What career matches your Corolla on the Sunshine Coast?

What career matches your Corolla on the Sunshine Coast?

As your Corolla colour can say a lot about your personality, it can also say a lot about what kind of career you may have (or desire to have). So what does your Corolla colour say about your career?

Citrus Corolla owners are bright, energetic and like to think out of the box. Being in the spotlight or juggling numerous things at once doesn’t scare you. A career in the creative industry is right up your alley. Possibly a role in graphic design, advertising, media, music or the arts is where your eccentric flair will come alive the most. A busy role for a busy person.

Silver Corolla owners are smart, organised and like to keep things modern. This girl is always up to date with the latest tech. You know all your features in your Corolla and have your playlist or podcast planned out for each drive. A career in the business industry is where your exceptional planning and technology skills could do best. Like an accountant, administration, reception, HR, sales, or for those who have a bit of creative flair, possibly a marketing role.

Blue Corolla owners are happy, vibrant and most of all social. Being around people is your favourite way to spend the day and if you can help people while being paid then that’s a win! Busy roles that are people focused are where blue Corolla owners would get the most satisfaction. So a social type of role such as hospitality professional, schoolteacher, childcare teacher, psychologist or a career in retail sales may be the career for you.

Black Corolla drivers like to maintain a mysterious appearance that will catch admiring looks from others. A perfect combination of sophistication and style is the aim of the game for everything in life. No letting the ball drop, even if it is the colour choice of your new wheels. Black Corolla drivers may go well in the health or beauty industry. Jobs such as a hairdresser, beautician, personal trainer or even a tattooist may be the career calling for you.

White Corolla drivers are kind, reliable and smart. You work hard and definitely have a tendency to be a perfectionist, which is great. That got you where you are now! You are very technology savvy and have your phone and smart watch connected to your Corolla so you can control everything at the push of a button. A potential career for a white Corolla driver could be in the technology industry.

Perhaps IT, website development, gamer, electronic technician or some kind of a gadget expert role.

Why Mums want to downsize their vehicles on the Sunshine Coast

Why Mums want to downsize their vehicles on the Sunshine Coast 

So finally, all of the kids have left home or have cars of their own and you’re left with your SUV, which is way too big for one person. There is no longer the sound of your kids fighting in the back and you don’t need to be a sole transport system for of them and their friends. You finally have the option to do something for you. Go where you want to go, listen to the radio station you want to listen to and simplify your life. Downsizing can really be an upgrade in life! So here is the reality of downsizing from say a Prado to a Corolla on the Sunshine Coast.

Parking a Corolla on the Sunshine Coast

This aspect alone is enough to make my point. Parking a Corolla compared to parking a Prado is an absolute dream. In a Corolla you can practically zip into any tight park with no worries! In a Prado, if you want to actually get the door open and exit the vehicle (assuming you can even get into the park) you will need to suck it in and not breath while you slip slowly to the ground and slide from behind the door. You’d most likely find yourself driving around until you find a park with plenty of space. And we all know how tight those spots in the plaza car park are! Well that’s a problem of the past with a Corolla!

Washing your Corolla on the Sunshine Coast

We live on the Sunshine Coast and that means a lot of salt in the air. So you should be washing your car regularly. But have you tried to do a good wash on a SUV, it’s a two-hour ordeal! Doing the roof is a whole mission of its own, it’s seriously difficult. Especially when you have to do it on your own because the kids are now smart enough to know that “lets see who can do their side the cleanest” is just tricking them do housework. With a Corolla you can pretty much cut the time and effort in half! Not to mention half the amount of water so the environment is winning too.

Lower running costs for a Corolla on the Sunshine Coast

Not only is having a Corolla saving you frustration and time for parking and cleaning it, it actually costs a whole lot less to run it! Which saves your hard earned cash for something you really love. It is practically a free massage or manicure a week! The fuel economy of a Corolla compared to large SUVs is amazing. And the cost of servicing and maintenance is also dramatically reduced. So less time and money spent on your vehicles and more time and money spent on yourself because you deserve it!

Finance… Don’t know what it means? Neither did I!

Finance… Don’t know what it means? Neither did I!

Buying a car on finance can seem like a great idea because frankly, most first time car buyers don’t really understand what it means. All you have to do is sign the dotted line and BOOM you have a new car! How awesome is that??? Or is it? Trust me, I had no idea what finance really means either.  What is finance? Why can it be better than dealing with banks and why do some dealerships offer rate programs like the current 0% program I see all over the TV? Well here is a simple explanation that may give you a better understanding of it all.

What is Toyota Finance?

To purchase a Toyota on finance means you are borrowing money directly from Toyota and not a bank. Toyota Financial Services is the largest automotive finance company in Australia and the second largest in the world! So you know you are safe by not borrowing from small fly-by-night finance companies that can charge astronomical fees and cost you an arm and a leg. So there is a big tick!

What is the difference between Toyota Finance and a loan from the bank?

PLENTY! Firstly, finance with a dealership could possibly save you thousands compared to a bank loan. Secondly, Toyota Finance is extremely convenient. When you are at the dealership you do all the paperwork there with their specialist finance team. It’s a one stop shop!

Applying for Toyota Finance can also be easier and faster. With a bank you may have to:

1. Wait for the application to be sent to their loans processing centre,
2. Be held in line for consideration,
3. Wait for approval (or denial) sent back,
4. Go back into the bank and sign the forms,
5. Wait for the loan settlement,
6. Wait for the back to send the money to Toyota, then
7. FINALLY you can pick up your new vehicle.

It can take weeks for this whole process depending on your situation!  With Toyota Finance you may even find out on the day if you are approved. This ‘hassle free’, ‘guest-centric’ mantra is what makes Toyota Finance truly and industry leader in the lending market.

Also as an added bonus, Toyota Finance is part of the National Credit Reference Scheme. This means if you are good at paying back your Toyota Finance loan, this will be noted to lending companies the next time you need to loan money. E.g., for a mortgage in the future! When you are good at paying back bank loans, the banks keep that information private by citing ‘confidentiality’, however if you are bad at paying back loans you may get black listed so every lender can see. Where’s the justice in that??

What is 0% finance and why does Toyota offer it on certain vehicles?

It is pretty simple, 0% finance means just that, you borrow the cost of the vehicle without interest! It is not a common occurrence so when the offer is there it can definitely be described as a steal. Some reasons for a rate campaign may be a discontinuation of a model line or an overabundance of stock.

0% Finance at Sunshine Toyota

Currently Sunshine Toyota is offering 0% finance on the new 2017 petrol Camry and Aurion models, even including the exciting Camry RZ! It has been speculated that this may possibly be the last 0% finance offer and it will only last until current stock runs out! So to talk to our finance team at Sunshine Toyota click here.
