Why You Should Trade In Your Car vs Selling It Yourself: Looking to sell your vehicle? Trade it In or Sell it to us instead! Before you place that classified ad, read below and see why it actually SAVES you money and time to sell it to Passport instead! Trading A Car Can Save You Money: In many states, you only pay sales tax on the “Price Difference” as opposed to the full selling price when you buy without trading. For example, if you buy a new car for $25,000 and trade-in your old car for $8,000 you will only pay $1,200 in taxes vs $1,500 if you did not trade-in your car. more Trading A Car Helps Protect Your Privacy and Your Safety: In today’s complex society with identity theft and so many other hazards, selling your car yourself can be potentially dangerous. The process of selling a vehicle privately can expose you and your family to identity thieves, fraud, counterfeiters, or possibly carjacking. If you do choose to sell your vehicle yourself, be extremely careful and take the proper precautions to ensure your personal and financial safety. When setting up appointments with potential buyers that you don't know, only schedule meetings when a friend or family member can be there with you, and ALWAYS meet in a well-lit, crowded, public place OTHER than your home. Trading or Selling to a reputable dealership like PASSPORT is simple, easy, and helps protect you and your family. Trading A Car Saves You Time and Effort: Selling a car requires significant effort on your part. In order to sell your used car, you'll have to do things like running and paying for classified ads, taking professional photos of your vehicle, taking and handling phone calls, and allowing complete strangers to test drive your car! Then, of course, you'll have to negotiate for your final price, and most customers need financing, so that adds another layer to the transaction. Trading or Selling your car to Passport Saves You Time, Effort, and Aggravation! Trading A Car Helps You Avoid Costly Last-Minute Car Repairs: If you decide to sell your car, you will need to ensure it is well-maintained and all parts are working. You must also ensure that all recalls are performed and that any special requirements are met for your state. If you trade the vehicle to a reputable dealership like PASSPORT, we will gladly take care of ALL reconditioning and then we assume ALL liability for reselling the vehicle. Making sure your car is mechanically sound and ready for the market only adds extra worry and expense on your part, including fixing brakes, tires, and other pricey items. Trading or Selling your car to Passport gives you peace of mind and helps remove legal complexity and potential legal pitfalls from your life. Trading Or Selling Your Car To Us Lets You Walk Away Hassle and Worry-Free: When you trade-in or sell your car to a PASSPORT dealership, you'll prevent any issues with a dissatisfied customer later on. What happens if the engine light comes on, or if the transmission or brakes go out? If you sell your car privately, the new owner knows where you live and may contact or harass you, or even obtain legal representation and potentially sue you in small claims court. When you trade-in your vehicle or sell it to a Passport dealership, we assume all of the responsibility and you can walk away from the hassle and worry-free. When you add up the potential liabilities and the exposure to your privacy, it just makes sense to protect your privacy and save yourself time, effort, and money and sell or trade your car to a Passport dealership. Contact us today and let us show you how easy it can be to get rid of your old vehicle for a fair, easy price. We will make you a customer for life at Passport Auto Group!

Today we honor all of the great men who have given so much of their lives to lead our Country. We hope that everyone enjoys their Presidents' Day.

We’ve all had close calls behind the wheel. Maybe another driver was to blame, or something distracted you at the wrong time. It happens to almost every driver at one time or another, and it’s why Toyota has made its industry-leading accident avoidance technology standard equipment on almost all its vehicles. Since being announced in 2015, Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) – equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) has become a safety trailblazer, helping pave the way for AEB to become available on vehicles across the industry. In fact, in 2016, Toyota was one of 20 automakers that entered into a voluntary agreement with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) that requires AEB on more than 95% of the vehicles an OEM builds by the fall of 2022. more Toyota didn’t wait that long. As of this fall, 97% of all Toyota vehicles come standard with AEB. There are 18 Toyota models with standard TSS. From the beginning of September 2019 to the end of August in 2020, Toyota built more than 1.8 million vehicles equipped with AEB, more than any other automaker in the U.S. Toyota’s commitment to safety doesn’t stop there. Three Toyota models – Camry, Highlander, and Mirai – will come standard with TSS 2.5+. These new systems include safety technology that assists drivers to prevent additional types of collisions, additional emergency steering assist, and more. We continue to evolve TSS/LSS+ to help advance their capabilities and to lead the industry toward the goal of a world without traffic fatalities. Our focus on advanced technologies is to help cities become spaces where mobility solutions are safe and work in harmony with humans and the surrounding environment.

The minivan is on the move. Enter the all-new 2021 Toyota Sienna: sleek, smart and spacious. Thanks to its get-it-done personality and Toyota’s state-of-the-art hybrid system, the 2021 Sienna combines the thrill of an SUV with the ease and adaptability of van life. It’s hard to narrow down the list of sweet spots, but after taking the challenge, here are six top picks for things to love about the 2021 Sienna. The Sleekest Sienna Sienna drivers know why they bought a minivan. They’re looking for space and flexibility. But let’s also add style. The 2021 Toyota Sienna’s modern new look starts with a front inspired by Japan’s iconic Shinkansen bullet train. With a bold lower grille, sculpted tear-dropped body and integrated spoiler, the new minivan fits in an art gallery, as well as the garage. Cut the Clutter While the exterior is streamlined for peak efficiency, the Sienna’s interior makes the most of its cubic feet. Up front is an all-new bridge console, ergonomically positioned with space beneath to store items such as packages or electronics. Added bonus: the console features edges designed to prevent small items from slipping into narrow spaces. Look forward to less time spent digging between seats for dropped phones, keys or toys. Further de-cluttering of the cabin is achieved with the available Qi wireless charging capacity. Simply place any compatible phone on the docking station to avoid cumbersome cords. more You’ve Got Pull As spacious as the cabin of the Sienna is, it may not always fit quite everything you want to bring along. With a towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds—enough for a small motorboat, a compact travel trailer or several bicycles—the Sienna helps you bring the goods. For even more flexibility, there’s an available 1,500-watt power inverter with up to 120-volts to power up compatible devices big and small. Go for Green Cool and crisp, exterior color Cypress comes standard on the 2021 Toyota Sienna LE, XLE, Limited and Platinum grades, making this a great time to try a new shade. The 2021 Toyota Sienna is also now the Family Green Car of the Year thanks to winning that category in the 2021 Green Car Awards™. With a standard hybrid powertrain across all trims and an array of new tech and amenities, the 2021 Toyota Sienna raises the bar for style, safety, comfort, versatility and fuel efficiency in its segment. A Maximalist Minivan As customers have come to expect, the Sienna comfortably fits seven riders. That number grows to eight with an available split-and-stow third-row center seat. Passengers in XLE, XSE, and Platinum Grade edition middle rows may feel as though they are lounging at home. Available captain’s chairs come equipped with a super-long slide feature and an ottoman to help passengers kick back and relax. If more space is needed, the third row folds down easily, creating more than 75 cubic feet of storage. That’s enough cargo to fit a few extra pieces of luggage with ease. Gaming the System With an EPA-estimated 36 combined mpg rating for the FWD model, Sienna drivers can cruise to their destinations with as few, or as many, breaks as desired. The 10-inch color display lets drivers know the optimal acceleration amount for eco-conscious driving, with a fun, game-like scoring function to test the operator’s touch. The Sienna delivers up to 243 horsepower through the Toyota Hybrid System II, with a noticeable kick at low-speed torque from the twin electric motors working in concert. For a powerful engine, it gives off a lot of quiet, a pleasure for drivers and passengers. For more information on the 2021 Sienna, click here.

What if every driver who ran into trouble had the instinctive reflexes of a professional race car driver and the calculated foresight of a supercomputer to avoid a crash? Researchers at Toyota Research Institute are working with Stanford’s Dynamic Design Lab to make this vision come true. The engineers are conducting research into how to bring together the instincts of professional drivers and automated driving technology. Their goal is to design a new level of active safety technology and share it broadly so that Toyota and other auto manufacturers can deploy it on the road. “Every day, there are deadly vehicle crashes that result from extreme situations where most drivers would need superhuman skills to avoid a collision,” said Gill Pratt, TRI CEO and Chief Scientist at Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC). “The reality is that every driver has vulnerabilities, and to avoid a crash, drivers often need to make maneuvers that are beyond their abilities. Through this project, TRI will learn from some of the most skilled drivers in the world to develop sophisticated control algorithms that amplify human driving abilities and keep people safe. This is the essence of the Toyota Guardian™ approach.” more Every year, car crashes result in nearly 40,000 fatalities in the United States, and about 1.25 million fatalities worldwide. Toyota’s goal is to reduce that number to zero. While most crashes occur in mundane situations, in other situations drivers may need to make maneuvers that take their vehicle close to and, at times, exceed normal limits of handling. When faced with wet or slippery roads for instance, professional drivers may choose to ‘drift’ the car through a turn. “Since 2008, our lab has taken inspiration from human race car drivers in designing algorithms that enable automated vehicles to handle the most challenging emergencies,” said Professor Chris Gerdes of Stanford University’s Dynamic Design Laboratory. “Through this research, we have the opportunity to move these ideas much closer to saving lives on the road.” TRI has supported the Dynamic Design Lab’s research for many years. The current project draws upon Stanford’s published paper, “Opening New Dimensions: Vehicle Motion Planning and Control using Brakes while Drifting,” in which Stanford researchers demonstrated advanced drifting on MARTY, an electrified, automated DeLorean. Stanford’s experimental results produced a proof-of-concept architecture capable of controlling a rear-wheel drive vehicle in a drift using brakes, steering and propulsion. TRI is now applying this architecture to vehicle platforms, including the GR Supra. TRI is also engaging Toyota’s engineering expertise in motorsports and advanced development. Toyota Racing Development (TRD U.S.A., Inc.) in the United States is providing valuable technical and experiential know-how in motorsports and drifting. Separately, TRI is also working with Toyota Motor Corporation’s Vehicle Dynamics Control Team — based in Japan — to apply the drifting architecture for future Toyota vehicles.
