Your car shopping adventures have just begun and you have done research through the internet, asked your friends and family. Now it’s time for you to actually come in to Toyota of Clermont to test drive the vehicle you’ve chosen. We promise that if the one you chose wasn’t for you, you will still leave with a Clermont Toyota that you like! We get it, the convenience of purchasing cars online is pretty tempting because you save loads of time—but something you will never be able to do online is test drive a Clermont Toyota which is a vital part of the car shopping process. It’s important to physically get behind the wheel of your potential vehicle and Toyota of Clermont is here to tell you why! The importance of a test drive You have the opportunity to inspect: When you take the car for a test drive, you can give it a quick inspection. So make sure you check the cabin for stains, odd odors, or damage on the fabrics and trim. You can also check out the exterior for any body damage, check under the hood to make sure everything is functioning well, and listen for any eerie sounds the car could possibly make. Check for comfort: Since you’ll be spending a lot of time in the driver’s seat, you’ll want to make sure that you’re comfortable in the Clermont Toyota you test drive. You’ll want to make sure you can reach the knobs, buttons, and dials that you need access to. In addition, check for blind spots and make sure the backseat has enough space for your passengers, car seats, or booster seats you may install. Check how the Clermont Toyota handles: When you test drive the car, check to see how it handles. Does it follow your commands accurately? For instance does it accelerate when you want it to? How does it feel when you hit the brakes? Is it easy to park? For some people it just takes some getting used to the vehicle’s handles but for others this may be an issue. You still have the chance to explore other options: If you realize that this isn’t the car for you, you still have the opportunity to find the right one. We have a wide selection of new and used cars on our lot that are waiting for you to take a test drive. Looking for compact cars? Try a Toyota Camry or Corolla. Looking into crossovers? Check out the C-HR or RAV4. Want to go bigger? Check out the 4Runner! Your questions will be answered immediately: When you visit Toyota of Clermont in person, you’re able to ask the product specialists more in-depth questions about the car during the test drive. They can explain the answers easier and it’s a lot more effective than an online chat. Are you ready to get behind the wheel? Schedule a test drive with us today at Toyota of Clermont. We’re located at 16851 State Rd 50.

Unfortunately, we’ve all been there. Getting a cracked windshield on your Clermont Toyota car is actually more common than you think.

A small pebble can have the most devastating impact when traveling at such high speeds and there’s nothing to do but deal with the damage. If you’ve cracked your windshield recently, don’t stress! Toyota of Clermont is here to help! So, you got a cracked windshield While super inconvenient and annoying to look at, most drivers are able to ignore an obvious crack or ding in their windshield and we’re here to tell you to not do that. Even the most unnoticeable of cracks and dings can spiderweb and create terrible damage to your windshield that can threaten the structural integrity of your vehicle. Not only could your vehicle be negatively affected long term, but you can get in some legal trouble if you leave a cracked windshield unchecked. A police officer can pull you over, inspect your vehicle, and issue you a citation if your vehicle is deemed unsafe to operate (Florida Statute 316.610). So, if it’s illegal to drive with a cracked windshield in Clermont, but you have a small amount of damage that’s barely noticeable, what are you supposed to do? Luckily, in conjunction with Florida Statute 316.610, there’s a coupling statute that states that damages windshields are to be repaired without a deductible charge. In other words, if you have comprehensive auto insurance (which is required by law in Clermont and Florida as a whole), then your cracked windshield can be repaired free of charge. Next steps Now, the big question, what do you do next? Getting a brand-new crack-free windshield on your Clermont Toyota vehicle is actually a simple and very stress-free process. Start by calling your auto insurance company. They’ll ask you several questions about the extent of the damage and you’ll likely be asked to determine if the size of the ding or crack is more or less than the area of a dollar bill. This is asked to gauge whether or not your cracked windshield can be repaired of if it needs to be completely replaced. They’ll then refer you to the closest trusted auto body shop to your address to have the repair completed. You also have the option to book your repair with a mobile glass company if you’d rather not go to a shop! If you still have questions about how to repair your cracked windshield and how to repair it, no worries! Toyota of Clermont is here to answer your questions and help you every step of the way. Give us a call at (352) 404 – 7000 for more information.

Electric vehicles are the next biggest trend in the automotive industry and Toyota has been making moves to put vehicles into this niche segment of Clermont Toyota cars. While Toyota originally engineered the Prius (the world’s first hybrid vehicle), which includes both gasoline and electric motors, the first true electric vehicle (EV) was a version of the RAV4. In a partnership with Tesla, the Toyota RAV4 EV was an all-electric vehicle that used an auto battery and could achieve a driving range of about 92 miles. Since then, Toyota has engineered various Clermont Toyota vehicles, like the Mirai and hybrid models, but it hasn’t engineered a new EV. But that all might change with a new partnership venture with Panasonic. Toyota and Panasonic aim to create next-generation auto batteries. Toyota of Clermont has the details so far and how this can change future Toyota vehicles. The future is auto batteries What does an automotive giant like Toyota and a tech giant like Panasonic have in common? The answer, auto batteries. Recently announced, Toyota and Panasonic have entered a new partnership with the focus on developing the next generation of prismatic lithium ion batteries, solid-state batteries, and other power packs to be used in future Clermont Toyota cars. The auto batteries will be used in several production Toyota vehicles and may even be sold to other auto manufacturers with production beginning in the early 2020s. Reportedly, Toyota plans to roll out as much as ten electric cars globally by the early 2020s starting with a new subcompact crossover. By 2030, Toyota is aiming to sell 5.5 million Clermont Toyota vehicles by 2030 with a target sale of one million EVs and/or fuel cell vehicles per year. Toyota aims to allocate about $10 billion toward their auto battery project and the development of EVs and other alternate fuel type vehicles. The project will likely focus on efforts to developing solid-state batteries, which are less vulnerable to extreme temperatures and have a better energy capacity when compared to modern EV auto batteries. But, while solid-state Clermont auto batteries provide many added benefits over lithium-ion batteries, they’re still unable to be used in modern vehicles and will likely take a substantial amount of time. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in everything from smartphones to modern electric vehicles. They're inexpensive and easily mass-produced, but they don’t come without their issues. These Clermont Toyota auto batteries use liquid electrolytes to generate heat and power, but this could cause a “runaway” effect which results in fires and rapid decay. In fact, from the time you first drive an all-electric vehicle, the battery will never have as high a range as it originally did. In comes solid state auto batteries. But, because they’re expensive to produce and too large to fit into mass produced Clermont Toyota vehicles, their ultimate development and integration is still a ways away. Toyota’s quest for better auto batteries While the development of better auto batteries is underway, it will likely be some time before you see them in your next vehicle. But that doesn’t mean you can’t shop fuel-efficient and environmentally conscious vehicles from Toyota of Clermont! We’re open seven days a week and located at 16851 State Road 50. Visit us today!

Toyota of Clermont wants to put you behind the wheel As you can see, this Clermont Toyota will have a lot to offer, but where did Toyota get its inspiration for the new limited-edition model? Way back in 1958. That was the first year that the Toyota Land Cruiser was for sale in the U.S. and Toyota drew from that particular model, which was renowned for its durability and off-road prowess. If you remember, the very first model back in 1951 was created to be a 4WD military vehicle.

The world renowned and best-selling Clermont Toyota Corolla can be seen on the roads virtually wherever you drive. This subcompact sedan’s infectious good looks, great fuel economy, and versatility have elevated it to the world’s most popular car and it’s not done yet. The 2020 Toyota Corolla was announced not too long ago with a redesigned exterior and interior on the way. A sporty new look and upgraded technology have us excited for a great start to the 2020 model year (especially with the Clermont Toyota Supra on the way as well). But, before we welcome the newest Toyota Corolla to the dealership, it only seems right to take a look back at how far the world’s most popular car has come. Today, Toyota of Clermont is taking you through the history of the Corolla. Check it out! Big history, little car What began as a subcompact car and eventually became the world’s best-selling car, the Clermont Toyota Corolla began its first generation in 1966. The first model of Corolla sported either a 1.1 L or 1.2 L inline four-cylinder engine and had an MSRP of $1,700. They came most commonly as a two-door model and didn’t make it to the U.S. market until 1968. During the second generation (in 1974) the Corolla ascended to one of the world’s best-selling cars and has retained that title ever since. While “corolla” is a Latin term meaning “tiny crown,” the Clermont Toyota Corolla has shown that it’s truly the king when it comes to sales and popularity. During the Corolla’s third generation, models began to transition from a two-door to a four-door design and sported 1.2 L and 1.6 L inline-four engines. This generation marked Toyota’s greatest period of growth in the United States. The Clermont Toyota Corolla then saw eight subsequent generations of style changes in which the vehicle was re-engineered, re-modeled, and still remained popular throughout it all. The current generation of Corolla has seen the introduction of the stylish Toyota Corolla Hatchback. This take on the Clermont compact Toyota features a new design drawn from the Corolla iM, a 2.0 L Dynamic Force Engine, the new Entune 3.0 infotainment system, and much more. A brand-new Toyota Corolla is coming to Toyota of Clermont soon And now, we welcome the next vehicle in the tiny crown’s lineup, the 2020 Clermont Toyota Corolla! This new take on the beloved compact sedan features an overhauled design (the first since 2014), a 1.8 L 4-cylinder engine with improved horse power and fuel-efficiency, a lower stance, and an all new hybrid model (the first of its kind available in the United States). The 2020 model also brings a new paint color, Celestite Grey Metallic paint color, lowered front seats with new interior trim color options, and a new suite of safety features to the table.   The new 2020 Toyota Corolla is expected to arrive to Toyota of Clermont during spring of this year! If you want to stay updated on the arrival of this best-selling Toyota compact sedan, give Toyota of Clermont a call at (352) 404 – 7000 today.

This week the 2020 Toyota Supra was officially revealed at The Detroit Auto Show, solidifying every internet rumor and leak that we’ve seen over the past few months. The new Toyota Supra did not disappoint. With its exterior design inspired by the concept FT-1 from 2014, a straight six engine under the hood, and a cockpit styled interior it’s got us excited for its arrival at Toyota of Clermont. While its engine reps 335 horsepower and it can reach 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, you can’t help but appreciate the classics. The Toyota Supra wasn’t always the big garner of attention that it is today, and it comes from humble beginnings, before it got its first movie deal! At Toyota of Clermont, we’re reminiscing about the Toyota Supra of yesteryear before the arrival of the awesome new model. Check it out! A brief history of the Clermont Toyota Supra Before the Toyota Supra became the Toyota Supra of legend, it was known as the Toyota Celica Supra. Originally designed as a subset vehicle of the Toyota Celica, the Supra featured a longer and wider body. The Clermont Toyota Supra became its own model in 1986 with the A70 and was then produced for four generations before being discontinued in 2002. The Supra became famous for its Toyota 2000GT inspired straight six engine and sporty engineering that wowed drivers on the street and the race track. But, back in its heyday, the Supra wasn’t perceived as the powerhouse that it is today. In fact, in 1993 the start of the Clermont Supra’s fourth generation was rocky with an overall sale of only 2,901 vehicles, despite this year’s Supra achieving a 70-mph stopping distance record that wasn’t bested until 10 years later. In 1996 the Supra was re-engineered due to a mandatory OBD (On-Board Diagnostic System) II system integration. This drove the cost of this sporty Clermont Toyota to an MSRP of $38,600 and only 852 were sold that year. In 1998 the Supra was discontinued in North America due to declining sales figures, even though the vehicle sported excellent performance specifications and garnered other positive reviews for its interior and technology. Because of new fuel-efficiency standards, production of the Supra was halted indefinitely in 2002 in Japan. How a movie saved a car Arguably the saving grace of the Toyota Supra, The Fast and the Furious movie was released in 2001 and featured a Supra equipped with its now iconic Clermont Toyota 2JZ – GTE engine. The vehicle was used as a street racing car in the movie and showcased the power behind the well-engineered Clermont Toyota sports car. Pretty soon, people began to pay attention to the slept-on Supra. The 2JZ – GTE engine was experimented on by mechanics and gear enthusiasts everywhere and it was soon discovered that the engine was built so well that a driver could achieve over 1,000 horsepower with only a few modifications to the engine itself. What was once forgotten became a legendary 10 second car and the rest is history. If you can’t wait for the arrival of the 2020 Toyota Supra, then shop our inventory of sporty new Toyota vehicles. We’re located at 16851 State Road 50, just off the Florida Turnpike.

If you’ve purchased a Clermont Toyota vehicle recently, you likely ran into the term “depreciation.” While this negative term may not seem too important to the car buying and selling process, vehicle depreciation affects all aspects of the purchasing and trade in processes. This important metric affects the current and resale value of your vehicle and is an inevitable part of vehicle ownership. If you’re unsure as to what this metric means and measures, we’ve got you! Toyota of Clermont is here to help you better understand vehicle depreciation and what that means for your vehicle the purchasing/selling process. Everything you need to know about vehicle depreciation When purchasing a vehicle from a dealership like Toyota of Clermont, depreciation plays a big role in how much money you’ll receive when trading in or selling your car. This term applies to large purchases like cars and houses today, but its historical origins are a bit different. Rail road companies created the term and metric “depreciation” in the 19 th century to reflect a greater profitability. Essentially, a value is assigned to an item and depreciation accounts for its use over time. This smaller value was then counted against the annual income of the railroad company to reflect a larger profit margin until the value of the train is reduced to zero. In today’s world of Clermont Toyota car sales, vehicle depreciation remains a similar metric, but it essentially tracks the loss of value of your car over time. Several factors can play into the increasing of depreciation over time. Here are some of the factors that can affect this metric: Advancing technology With every new model year Clermont Toyota that’s released, the previous model year loses its value due to vehicle depreciation. With new safety technology and comfortable features being added to newer models each year, most older models decrease in resale value. However, some of the more popular older models (i.e. the Toyota FJ Cruiser) will actually accumulate value each year. Additional car buying expenses When buying a new or used Orlando Toyota car, most often forget that additional fees come in conjunction with the sticker price. Unfortunately, when trading your Clermont Toyota vehicle in you won’t be able to make up the expenses for tax, tag, title, and dealer fees (unless you have a classic vehicle that gains value over time). Plus, because your car takes on a new owner when you sign the final paperwork and drive it off the lot, the vehicle depreciation goes up and resale value goes down. Some vehicles aren’t desirable Like all things, Clermont Toyota vehicles go in and out of trends in which some have higher resale values than others. For example, SUVs and trucks are currently selling better than typical passenger cars, like sedans. Ways to mitigate vehicle depreciation Unfortunately, depreciation happens to most vehicles throughout their lifetime and whether or not a vehicle will become a popular classic over time is difficult to predict. However, there are several ways you can lessen the blow from depreciation. To keep your vehicle’s value stable, our Clermont Toyota auto sales experts recommend: Keeping up with routine auto service. Use your vehicle less and keep its odometer reading low. If your budget allows, try purchasing a vehicle with upgraded safety and feature technology. Still have questions about vehicle depreciation?
