What's hot at Cedric Theel Toyota Scion

According to the Sales Department here at Cedric Theel Toyota Scion, the RAV4 is a hot vehicle right now. Maybe people are remembering last winter and thinking 'it would be really nice to have an SUV'. Or, it could be the fact that RAV4 has benefitted from years of refinement and offers a whole lot of room and comfort in a small package.

The RAV4 comes in a Base, Sport or Limited model. The Base model comes with many standard features, including air, cruise and a nice audio system with MP3 jack. The Sport has a sport-tuned suspension and bigger wheels, while the Limited offers many luxurious bells and whistles, including a Smart Key System.

RAV4 offers plenty of cargo space, or with the available 50/50 Split &Stow 3rd Row seats, it becomes equipped to haul up to seven people. So whether you're hauling the team to the game, packing for a camping trip or just heading out for a quick shopping trip, RAV4 can handle it.

Stop by and test drive a RAV4 soon! We're located at I94's exit 161, north of the Oasis Truck Stop in Bismarck. You can also shop online at cedrictheeltoyota.com.

Winter Driving Tips

Cedric Theel Toyota Scion Winter Driving Tips:


1) Get your vehicle’s regular service done now. Tire pressure, hoses, and belts need to be checked so you don’t have problems when the temperature dips.

2) Make sure your battery and charging system are ready for the cold weather. Batteries need more power in the winter.  Your cooling system also needs to have the correct mix. We can check these systems out for you in our service department.

3) Check your defrost setting, windshield wipers and washer fluid level. Make sure you have a good ice scraper and brush in your vehicle. If you have a rear-window defroster, check that out as well. Clear off your car, windows and head lights and taillights before driving off. You need to be able to see clearly, and others need to be able to see you.

4) Stash a winter survival kit. Include the following: a sleeping bag; extra clothing; flashlight; water; shovel; blanket; flares. The Parts Department at Cedric Theel Toyota Scion has a roadside assistance kit – what a great gift idea!

5) Keep your cellular phone charged.

6) Know how to stop on the ice – do you have antilock brakes, traction control or front-wheel drive? Each will handle a bit differently in snowy conditions.

Drive safely this winter!
