If you have to get your car serviced by Toyota, I would recommend this one due to the friendless of staff and location of dealership.- Pamela

The people at this dealership were very friendly and helpful when I came in. They asked me what I was looking for and proceed to meet all my needs. The test drive went very well. I went in knowing what I wanted and drove out in what I wanted. I owed a Toyota before but the Prius is my dream car. Thanks- Debra

Toyota 100 Cars for Good Program Gifts Two Local Charities With New Toyota Vehicles

2011-12-12T10:25:00.000-08:00

Toyota Scion of Concord will award The Humane Society of Concord & Greater Cabarrus County and Petey’s Promise with new vehicles to support their philanthropic efforts in the community and expand their missions’ reach. The Humane Society, which will receive a new Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited, will use the SUV for a variety of operating needs, including the transport of animals from the shelter to the spay/neuter clinic, for veterinary care and to move supplies between the nonprofit’s three facilities. The new Toyota Tundra will help Petey’s Promise deliver more animal food and care items to pet owners facing financial hardships, as well as haul large equipment needed for the organization’s outreach events.

The dealership will host the key presentation on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2011 at 10 a.m. and the event will be joined by furry friends from the Humane Society, along with their mascot, Roof & Shingles. Petey’s Promise’s very own Petey, a rescued dog, and his little brother Cowboy will also be at the celebration.

The Toyota 100 Cars for Good program has awarded 100 vehicles over the course of 100 days to 100 deserving non-profit organizations nationwide based on votes from the public. 100 Cars for Good was launched as a Facebook-enabled philanthropy initiative which engaged supporters of these charities through its Facebook application. Each day for 100 days, five organizations were profiled on the Facebook page and the one with the most votes at the end of the day was awarded a car. The 400 runners-up each received $1,000.

“We are so grateful to receive this new car and we thank Toyota and our supporters for answering our prayers,” said Judy Sims, CEO of the Humane Society of Concord. “Being a woman of strong faith, I always believed our prayers would be heard. We rely on volunteers to pick up animals from puppy mill raids and take them to our shelters. We also have to transport supplies by making multiple trips. This vehicle donation will allow us to be more efficient in getting our work done and assisting in animal rescues where adequate transportation is needed.”

With three locations in Cabarrus County, The Humane Society’s mission is to end animal suffering and cruelty, reduce overpopulation and educate the public on responsible pet ownership. Through the support of trained volunteers, the agency also investigates cases of animal abuse and neglect, provides affordable pet spaying and neutering and helps find homes for abandoned animals.

"We are absolutely thrilled to have won a new truck from Toyota. We never in a million years would have thought this was possible,” said Elizabeth Mellott, president and founder of Petey’s Promise. “Our board members and volunteers often dig into their own pockets to fulfill the needs of pet owners and this generous donation from Toyota will help alleviate the expense of getting transportation to carry large donations to our clients. Thanks to Toyota and our supporters, we will easily quadruple our deliveries, which means more animals will be fed and remain in the homes of their loving families.”

Petey’s Promise seeks to provide temporary food and pet-care items to animal owners in the Charlotte and Concord area who are otherwise forced to surrender their pets to shelters. Mellott, an animal activist, plans to add a no-kill animal rescue shelter, a large animal sanctuary and eventually develop a branch to assist in marine rescues.

“Toyota Scion of Concord is proud to support Petey’s Promise and the Humane Society of Concord by awarding them new vehicles through Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good,” said Wendell Hairfield, general manager of Toyota Scion of Concord. “Most of our customers are local and giving back to our community is one way we show our appreciation for their continued support. These organizations do a lot for this area so we are honored to host an event that celebrates both nonprofits.”

Throughout the year, Toyota Scion of Concord participates in a variety of charitable activities within the community. During the holidays, the dealership supports Marines in Afghanistan by sending more than a dozen care packages to those serving in the Middle East. It also holds an annual clothing drive to collect outer wear for Coats for Kids.

The Toyota 100 Cars for Good Program enables 100 organizations to receive a Toyota vehicle to make a greater impact on the community. Since 1991, Toyota has contributed more than $500 million to non-profit organizations and has always been guided by a strong belief in serving the communities where it does business.

Toyota of Concord’s Quick Summer Car Care Tips for Safe Driving on Vacation!

2011-06-09T13:32:00.000-07:00

Summer Vacation Car Care Tips from Toyota of Concord

Summer means fun in the sun and vacations road trips for most families. Toyota of Concord knows that taking an extended road trip can actually take a toll on the family car. Extreme heat and long drives can be tough on tires. Most people driving in summer complain of leaky radiators, cracked hoses, underinflated tires and dirty filters. All these factors can significantly reduce the fuel efficiency, or worse, can lead to a total breakdown. So if you are planning a vacation with your family this summer and want your loved ones safe on road, be sure to get your vehicle ready for the trip in order to avoid any unnecessary hassles and road accidents.

Here is a quick summer car care checklist to ensure you spend more time with your family during the vacation rather than changing a flat tire on road.

If you haven't had your car in for routine maintenance in the last few months, get it into a repair shop or to an auto service center for a full safety inspection a week or so before you leave for vacation. This will allow enough time to fix any problems the technician may have uncovered. Be sure to ask your Certified Auto Technician to check the following

Check your tires as tire pressure changes with the rising temperatures. Request your mechanic to check for tire tread depth and condition. Don’t forget to have the spare tire pressure checked as well.
Get your air conditioning system checked.
Also insist that your car technician examines the windshield wipers, lights, belts, filters and hoses.
Check your car batteries.

Even if your car technician confirms everything is fine, there is always a possibility of car trouble while on vacation. So it is always important to keep yourself equipped with an Emergency Road Kit to save you from those dreaded moments when you have car trouble in the middle of the road, especially if there is no nearby car repair service available.

Make sure your Emergency Road Kit include:

Flashlights and flare.
Multipurpose tools including pliers, screwdriver, wire cutters, an awl, a knife, file, a saw, and a bottle opener.
A First Aid kit
Water
Jumper cables
Tire inflator
Extra fluids (oil, coolant, transmission)
A jack (ensure that the vehicle jack is operational and all the tools are present)
Gloves
Rags/paper towel
Blanket

Other Useful Tips

· Pack as lightly as possible as this can help avoiding unnecessary weight on your tires, and can help you save some gas! And be careful not to block your view in the mirror while driving.

· Follow the highway speed limits not only for your safety, but to save some extra fuel as well.

· Finally, follow all the road safety rules and enjoy the open roads and the sunny sky with your loved ones!

To schedule a reliable Auto Service Center in your area visit Toyota of Concord in Concord NC. You can even take advantage of our some of our Service Specials online.

For peace of mind while on vacation and year-round you can check out our Hendrick Autoguard Program.

Everyone knows that there are always situations that cannot be anticipated. That’s why there is Hendrick Autoguard Assurance Edge Motor Club Program – a comprehensive motor club program that provides you with peace-of-mind knowing that help is just a phone call away. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Emergency Travel Expense Reimbursement
Vehicle Rental Reimbursement

"My wife Doris and I attended your celebration last night at Toyota of Concord. We were very impressed with the professionalism of your staff. Without exception, each employee was professional and extremely attentive and polite. My wife is the owner of the new Prius, which we both are enjoying. Over the years (34) we have purchased numerous vehicles for our family, never have we experienced such a professional staff as we have found at Toyota of Concord. My wife talked with your technician about the Prius, he gracefully answered each and every question she and others asked. I observed and was very impressed with his knowledge and people skills in dealing with the customers. The Prius appeared to be the hit of all the customers present.

We look forward to a good relationship with your dealership and will recommend your dealership and products to friends and family. Speaking of family, my father (deceased) was an auto mechanic his entire life. He believed in a clean workplace to repair automobiles, he would have amazed at the cleanliness of your auto repair shop. I would recommend having some large photos made of the auto repair area to have on display for customers to observe who are shopping for a auto from your business. That was an impressive shop. "

Thanks again,

During "Toyotathon Shareathon" interested consumers will be encouraged to spread the word about Toyotathon via Twitter.

A lucky 2,000 people will be rewarded with the opportunity to earn a $500 prepaid debit card, assuming they purchase a new Toyota during the defined promotional period. From December 8th thru December 11th, 500 consumers will be able to Tweet about their plans for a new Toyota and get a certificate redeemable for a $500 prepaid debit card after they purchase or lease their new Toyota.

At noon PT on each of those four days, 500 certificates will be given to the fastest people who Tweet about their intentions to buy a new Toyota. This turn-key Shareathon promotion is separate and above any of the existing incentive programs that are currently in place for Toyotathon. Dealership personnel do not need to redeem anything nor activate any certificates. Consumer activation of the program takes place on a website.

How it works:
Starting December 1st, we will tease the promotion. We will have digital ad banners on auto endemic websites where in-market shoppers are doing their research. We will also have mentions on auto blogs to start to spread the news of the $500 offer. All banners will link to the
butatoyota.com home page. There, people can research current offers, and find out more about the Shareathon program. Then, on December 8, the program goes live. ToyotathonShareathon.com will generate 500 unique, coded certificates per day for four days. A total of 2,000 unique certificates will be issued. No additional certificates will be available, nor are they transferable. Customers will qualify for the $500 if they do all three of the following:

• Are lucky enough to get a unique certificate
• Purchase or lease a new Toyota from Dec 8 through Jan 3. (No Toyotathon purchases prior to Dec 8 qualify)
• Submit for their redemption no later than Feb 1, 2011

Consumers do not need to bring the certificates to the store, although we suspect many will. Please remember, the dealership personnel do not need to take any action with these certificates. Customers will submit their VIN numbers online for redemption purposes. All debit cards will be mailed directly to customers' homes. We're rewarding word of mouth, ensuring at least 2,000 tweets and building a lot of buzz. Toyotathon is now officially entering the digital age and
we're proud to be the first with this kind of offer!

Limited "xPRESSO" edition of Scion xD are here!

2010-11-30T02:47:00.000-08:00

Scion has infused a new lease of life to xD hatchback with its xD release series 3.0. This effort has been put in with the intention to keep its aging xD five-door subcompact a little fresher. Toyota of Concord, a Hendrick Toyota car dealer in Concord NC, is pleased to announce that Scion has created the limited-edition xD release series 3.0 for the 2011 model year. It is believed that only 1,500 models of the RS 3.0 will be built.

The xD RS 3.0 comes fitted with a four-piece body kit including front and rear lower lips along with side skirts. The body kit adds assertive styling and is exclusive to the xD RS 3.0. The xD comes painted in a distinctive brown color appropriately named as xPRESSO. The new brown exterior paint isn't available on any other model in the Scion lineup, and the diminutive xD wears it quite well. Scion adds B-pillar appliqués finished in a carbon fiber material and the xD RS logo which are unique to this edition.

Due to the limited production, Scion has also added an individually numbered stainless steel badge that will tell which one of 1500 units you own!

The car is expected to hit the dealerships later this month.

Toyota of Concord would like to showcase a shining example of the 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser, one of Toyota's longest-running model lines (as well as the inspiration for today's FJ Cruiser). As if finding a classic in such pristine condition weren't special enough, this particular example happens to be from the personal collection of Country Music Superstar Alan Jackson. It went up for auction in 2009 for $82,500.

Jackson's FJ45 Land Cruiser is an air conditioned, automatic transmission model with two-tone paint and a houndstooth interior. It has been fortified with a 5.7-liter Chevy V8, delivering monster torque. Credit for the masterful restoration of this Cruiser goes to TLC of Van Nuys, CA.

While this rareified Land Cruiser is not for sale, you can check it out anytime at Toyota of Concord, your best source for new and used Toyotas in North Carolina.

Introducing the 2011 Scion tc

2010-10-22T02:31:00.000-07:00

Scion of Concord, a leading dealer in Concord, NC, proudly introduces the new 2011 Scion tC. Succeeding the original model that helped pioneer Scion itself, the tC enters its second generation with more of everything young buyers want (style, speed, efficiency, features) and nothing they don't.

Heading the list of good news is an all-new 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine pumping out 180 horsepower and 173 pounds-feet of torque -- among the best in the sport-compact class. Even with such newfound strength, the tC's mileage rises in tandem, reaching a frugal 31 MPG on the highway, largely thanks to new automatic and manual transmissions that pack six speeds apiece. Rounding out the performance boost are road-hugging new 18-inch wheels and tires -- bigger and more aggressive than those found on the tC's peers.

Also this year, the lines are sharper, the interior roomier, and the feel more luxurious. Scion's Earth-shaking stereo returns with 8 speakers, a USB hookup, and direct iPod controls. The tC retains its versatile hatchback bodystyle and room for five adults, while new dual knee airbags (supplementing the front, side, and side-curtain airbags) and standard stability control keep them safer than ever. As before, the 2011 Scion tC remains the sports coupe that lets a buyer style the car to his/her heart's content with endless custom accessories.

Be the first to drive home the 2011 tC! And be sure to visit Scion of Concord for all your new Scion needs in the greater Concord area.

Try out the safe Sienna!

2009-05-03T21:19:00.001-07:00

The 2009 Toyota Sienna is a vehicle you can drive with your eyes closed. That is how safe it is. In fact, this safety is only a continuation of the tradition it has had from the time it was introduced more than a decade back. It has consistently returned some of the healthiest safety ratings since then.

It also has a lot more for you. It is a thoroughly dependable vehicle. It can deliver on the toughest surfaces; it can be a great companion for shopping and for dropping kids to school, or it can give upscale vehicles a run for their money with its sophistication.

It is not everyday that you come across a minivan that offers you a choice of seven or eight passengers. The 2009 Toyota Sienna's 40-20-40 split seats give enough room for all these passengers to sit comfortably. This is one of the major improvements this vehicle has got since its introduction. The vehicle was great earlier too, but newer models have removed the crammed space it had earlier.

And now to the heart of the minivan. The engine on which the 2009 Toyota Sienna rides is a highly sophisticated 3.5-liter V6 that can generate an amazingly powerful 266 horses and just 245 lb ft of torque. This is an improvement of almost 20 percent over the earliest models. The three trims -the base CE; midrange LE and the top-of-the-line XLE are made entirely for you.

Choose the 2009 Toyota Matrix; choose practicality!

2009-05-03T21:15:00.000-07:00

“Practicality” could well be another name for the 2009 Toyota Matrix. With the Matrix, you get great functionality, utility, neat performance and efficient fuel consumption. With the 2009 Toyota Matrix, there is a lot of work you can do for the home. Whether you want to transport your kid's cycle to the school or want to bring home every major item you shopped; the Matrix is never going go complain.
Or of course, if you chose to transport people along with these goods, it is as much at home. Among its wagon and five-door hatchback body types, it is offered in three trims: base, S and SRX. You can drive out on its choice of two engine types: the 1.8-litre, four-cylinder engine with132-horsepower and 128 lb ft of peak torque, and a 2.4-litre four-cylinder that produces a higher power of 158-horsepower and 162 lb ft of torque. If you notice, these two engines are exactly those offered on the 2009 Corolla. This is to say that it combines all the utility it has with the suave of a sedan.
It comes with a standard five-speed manual transmission or a four-or five-speed automatic transmissions.
Its features like increased seat-track travel; tilt steering wheel; thoroughly ergonomically designed controls; a tall and deep bench in the back of the vehicle and 60/40 seat split make it the perfect one for the family. This is a also a great improvement in all the major performance parameters over past Toyota Matrix models. These have indeed come a long way since the start of this generation in 2003.

Gordon earns first win since 2007

2009-04-08T07:35:00.000-07:00

Written by Hendrick Motorsports

Tuesday, 07 April 2009 10:18

FORT WORTH, Texas (April 5, 2009) – Jeff Gordon shook two monkeys off his back on Sunday when he drove his No. 24 DuPont/National Guard GED Plus Chevrolet to Victory Lane at Texas Motor Speedway.

In taking the checkered flag, Gordon halted his 47-race winless streak and secured his first victory in his 17th NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at the 1.5-mile oval. Gordon, who remains atop the driver standings, was followed by his teammates Jimmie Johnson in second, Mark Martin in sixth, Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 20th and Brad Keselowski in 23rd.

“How ironic is this that we go on this streak and then we end it here in Texas -- a place that had just eluded us for so long,” said Gordon, who won his last points race in October 2007 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. “This was an incredible team effort. This whole year has been amazing. What a great car.

We've never had a car like this at Texas, and we finally had one and put it into position.”
But holding onto the top spot wasn’t an easy feat for Gordon, who led six times for 105 laps during the 334-lap event.

Johnson started ninth and worked with his team throughout the race on his No. 48 Kobalt Tools/Tough Tools for Cool Schools Chevrolet. He lost position early, but climbed back into the top five as the race wound down. He cracked into the top three in the final 30 laps thanks to a swift pit stop and chased Gordon until the race concluded.

“Five more (laps) and we would have had a shot at him,” said Johnson, who jumped to second in the driver standings. “But we were both driving as hard as we could. It was nice to get our car up to the front and get some clean air on it. We had to work really hard all day long to get the car right. So, I’m very proud of the team. We have our old style back where we just keep plugging away, and we’ll get it right come the end of the race. In another five laps we would have been racing with him. I’m not sure what would have happened, but it was a great race all together, and I’m very happy for Jeff.”

Martin drove his No. 5 Cheez-It/CARQUEST Chevrolet from the 23rd starting spot to a sixth-place finish to post his third straight top-10 of the season. Martin topped the charts in the first practice on Friday, but struggled some during qualifying and Saturday’s practice sessions.
“The Cheez-It/CARQUEST Chevrolet was really good today,” said Martin, who led three laps during Sunday’s race and improves to 18th in the driver standings. “I was worried after yesterday’s practice that we may have a 20th-place car. But the guys, like every other Sunday, gave me a great race car. They worked really hard, and Alan (Gustafson, crew chief) made all the right changes to get us in the top 10 today. That last run, we were the loosest we’d been all day. I’m not sure if it was the tires or what. I really wanted that top-five, but just couldn’t get there.”

Earnhardt lined up 20th in his AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet and led once for six laps. He was running in the top 10 when he brushed the wall on Lap 287.
“I was running real, real hard all day,” Earnhardt said. “Trying too hard to run well, and just got into the wall down there in the middle of Turn 1 and 2. The car jumped sideways. Those cars are built pretty tough. It didn’t bend anything in the car. We were just running real hard there, trying to get the best finish we could there. Just got us in there a little deep and got in the fence. My mistake.”

Keselowski, who qualified for his fourth Cup race for Hendrick Motorsports, started 40th on Sunday and climbed through the field for the 23rd-place finish in his No. 25 GoDaddy.com Chevrolet.

“This was a great learning day for me and the rest of the GoDaddy.com team,” Keselowski said. “Lance (McGrew, crew chief) made some really great changes throughout the race, and we were able to get this car working so much better by the end of the day.”

Expect the grand 2009 Toyota Camry from our dealership!

2008-10-21T23:49:00.000-07:00

The 2009 Toyota Camry has arrived. This is news we have to celebrate, not only because the Camry is the country’s best selling car, but also because it gets more stylish this year. It is the most aerodynamic Camry ever; so, you know the kind of feel you will have of the road.

The 2009 model of Toyota Camry is equipped with greater power on its engines, is more fuel efficient; is more spacious, and offers more transmission choices.

It comes on LE, SE and XLE trims. The base LE is given a 2.4-litre engine with an output of 158 horsepower and 161 lb ft torque. It comes with an optional engine –the DOHC, 3.5-litre V-6 engine with 268 horsepower and just 248 lb ft of torque. This is the standard configuration for all the other trims.

The choice of transmission is varied. You can choose between five-speed manual transmissions; an electronically-controlled five-speed automatic or a six-speed automatic transmission for the V6.

The Camry was rated one of the best family sedans in 2007 by AAA and Parents Magazine.

The Toyota Prius

2008-10-21T04:21:00.000-07:00

The Toyota Prius wins hands-down as the best-selling gas-electric hybrid in the United States and continues to be a benchmark model, the world over. Way ahead in the development of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles, Toyota is already on its second generation of the Prius. This four-door hybrid offers buyers a solution to escalating fuel prices and environmental responsibility, as it continues to grow in demand with American consumers.

The Prius was introduced as a 2001 model; redesigned for 2004 and updated for 2006. For 2008, the new Prius gets options that include leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. For a shopper interested in a hybrid vehicle, the Prius is a comfortable car with adult-size back seats and lots of cargo space. It also gets aerodynamic and sleek exterior styling that distinguishes it from other vehicles.

The Toyota Prius comes in base and Touring trim levels, with a wide range of optional packages that cater to customer personalization. Standard features include a six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo; a tilting steering wheel, fabric upholstery; electric air conditioning; power accessories; remote keyless entry; cruise control; intermittent front and rear wipers; and 15-inch aluminum wheels.

The Prius is not an electric car that needs plugging-in. A small, highly efficient four-cylinder, 1.5-liter gasoline-fueled engine, is used in combination with two electric motors, and a gear-set that works as a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The gas engine delivers 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque, while the electric motors generate 67 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. A regenerative braking system converts energy into electricity, to charge the car's battery pack; the gasoline engine charges the battery as you drive. Under acceleration, both energy sources provide adequate power, but in stop-and-go traffic, the Prius often runs on battery power alone.

The 2008 Prius gets EPA ratings of 48/45 mpg (city/highway). The car is also certified as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV); and meets the Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) standards, as well as zero evaporative emissions standards.

2008 Toyota Tundra

2008-10-17T04:48:00.001-07:00

Toyota launched the 2008 redesigned Tundra pickup truck, with an eye on serious buyers in the big pickup segment, a move which more than doubled its market share. When the Tundra was launched in 2007, only the Tundra Regular Cab, with single-row seating was available. For 2008, Toyota has added some models to the Tundra line and priced the truck more competitively.

For 2008, the Double Cab and CrewMax, new Tundra Grade trim package offers fewer standard features at a lower price; the six-passenger Double Cab, starts at $24,715. The 2008 Tundra appeals to buyers both in terms of price, as well as value, at the low end and high end of the market. The Tundra is available in three body styles: two-door Regular cab; Double Cab with front-hinged, secondary rear side doors; and the four-door CrewMax. It also comes with three bed lengths and three different wheelbases.

Powering the Tundra is a 4.0-liter V6 engine used for work-truck duty. In addition there is an intermediate 4.7-liter V8 and a 5.7-liter V8 engine; standard transmission is a six-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard; four-wheel drive is optional. The 5.7-liter V8 engine is one of the most responsive powertrains in the big pickup segment. Payload capacity ranges from 1410 pounds to 2060 pounds, while towing capacity hits 10,800 pounds. Fuel economy rates at 13/17 mpg (city/highway).

Seating arrangements are available for two, three, five or six in the three trim levels; the 2008 Tundra incorporates 44 different build configurations. Base Tundra models are loaded with amenities, interior storage options, a tailgate and standard four-wheel disc brakes. Limited models have GPS-linked navigation with a backup camera and a nine-inch LCD screen for rear-seat entertainment.

Safety features include side-impact airbags, curtain-type head protection airbags, advanced anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and a limited-slip differential. The Toyota Tundra is a full-size pickup comparable in every way to trucks from close rivals GMC, Chevy, Ford, Dodge and Nissan. As a work truck Toyota Tundra delivers excellent payload and tow ratings, it's also powerful and comfortable.

Jimmie Murphey's Christmas Dinner Donations

2007-12-03T07:51:00.000-08:00

Jimmy Murphey's tattered 40-year-old, four-bedroom house is more of a warehouse for the needy than a real home for him. In the living room, stacks of canned goods cover nearly the entire floor and rise almost to the ceiling. Two bedrooms, including Murphey’s overflow with toys and canned goods up to a visitor's shoulders. Two industrial-sized freezers stuffed with meat take up most of the floor space in another room.

Murphey, a 77-year-old man with a beneficent smile, buys the food on sale throughout the year and stores it for his annual Christmas dinner and toy giveaways that he has organized for more than three decades. Each year, Murphey distributes about 11,000 meals and hundreds of toys to the needy with the help of donations of time and money from friends, local business people and other individuals. Last Christmas, Murphey and his army of 500 volunteer cooks and drivers gave away meals in seven towns. Murphey spent much of Christmas day in his own kitchen cooking meals for more than 1,200 people who formed lines more than three blocks long outside his home to get a holiday dinner.

Although Christmas is by far Murphey's biggest food giveaway day, he hands out meals throughout the year to the needy. Murphey has passed out free meals to the poor since he was a child. It all started in the 1930s, after Murphey's mother fell on hard times and asked the local social services agency for help. The agency turned her down. After she got back on her feet financially, Murphey's mom made a vow. "Mom said, 'Whoever knocks on this door will share what we have even if we are as dirt poor as the people asking. We won't deny anyone,'" says Murphey. His mom organized annual Christmas dinner giveaways and Murphey took charge of the event after she died in 1968.

By the 1980s, Murphey was serving several hundred people. The number grew to thousands by the 1990s as word-of-mouth and media stories spread news of his good works. Contributions also grew. Now, local politicians contribute food, money and supplies. Business people donate cash and help cook and serve food along with volunteers of all races and nationalities. School children collect canned goods to give to Murphey. Bojangles Restaurants donates food. Murphey's home offers precious little living space for him because nearly all of it is taken up by food and toys. But that's the way he wants it. Murphey is too selfless to ask for a home makeover. But if he did, he would likely want additional storage space and shelves to store more food and toys, and a bigger kitchen to prepare more food for more people. Sitting on his couch between boxes of toys Murphey says, "I wish I could do even more."

Murphey would not want to marvel at a spacious new house that he can enjoy. He would take pleasure in having a home built to serve others.

Help this true angel to touch more people.

2007 Toyota Prius Hybrid - IntelliChoice ranked Best Overall Value of the Year

2007-09-05T13:32:00.000-07:00

Toyota first introduced its gasoline/electric hybrid Prius for 2001, following close on the launch of the Honda Insight. The current Prius made its debut for the 2004 model year. For 2007, a Touring Edition joins the Prius model lineup and the car receives additional standard safety equipment. The four-door 2007 Toyota Prius hybrid has great appeal with car-buying consumers because of its excellent fuel economy, brisk road manners and reasonable price tag.

The Prius has a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Electric power runs the car until the first 12mph, after which the gasoline engine takes over. When the car is stationary or cruising, the gasoline engine can be turned off. The Toyota Prius never needs to be plugged in to a power source and functions just like any other regular family car. Interiors are comfortable for four adults and come standard with the most contemporary convenience features available in other vehicles.

IntelliChoice ranked Prius the Best Overall Value of the Year with an EPA-estimated combined city/highway 55 miles per gallon and an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating. Well-accommodated with standard features like Push Button Start, cruise control, keyless entry, power door locks and windows, and a liquid crystal multi-information display, the 2007 Toyota Prius offers great value for a great price, especially for the environment-conscious customer.

Explore the Prius Hybrid at Toyota of Concord, Speedway Blvd, Concord, North Carolina 28027.
