactly what you are buying before signing the papers.

It’s not just an auto loan.

IT’S THE RIGHT TRACK TO GET OFF THE BEATEN PATH.

NEW CAR BUYING GUIDE | BUYING TIPS

I

Shop Different Dealerships

f you don’t have your heart set on a certain vehicle manufacturer, you can do yourself a favor by shopping around for a new car.

Viewing inventories at several different dealerships will give you an understanding of average price points for similar cars.

Visiting different dealerships also can reveal unbeatable sales you might have

missed during your research.

While you are inspecting their lots, you also might find that you feel comfortable with a certain salesperson, which makes the experience more enjoyable.

Don’t miss out on the best experience and deal because you didn’t have the patience to shop around.

CHOOSE A BODY STYLE

While you probably have a few vehicles in mind, you can see what automakers offer by choosing a body style, rather than a specific model. Here are a few of the popular styles

you will probably consider.

SUV: These vehicles are gaining in popularity for families who need ample storage.

They are offered in compact or mid-sized options, some even feature third-row seating.

Trucks: Those with towing or hauling needs, a pickup truck makes a great option.

Pickups offer plenty of options featuring gasoline or diesel engines and spacious cabs to fit several passengers.

Cars: A compact option coming in two- or four-door options, new cars typically feature amazing fuel econo-

my and lower costs.

Once you find the body style that works best for you and your family, it’s exciting to compare different manufacturers’ options.

NEGOTIATIONS

Spending time at several dealerships in town gives you an advantage in the negotiation process. When you can explain to your salesperson that there is a similar vehicle down the road with a much lower price tag, they will be more open to discuss discounts.

It’s also a great tool to have

several dealers looking to make a sale. You might be surprised with the incentives they offer, including discounted services, upgraded packages or free details.

STICK TO THE PLAN

It’s easy to get distracted once you get on the lot.

Perhaps you are planning to purchase an inexpensive car but get blown away by a heavy-duty diesel truck.

Stick to the plan and budget you developed when you first began your hunt to avoid becoming stuck in a loan you cannot afford.

NEW CAR BUYING GUIDE | THE CAR OF YOUR DREAMS

Go Custom

the local dealerships and still don’t Ifseeyouthehavecarscoured that checks every mark on your list, you may be interested in ordering a custom car. Years ago, buyers could walk into a dealership and hand pick each feature they wanted in their vehicle; this isn’t typical today.

In the modern world, manufacturers like to package most of their features into different trim levels. You have probably noticed these tags on the rear of your current vehicle, they symbolize enhanced features over different classes of the same model.

WHAT TRIM LEVELS MEAN

A trim level is used to identify special features on a group of vehicles.

Most models have a base option which offers the fewest extras. Many manufacturers then have a series of trim levels which offer more features as they progress.

Each level of trim will offer its own set of unique features, giving buyers many options to find what

they’re looking for without completely customizing their vehicle. If you choose a pre-packaged option with a high-level package, consider the difference in cost between different packages. You can save a considerable amount of money by settling for a trim level that isn’t quite as loaded.

WHY CUSTOMIZE

Buying a new vehicle is an exciting experience but can be disappointing if you feel like you’re not getting exactly what you want. If you’re unfamiliar with custom ordering from a manufacturer, here are some great reasons for why it makes sense.

More color options: Just because the perfect interior or exterior color combination isn’t available at

your local dealership doesn’t mean it’s not possible. Custom ordering provides buyers with incredible options in the color department.

Choose options: If you can’t live without an option that’s not featured in a particular trim level, you can add it during a custom order.

All your own: When buying a new car from a dealership, it’s likely that it has been test driven by other drivers. A custom vehicle will ensure you are the first driver outside of the manufacturer.

WE OFFER DETAILING ON BOATS, RV’S, AND MOTORCYCLES.

DISADVANTAGE OF CUSTOM ORDERING

While you can land the car of your dreams by creating a custom order through the factory, there is the issue of the amount of time it takes before the vehicle is delivered. The automotive experts at Edmunds state it can take up to 12 weeks before it will arrive.

Also, depending on the automaker, they may only accept custom orders during specific times of the year. If you’re in a hurry for a vehicle, custom ordering may not be a plausible situation.

A nine-speed automatic transmission is paired with the new engine, helping the XT4 achieve a Cadillacestimated 30 mpg in highway driving. The vehicle also features the next generation of electronic precision shift, which features an intuitive shifting sequence.

The 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, revealed last month at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, marks an important step in the history of Volkswagen’s best-selling model. The seventh-generation car moves to the award-winning MQB platform, which allowed the design team to redefine the Jetta with more dynamic proportions, a more modern design, and improved interior space compared to the previous generation.

Working with the flexible MQB platform allowed the designers to reshape the body, creating a longer wheelbase, wider track, and bigger wheels. While the larger proportions allow more interior space, a shorter front overhang and fast-sloping rear roofline translate into a coupe-like profile. Dynamic lines and taut surfaces combine with the new silhouette to give Jetta a look that’s at once elegant, yet athletic.
