There's nothing like buying a new Toyota! As you drive away from the dealership, that euphoric feeling is almost addictive. What happens, though, when you realize you've bitten off more than you can chew, not with the price of the vehicle itself, but with the total cost of ownership of the vehicle? At Philpott Toyota, we want to ensure each of our customers gets exactly what they want, but also what they need. We would encourage you to consider a couple of things as you decide on which vehicle to purchase.

 

Are you torn between getting an SUV or another type of vehicle? You cannot go wrong with an SUV. Don't believe us? Check out these reasons why an SUV should be your next vehicle purchase.

Getting your tires rotated is as important as getting your oil changed, or any other maintenance that you may have to get done on your vehicle. Everything is riding on your tires (literally). Your tires are the only thing between you and the road.

When Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 24th we all knew that the damage was going was going to be monumental. But, once the rainfall stopped and we all began to survey the damage it was more disastrous than we once thought. With that in mind we can’t be more impressed with how resilient, courageous, and strong Houstonians are.

Here at Philpott Toyota in Nederland, TX we are proud to members of such a great community. We have seen incredible comradery and much of that has been seen within our parent company Sonic Automotive Group.

Being caught unprepared when the weather becomes unmanageable can be a scary situation. If you live near Nederland, Texas, you know that the weather can take a turn for the worse very quickly. When it becomes too harsh to continue on, the only thing to do is to pull over.

Preparing to add a new Toyota to your driveway?

What if you could drive a brand new Toyota model every few years and enjoy that new car smell more often?

It's possible when you lease at Philpott Toyota.

Leasing Explained

• Drive a new vehicle for a few years, return it, and start again with another brand new model
• Stay current with technology and safety features
• Save money (leasing is almost always cheaper than buying)
• Make lower initial and monthly payments
• Only pay back the car's depreciation over the course of the lease

Toyota is doing everything it can to invest in improving, and building new, American facilities. They have recently finished a billion dollar headquarters in Texas as part of its plan to spend ten billion on American investment. The new headquarters will increase efficiency for every Toyota driver, including us in the Nederland, Texas. The new campus is 100 acres, and will take in more than 4000 Toyota employees. Toyota has integrated a lot of new technology into its headquarters, including a lot of eco-friendly innovations.

Safety is hugely important. We probably don't have to tell you that, but we do feel the need to highlight Toyota's dedication to making sure you have peace of mind on the road.

With a Toyota vehicle equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, you get to experience the automaker's dedication to your safety first-hand.
