However, you can take some stress out of the experience yourself by prepping ahead of time - especially when it comes to the cost. Check out these 4 things we advise you to budget for BEFORE you shop our Clermont used cars. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> Toyota of Clermont talks budgeting for a new ride #1: Monthly payment. How much are you comfortable with when it comes to monthly payment? It's important to consider overall price, of course, but monthly payment will factor in financing. If you pay for your car in cash then this obviously isn't a concern, but if you're going to finance your new ride you should think about it. Luckily, our skilled sales specialists and the fact that we work with multiple lenders means you'll be able to find the perfect finance rate so your budget doesn't take a hit. #2: Insurance. It's illegal to drive without car insurance, not to mention irresponsible and dangerous. You're required to have insurance to get behind the wheel of your new ride so look into policies before you shop to ensure you can afford the proper coverage for your vehicle - remember, you can pay monthly or pay a few times a year, so pick whichever is best for your budget. #3: Routine maintenance. How much will it cost to get routine maintenance on your ride? We're talking things like oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, battery service, and fluid checks to ensure your car has the tools it needs to give you the best performance possible. Some cars are more expensive than others to maintain, so make sure you have a general idea of how much it's going to cost you annually to keep your car up and running. #4: Fuel costs. How fuel efficient is your new ride? Remember, some cars can be costly to fuel up on a weekly basis. Get an idea of how much your weekly fuel costs are going to be based on the car's fuel efficiency and the typical number of miles you travel. #5: Major repairs. As cars get older, they tend to need service and repairs that can be more expensive than typical routine maintenance. Factor in things like tune-ups, timing belt replacements, etc. and get an estimate of what you may have to shell out to keep your ride up and running for another year before you buy. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> Get all of your used car questions answered today!

Deodorizing your car tips from Toyota of Clermont

Deodorizing your car: a how to guide from Toyota of Clermont

There’s nothing more annoying to you and your passengers than sitting in the driver’s seat of your car and smelling something that’s a little on the sour or smelly side. While interior car smells are largely harmless to Clermont Toyota drivers, they can get pretty irritating over time. If your nose is picking up on something a little odd in your vehicle, don’t panic and take it to the wash! Deodorizing your car is easy and with a little elbow grease and some investigative work, you can get your car smelling like you just drove it off the lot. Check out this guide from Toyota of Clermont and get your car smelling fresh in no time! Step 1) Investigate for the source of the smell. If you’ve started to notice a smell in your car interior there’s likely a source of it. Eating more frequently in your Clermont Toyota vehicle can lead to spills and there could always be a lost fry or two between your seats. Keeping your clothes in your car can also be a cause of smells in your car’s interior. To begin deodorizing your car, find the source of the smell. Step 2) Throw away all trash. Trash can be an obvious source of the smell and if you have a lot in your door pockets or under the seats, it’s time to start cleaning. Get a trash bag and remove items like food wrappers, paper, gum wrappers, water bottles, and anything else that may be causing the smell. Step 3) Vacuum the interior. Now that you’ve taken care of the larger pieces of trash, it’s time to break out the good old vacuum. To deodorize your car effectively, make sure to deep vacuum your floor mats, seats, and Clermont Toyota car carpets. Step 4) Use carpet stain remover. Spill stains in carpet are a likely source for smells that require a little more elbow grease to get rid of. Before using stain remover to deodorize your car, make sure to test it on a small stain area and dilute it with water. Use this on several stain spots in your vehicle to not only look nice but smell nice as well. Step 5) Wipe-down all other surface. Your dashboard and door touchpoints can collect dust over time that could contribute to your vehicle’s odor. Use surface specific cleaner and wipe down all surfaces to deodorize your car and give your interior a new and clean shine. Step 6) Use various odor absorbing materials. If the odor in your Clermont Toyota car persists after applying these various cleaning methods, it’s time to get creative. Use substances like AC cleaner, baking soda, dryer sheets, pet deodorizer, white vinegar, and more to deodorize your car. Still can’t get that pesky smell out of your car? Not to worry, Toyota of Clermont has your back! Give us a call at (352) 404 - 7000 and our expert auto service staff will be happy to help you out!

Versatile new 2019 Toyota Prius gets all-wheel drive option

The Clermont Toyota Prius has always been a popular option for drivers who want something sleek, technology-driven, and fuel-efficient, not to mention incredibly eco-friendly. However, its curb appeal is being taken to a whole new level for the 2019 model year - it will now feature two models with all-wheel drive, giving it a versatility that it's never offered before. Taking on slick or snowy roads will be easier than ever from behind the wheel of this new Toyota hybrid, and Toyota of Clermont has the details on what it will be showcasing for the brand new model year. The 2019 Toyota Prius will be more versatile than ever Before we talk about style and technology, let's talk about performance - specifically, all-wheel drive.

Here are some more performance highlights: A new multi-link rear suspension system and lower center of gravity for increased handling and sportier maneuvering A new Nickel-Metal Hydride battery that takes up less space (it fits under a rear seat) and can handle cold weather like a champ Seating for 5 thanks to 65.5 cubic feet of interior space and 60:40 split rear seats, plus new roof racks with cargo crossbars so you can easily carry bikes, a luggage rack, a canoe, and more Now let's talk about everything else the 2019 Toyota Prius will have to offer when it finally gets to Toyota of Clermont - here are some of the details: Two new paint colors - Supersonic Red and Electric Storm Blue - and a new 15" alloy wheel design A new trim-level system - now the 2019 Toyota Prius will come in L Eco, LE, XLE, and Limited.

car maintenance issues

Are you making these common car maintenance mistakes?

Do you know your way around under the hood of your car? You don't need to be an expert - that's what our Toyota of Clermont service techs are here for. However, it does help to have a basic knowledge of how things work so you can perform easy at-home car maintenance when necessary. DIY car care between service appointments can ensure your car stays in top shape and offers you the best performance possible. We're here to tell you about some common car maintenance mistakes that a lot of drivers make but you don't have to. Not checking oil. If you get routine oil changes you're already ahead of the game, but it's also important to check your oil in between changes. Work this into your car maintenance routine - just check the oil levels on the dipstick and ensure the oil is the right color at least once a month. (Spoiler alert: it should be a caramel hue and the level should fall in between the two tic marks on the dipstick.) U sing the wrong cleaning products. It's great to detail your car regularly but using the wrong cleaning products can do more harm than good. You should use special car soap - not dish soap - when washing the exterior, as dish soap can strip protective qualities off the paint and leave you susceptible to paint damage. Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners like Windex on the windows and windshields, as these can damage tint and also keep your windshields from defrosting properly. Our Toyota of Clermont parts store can help you find the products you need for safe and efficient car detailing. Not checking tire pressure. You need routine tire rotations and wheel alignments, but you also need to check your tire pressure in between car maintenance appointments. Changes in the weather and wear and tear on your tires can make the pressure levels drop, which can ruin your fuel efficiency, lower traction, and put you at risk for damage and a blowout. Check your tire pressure every few weeks to ensure it's where it needs to be. Ignoring the check engine light. Listen, your check engine light comes on for a reason. It could be as simple as your gas cap not being tightened or something more serious, but the longer you let it go, the more costly and serious the issues can get. Bite the bullet and get your car checked by our Clermont Toyota service techs. Neglecting your wiper blades. Your wipers ensure that you have a clear field of vision even in the worst of weather. The blades to be replaced every 6-12 months depending on wear and tear, so don't neglect them. Signs you need new blades include streaking, squeaking, or smearing water around instead of clearing it. Have questions? Need help with car maintenance? Call Toyota of Clermont today. Our techs are here 7 days a week for your convenience at (352) 404-7001.

Toyota of Clermont tips

Which car anti-theft device is best for your ride?

When it comes to protecting your vehicle, you probably know the basics. Look for a car that has an anti-theft system in it, park in well-lit areas with lots of foot traffic (and near a parking attendant or camera is there is one), and make sure you lock up tight when you leave. You also know not to store a spare key on the exterior of your car, and to keep valuables and electronics out of sight so thieves aren't even more tempted to break into your Clermont Toyota. Learn how to protect your ride with car anti-theft devices However, did you know there's an array car anti-theft devices that can take your security to a whole new level? Here are 5 options you may not have considered yet - and don't forget, Toyota of Clermont can help you track them down through our Toyota parts store. #1: Kill switch A kill switch probably isn't something you can install on your own, as it works against your car's fuel pump or electrical system to prevent the car from starting when a thief gets behind the wheel. It's typically installed in a nondescript place where it's difficult for the thief to find it, and you'll need a mechanic to get it up and running. However, when in place it can deactivate the fuel pump or prevent the flow of electricity to your car's components, ensuring the thief is going nowhere fast. #2: Steering wheel lock A steering wheel lock can't prevent a thief from getting into your Clermont Toyota, but this car anti-theft device can prevent them from going anywhere. It hooks up to your vehicle's steering wheel and keeps it from turning so your car is virtually impossible to drive. <span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span> #3: GPS locator A GPS locator, like a steering wheel lock, won't prevent your car from being broken into. However, if it is stolen and removed from its parking spot, a GPS locator can track it to its next destination. These trackers are installed in a hidden spot in the car and registered with local law enforcement so your car can be found should it be stolen. #4: Tire lock or boot A tire lock or a boot can be a big pain if you get one put on your car for parking in the wrong area. The same concept applies to thieves. A tire lock prevents the tire from turning, so the car isn't getting very far. If you're going to be out of town or leaving your car parked and unattended for a while, this car anti-theft device is a great way to keep your ride in safe hands. #5: Baby monitor It may sound silly, but a baby monitor can actually service as a car anti-theft device! Stick it on the dash and you automatically have video and audio provided to you if someone breaks into your Clermont Toyota. On top of that, just the sight of a monitor can often deter thieves from breaking in in the first place. Toyota of Clermont can help you find the right protection for your ride Have questions or want to order a car anti-theft device? Stop by Toyota of Clermont's parts store at 16851 State Road 50, just off the Florida Turnpike!

Say hi to the 2020 Toyota Corolla!

Everyone’s favorite Toyota compact sedan sported impressive looks for the 2019 model year and even got a hatchback version. All in all, 2018 and 2019 have been kind to the Toyota Corolla. But, 2019 is old news and it’s time to make room for the 2020 models. New models like the 2020 Toyota Supra have garnered praise from motorists and we expect the 12 th generation Toyota Corolla will do the same for the new model year. While we have to wait for the official release on Thursday, November 15 th, Toyota of Clermont is here with some initial details to get excited about! New Toyota compact sedan on the way The Clermont Toyota Corolla is a best seller and favorite among commuters for its dependability, fuel-efficiency, and spacious feel. For the 2019 model year, the Toyota compact sedan sported a handful of aesthetic improvements, but not an overall redesign. However, with the success and praise of the 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback, the Toyota Corolla sedan is likely due for a redesign for its 12 th generation. Via Twitter, Toyota teased the new Toyota compact sedan with a photo and the caption, “the world’s most popular car is about to get greater than ever.” The teaser photo looks promising with a newly redesigned front grille, headlights, and daytime running lights. Because of the massive success of the 2019 Clermont Toyota Corolla Hatchback, it’s likely that the new Corolla Sedan will draw inspiration in both body design and engineering from its new sister car. Unfortunately, no features or designs have been officially confirmed. But we can assume that the Clermont Toyota Corolla will likely be engineered to resemble the hatchback. Some features rumored to be included on this Toyota compact sedan are: A 2.0L inline-four engine that sports 168 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. This is a drift away from the Corolla sedan’s previous 4-cylinder engine. An aggressive and sporty front end resembling the Clermont Toyota Corolla Hatchback. Better fuel efficiency with an estimated 36 combined mpg. Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 with cyclist and road sign detection. New Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa compatibility.
