MyFord® Mobile: Enables access via smartphone or Web-based interface to perform key tasks, such as monitoring a vehicle’s state of charge and current range or locating charge stations and planning routes to find them

http://www.uftringautomall.com

Eco cruise: Saves vehicle energy by relaxing acceleration compared to standard cruise control

EV mode button: Conveniently mounted on the console to the right of the shifter – allows a driver to switch vehicle operation between three modes: all-electric, normal hybrid operation and conserve battery power for later use

Regenerative braking is capable of capturing and reusing more than 90 percent of the braking energy normally lost during the braking process

Hybrid transmission, designed by Ford engineers in-house, is capable of operating at high speeds and in a smooth, fuel-efficient manner at the same time

Advanced lithium-ion batteries used in Ford’s electrified vehicle lineup – covered by an eight-year/100,000-mile component limited warranty – are smaller and lighter than nickel-metal-hybrid batteries used in previous-generation hybrids

Our First Car!

Sorry I've been keeping you in suspense but I didn't want to share our exciting news until we got all the paperwork finalized. From the title of this blog you probably guessed we got the car! It definitely took some patience to get there-it took a week for financing to get back to us! But we did it!
We got the call April 9 from our salesman Chris Rocke that Eddie (AMAZING finance guy at Uftring Nissan) had worked out a deal with Nissan to finance us as recent college grads. This gave us a great rate (5.89%) even though we don't have the most established credit history other than credit cards. Getting approved was the big moment for us. I was ready to run over to Nissan and sign all the paperwork that day but my fiance was a little more weary. He was concerned we hadn't looked enough and that the car might be a lemon. He tends to over-think things more than I do so he wanted to tell Chris we'd wait until Monday to make our decision so we could do more research....Men....
Well Monday came around and Jacob had done his research. The Sentra was good to go. We met Eddie at the store to sign a stack of paperwork (I'm not over exaggerating) that would finally make us the owners of our very first car together! We signed papers from Nissan and Uftring and the state and even Indiana (?) signing away that we knew what we were getting ourselves into and that we would get insurance in case we got ourselves into something bad. (Get quotes online. It takes fifteen minutes and you can print off proof of insurance right then).
And there it was. The car was ours. They pulled it out front for us. It was a nice surprise to have the interior and exterior completely cleaned by the dealership. They even put on brand new tires for us and filled them with Nitrogen! Chris handed us the keys-here was our car.
Now you think this would be the end of our story but apparently you have to wait for your lender to send you some paperwork once the financing has officially gone through. By April 19 (one week later) we hadn't received anything but got a call from Eddie. I thought this was bad news but apparently he had talked with Nissan and negotiated an even better deal on our financing. We are now only paying 3.99% interest! We had to go in an sign some more paperwork of course (we got another car wash out of this trip though so that was a bonus) but this is going to save us almost $1000 in interest-Thanks Eddie!
Yesterday we received the notice from Nissan. Everything has gone through and the car is Officially Officially ours. I've been really happy with the Sentra-it gets great gas mileage and drives smooth and the smart key is awesome (I can start it and unlock it with the touch of a button!). We still have two years of warranties on it so we don't have to worry too much about maintenance and our payments don't start until the end of next month.
This has been quite a different experience than I thought it would be. I had really thought there would be a lot more stress and buyer's remorse, but so far Jacob and I are incredibly happy. We want to thank Uftring Nissan for taking such good care of us and thank you for being a part of our experience.

Welcome to the Uftring Family!

Check out their NEW website!

We are excited to announce our newest location – Uftring Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in North Pekin. Negotiations with Joe O’Brien to purchase the former O’Brien Dodge Chrysler Jeep of North Pekin concluded on February 12th.

The return of the Jeep franchise is especially exciting for us, as we were long known for our Jeep sales and service expertise. The former Uftring Jeep serviced and sold more Jeep vehicles than any dealership in the area and was popular with Jeep enthusiasts throughout Central Illinois. We are really looking forward to getting back in the Jeep business and providing the same level of outstanding service and customer commitment.

Uftring Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep is located at 140 Radio City Drive in North Pekin, on Route 29 just south of I-474. The facility is newly reconditioned with Wi-Fi, refurnished spacious lounges and an accessory store. Currently, there are 21 sales, service and parts employees. In the future, we anticipate creating additional jobs as the dealership grows. The facility is now open to customers, with an official Grand Opening to follow.

4 Subarus are 2009 Top Safety Picks

Subaru of America, Inc. announced today that four of its 2009 models have been named a 2009 'Top Safety Pick' by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The following vehicles each earned a 2009 'Top Safety Pick' in their category: Subaru Legacy for Mid-size Sedan, Subaru Impreza for Small Cars, Subaru Tribeca for Mid-size SUV and Subaru Forester for Small SUV. This is good news for customers in Central Illinois. Uftring Subaru has recently requested an additional allocation of new 2010 Subarus because of increased customer interest.

"We are extremely excited about Subaru's recognition as a Top Safety Pick. Central Illinois wants to buy Subarus and this is one of the many reasons why," said Gary Uftring, President of Uftring Subaru in East Peoria. "Subaru's recent products and success as a franchise have made it necessary for us to order additional inventory. The demand has begun to outpace our supply - in large part because all of the new products are tremendously successful."

'Top Safety Pick' recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting people in front, side, and rear crashes based on good ratings in Institute tests. Winners are also required have to have electronic stability control (ESC), which research shows significantly reduces crash risk.
"It is not a surprise that Subaru has again received 'Top Safety Pick' awards for its vehicles," says Institute President, Adrian Lund. "Subaru is a standout for 2009 because it has at least one Top Safety Pick in every vehicle class in which it competes. The Top Safety Pick awards speak to the commitment Subaru makes to produce safer vehicles."

New Ford Fiesta Due To Arrive Summer 2010

After months of anticipation, the 2011 Ford Fiesta is scheduled to arrive at Uftring Ford in the Uftring Automall next summer. Thanks to the Fiesta Movement, the vehicle can already claim 50,000 potential customers - some of them right here in Central Illinois.

Fiesta is continuing its sales momentum as Europe's No. 2-selling car and Ford of Europe's top-selling vehicle, helping Ford's share in Europe's main 19 markets increase for the eighth consecutive month.

Nearly 340,000 Fiestas have been sold since the car was launched last autumn, with 21,800 delivered to customers in August. Fiesta was the best-selling foreign vehicle in August in both Italy and France.

In Europe, the Fiesta name has long been synonymous with outstanding drive quality, design and value. The all-new Ford Fiesta will bring its three-decade heritage to U.S. consumers in 2010.
