  Speaker 4: We do have very many different arms that reach out
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: to the community, and I want to mention especially that
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: we teach all of the third graders in Bartlesville how
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: to swim, serving five hundred and sixty one kids teaching
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: them how to swim, and that's a very important aspect

• 1:06
  Speaker 2: of the year is almost done. We're just a few
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: deals away from our new Toyota goal. So the team

• 1:26
  Speaker 2: keep up and earn more cars. And every we get
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: allocations twice a month, and you know, people were always like,
• 1:32

  Speaker 2: ten or so on the ground ran new Toyotas and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: about twenty five in allocation on their way to us.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That's a pretty good ratio. That's that's what we want
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to grow them out on the ground. But it's hard
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: because we keep selling them as fast as they come.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Of those twenty five on the way, probably five of
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: them are already spoken for. Ye and you know it

• 4:56
  Speaker 2: but it reaches out and all over the place, providing
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the lifeguard services for the community. And you know, you've
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: made it possible for a lot of these sports to
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: continue to operate in town. And I've given them a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: place and a kind of a access to a facility
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and a way to get organized. That's really great. You know,
• 5:19

  Speaker 2: You know, I've got my brother works there and sister

• 11:12
  Speaker 2: uncle Bob every day ran the store back between myself
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: and my grandfather. And it's you know, it's just a
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: great legacy and we want to continue that in Bartlesville.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: And you know, that's why it's important for you to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: buy locally, and it includes all the business town and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: other dealers. It's really it is important that Bartlesville have
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: access to.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: These great brands like Toyota.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And we're gund to represent the nineteen sixty eight as the.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Oldest day dealership in Oklahoma.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: There go his right there, making new history every day. Yeah,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: a free day I got. I had a picture. I'm
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: not even sure how it got to Brian Ballard, one
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: of our managers, that somebody sent him a picture of
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the old the old Toyota dealership before it was moved
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: out to Highway seven and five. It was out on
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: out on the west side of town there and there
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the Murphys, and there was a picture of the Toyota
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: lot in about nineteen seventy so a couple of years
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in and it had these strange looking cars. And I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: had not seen that photo before. If I had. I don't,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't remember it, but it was. It was cool.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Even though Toyota is back then would run forever, I think.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: So that's why, that's why, you know, that's one of
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the reasons why Toyota is such a great vehicle. They
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: do make good vehicles and stand behind them, and they
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: maintain their resale value really well. And you know, we
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: see people keeping them in service. We almost every day
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: we get a two or three hundred thousand mile Toyota
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: in there and then i'ld be talking to him and
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: he's like, I've never had an issue. I just had
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: to change the oil, and yeah, it's.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Great to have that kind of reliability in those vehicles.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: My mom has a Crown.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Toyota just got a new Crown, and she asked me
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: the other day if you sold any more of those,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: and I said, oh, yes, marry many more. Seen a
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: lot they do well that she loves her new Crown.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now we have the Crownsignia coming out, which is
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: a small suv version of the Crown.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: That's what I want, and of course.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: I mean the whole full spectrum of vehicles from Toyota
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and exciting stuff. Now right on the verge of the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: brand new Wrap four. It's just being seen for the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: first time. I saw a picture of a test vehicle
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: in Michigan with all kinds of wraps on it. It'll
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: be out later this year, maybe early next year. Before that,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: we'll have the fore Runner, which we should have our
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: first twenty twenty five fore Runner, which is the first
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: complete redesign of the Forerunner in twelve years. So it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: from the ground up with a lot of the great
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: stuff you've seen in like the Sequoia, the Tacoma and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Tundrug they've recently been updated. This will bring that DNA
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: into the Forerunner, and I think it's going to be
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: really well received. Still, we've got our new the return
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: of the land Cruiser. I have a couple of those
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: in stock right now actually, And you know, so we've
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: got a bunch of choices in that mid size suv
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: area that are is so competitive and Forerunner, Land Cruiser.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I mentioned the Highlander and Grand Highland, which have been
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: pretty scarce this year. As I've talked about before on
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the show. You know, Toyota had an issue with these vehicles.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: They had a quality issue, a couple of different things
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: going on with actually with parts that were used and
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: they weren't working the way they were designed, and they
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: just stopped building the vehicles. They took them offline, they
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: fixed the issue. They didn't keep making them and send
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: them out and recall them a few years later, which
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: is more typical in the industry, and truthfully, it does happen.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And you know, this was a huge thing to stop
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: building vehicles for months. Oh yeah, but we're getting those
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: back now. And I've got several in the allocation, the
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Grand Highlander, which is a great vehicles, a little bit
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: bigger than the older Highlander, and then of course we
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: still have the traditional Highlander. So four great choices in
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: that mid size suv slot.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Every fourth car on this road is.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: A Highlanders what it seems.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Like it sometimes. That's that where we're at for anymore,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: right up there with it very very popular, just a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: little bit smaller than the Highlander, but all the same flexibility,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: and it's a nice It really does perform well. It
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: has great fuel economy. And you know there's the hybrids
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: engines and the Toyotas are really popular right now. Obviously,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Toyota has been making hybrid since the nineties and with
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the previous vehicle started a lot of that and as
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you know, a great reliability, just a track record of
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you know, no issues really with the battery system. These
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: are gas and battery systems that are combined. You always
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: have the flexibility of your gasoline engine, but she's also
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: got a battery that gives you that both an extended
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: fuel economy, better fuel economy, but also great power and
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: torque and performance with your engine. And you know, as
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: as the hybrids have evolved, you see that different in
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: each vehicle. The Crown your mother has or the Crown
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Insignia performs really differently than the one than the hybrid
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: system in mice Aqualia and they and you know, they
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: just are tuned differently and meant to perform differently because
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: the Squalia is going to be towing potentially every things
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: than a small it's dan and you know, so they
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: just set them up to perform differently. And it's it's
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you know, we hear people all the time who say
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: they want the big engine, but you can get that
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: same performance from a smaller engine with a turbocharge hybrid
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: system like Toyota makes and great great technology and cool,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: really well engineered, highly really when you do have a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: vehicle like that, you want to make sure you do
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: your maintenance on it. It's very important to keep up
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: on changing the oil every ten thousand miles and use
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: the right oil and gasoline in the vehicle because they
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: are engineered to find tolerance. And yeah, great great engineering
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: from Toyota. And another thing going on at the dealership
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: I wanted to mention was our brand new website has
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: rolled out again. We've got our it's really I think
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the second remaking of the website in the last twelve months.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That means if you have to go shopping again, well.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: We keep we keep trying to make it better.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: We keep trying to make it better. And you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: it is such an important tool these days. You can
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: go on there and get you know, obviously pictures of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: the vehicles in the Carfax report on any vehicle we have.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: But you can get a lot more than that. You
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: can get price comparisons. You can go in and actually
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: compare payments on a lease versus financing using your own credit.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: You can do all kinds of great stuff. See how
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: much if you want to play with the mountain down
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: or understand if I extended the term of the loan
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: went from forty eight to sixty or seventy two months,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: what would that do to the pay And a lot
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: of this information you used to have to come to
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the Car Leadership for now right there on your finger
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: at your fingertips, on your phone or on your desktop computer.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's really an easy way to buy a car and
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a great tool if you're shopping and have questions about it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: We still see, you know, interest rates and payments being
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: an issue with consumers right now. The interest rates are
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: still standard about you know, maybe between five and a
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: half and seven percent, and you know some a few
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: institutions a little bit lower now. But you know, there
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: are some great deals like I said on leasing from
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Toyota sure, and then also some incentivi ide rates you
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: know I mentioned with the end of the month, we've
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: got some great incentives on Tundra, Tacoma, Camery, Highlander, fo
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: interst rates right now. You can see all that on
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: the website at Dungeustoyota dot com and it's worth checking out.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Like I said, it's a brand new website. And anyway,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: we've got a few minutes left to go talk a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: little bit more about the YMCA and all the stuff
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: going on there.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, well I wanted to also mention the young scholars.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, event we just touched on it earlier.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: And I just recently got a young scholar myself through
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: the Big Brothers and Big Sisters programs since I we're
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: now empty nesters, so I needed something and my dog
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: passed away, and so I found a nice young lady.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: She's seventh grader at Central and she's a young scholar
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: and now my.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Little sisters, So I'm very excited about this.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Is what that program's really all about, is connecting people
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: that help mentor young people who want to go on
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to college. There's great support for them through that process
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: all the way from the seventh grade through high school
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: on to their college careers, and it helps them get scholarships,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: help them arrange and prepare, you know, for that for
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the rest of their lives. Ytley, And it's something you
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: know were passionate about, you know, growing up in Oklahoma
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: and going on to college all that. My parents invested
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: a lot in enemy to be able to be successful,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and it's so important that we get all our children
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: off to a good start. Young scholars is a way
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: that we do that. In Borrows so that really reaches
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: to those people early and helps them all the way through.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: It teaches them the possible exactly.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: And there are many people.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't realize how many, but we had a dinner
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: recently last week, and there are about forty different people
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: that are doing the same thing that I'm doing and
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: mentoring it, and even more that are doing just big
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: brothers and big sisters. Yeah, very very very valuable program.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: We'll have them on here soon and get Dianna from
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: the Young Scholars to come talk about the program before
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the event living up in February. Yeah, she's really great.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And then also we've got the Carnegie Hall link up
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: coming up here pretty soon, which is one of those
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: things like what you guys do at the Why with
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: the third graders. This is the Barsville Symphony Orchestra. They
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: bring in all the fifth graders to the community Center
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and from all over the region, from Southeast Kansas, anywhere
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: you want to come from, and they'll they help with
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: transportation if necessary, and we do. We give them a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: sponsorship to help with the transportation. But what's so neat
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: about it is they practice with their i think their kazoos,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: little uh order or something for months, several months working
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: on this song and then they all come together and
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: into the Community Center and play along with the orchestra.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: And it's a real introduction of fifth graders to orchestra
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: music and the community center and and it's such a neat,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: neat deal.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: And not every kid's going to play with an orchestra,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: but an here.
