This morning we were running back and forth between dealerships here at Milton Ruben, when something caught our eye. Nestled in between the line of colossal Jeeps was a rare treat: a tiny yet powerful vintage Corvette. We immediately abandoned our sprint to the nearest air-conditioned building. This 1994 Corvette Coupe has two doors and a hatchback body style. The exterior of the car is full of intricate details such as square exhaust pipes, factory alloy wheels and classic logos, but the interior features a bold red interior, complete with leather seats. The 5.7 L engine cranks out 300 horse power and 340 pounds of torque. The 1994 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 2dr Hatchback. To say that this two-door hatchback is still in style is an understatement. Find more information at http://bit.ly/1JyxrBA. Cassette or CD? It's your call. This Corvette also includes an AM/FM radio. One fiberglass roof panel, two doors and lots of head turns. Featuring a 5.7 L engine with 300 horsepower and 340 pounds of torque, this Corvette won't feel like you're driving a 21-year-old car. This 1994 pre-owned Corvette Coupe features a bold red interior and leather bucket seats. Think of all the historic moments that happened in 1994. The longest MLB strike in history began, “The Lion King” was released, and America Online and NAFTA were both introduced to the world. Also entering the world: Justin Bieber. Clearly, 1994 was a pivotal year. Go back to that sleeker, simpler time with the 1994 Chevrolet Corvette. Pop in a Green Day cassette tape and let the memories wash over you.

For us Southerners, the "nip" in the air at 62 degrees is about as wintery as we like it.  We prefer plastic snow flakes over the frozen H20 variety, and have no problem with our Christmas lights not getting covered in drifts of white blankets.  Quite frankly, that stuff makes it difficult to drive to football games, not to mention cause bread and milk to go missing for days at a time.  We are just not equipped for what the rest of our great nation defines as "winter." We are, however, very well prepared for the cheer when we don't have to deal with all of that icy freezing temperature nonsense.  'Tis the season of giving, and with our Christmas trees up and glowing, our charity drives in full swing, and end of the year sales posters plastering our windows, nothing brightens up our day like hosting a good gift-giving operation! Every year, we have a collection of customers who give the best gift you can give - a new ride!  This year, it started a little early, with a pre-Thanksgiving Christmas gift to High School Senior Joey Thornton. Joey's parents hunted through our pre-owned lot for the perfect truck to gift to their son with Internet Sales Representative Larry Shuler.  Considering Joey's plans to attend Georgia Tech next fall, they wanted to ensure the vehicle was in good shape, and would safely transport their second eldest back and forth to school.  When Larry showed them the 2004 Ford Explorer Adrenaline with hard bed cover and only 44,000 miles, they knew they'd found it.  Thus began the elaborate plan to surprise Joey with his first vehicle - and the whole family showed up to see his face!  Financed with the help of Grandma and Grandpa Thornton, we detailed the truck, equipped it with some new tires, assessed the trade-in, and placed the perfect giant bow on the hood. It was difficult for the family to hide behind our tinted windows and watch Joey arrive with his girlfriend and father in the trade-in, bubbling with excitement, cam corder charged and held at the ready.  We watched through the window as Joey's dad gestured at the truck, parked front and center, golden blow catching a soft breeze. Joey assessed the vehicle, and family burst through the doors.  Surprise and confusion clouded the 18-year-old's face as he took in his mom, younger sisters, older brother, Milton Ruben employees, cameras, and keys extended toward him. Realization dawned with a "what?!" as the keys were placed into his palm. With a dozen sales representatives, finance managers, and sales managers looking on, smiling with joy, Joey climbed into his new truck, Internet Sales Representative Larry Shuler pointing out features here and there. Employees slowly dispersed to tend to their jobs, a little brighter at seeing a family so happy, as the Thorntons gathered for a photo-op, discussing celebratory dinner plans. Nothing makes us happier than making our customers happy - especially in this time of year.  We would love to make your gifting experience special, so allow us to help!  Our certified Sales Teams will make sure you choose the perfect car for your loved one, and will go above and beyond to ensure the gift is delivered for supreme reaction that you and your loved ones will remember for years to come.   Call us at 706-868-0588 to start your gifting process, or check out our online inventory and chat with a certified sales person at www.drivebaby.com.   Happy Holidays!

Back in the day, when it was time to buy a vehicle, you had two choices: Pay the price for security of knowing everything that has happened to your car as its first owner, or save money and take a risk on a vehicle that may or may not "have a history." But what if there was an option that gave you the greenest grass on both sides of the automotive fence? Ladies and gentlemen, the Chrysler Certified vehicle - a pre-owned price for a reliable car without the shady past. But what exactly makes a pre-owned vehicle “ certified?” For Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram products, the Certified Program has a pretty high bar. “We won’t accept a vehicle into the Certified Program unless it’s in the best condition possible,” says Chrysler, Inc. Certified Pre-Owned Sales Manager Scott Turnbull.  “There aren’t any doubts about these cars - we make sure of it.” And we do that by having our certified technicians inspect every aspect of a recent model vehicle before we put it out on our line. They have to be thorough, and careful, because that vehicle also comes with a warranty.  If there’s anything out of place, the vehicle won’t be approved to wear that “ Certified Pre-Owned” flag in its window. The Chrysler Certified Pre-Owned Program offers you benefits such as: Thorough 125-point vehicle inspection by Chrysler certified or authorized technicians. 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and 3-Month/3,000-Mile Maximum Care Warranty, measured from original vehicle in-service date 24-Hour Towing and Roadside Assistance There aren’t many better ways to shop on the pre-owned side of the fence, when you have a manufacturer guarantee.  It certainly beats sketchy meetings in grocery store parking lots with the faceless folks you met on ChadsAutoIndex.com, doesn’t it?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Chevrolet Certified vehicle - a pre-owned price for a reliable car without the shady past.   But what exactly makes a pre-owned vehicle “certified?” For Chevrolet products, only the best of the best in better condition will do.  And then we throw a few extras like OnStar and XM Radio on top - just because we can. “It’s like buying new for a used price,” says Chevy Certified Sales Manager Mark Wilson. “It’s really that simple.  It’s security, and its guaranteed.” We secure that guarantee by having our certified technicians inspect every aspect of a recent model vehicle before we put it out on our line. They have to be thorough, and careful, because that vehicle also comes with a warranty.  If there’s anything out of place, the vehicle won’t be approved to wear that “Certified Pre-Owned” flag in its window. The Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned Program offers you benefits such as: Thorough 172-point vehicle inspection by Chevrolet certified or authorized technicians. 24 Hour Roadside Assistance, 7 days a week. 2 Year / 24,000 Mile Standard CPO Maintenance plan, 5 year / 100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty from the original in-service date and a 12 month / 12,000 mile GMC bumper to bumper limited warranty with no deductible. Also backed by a 3 day / 150 mile Satisfaction Guarantee. Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation for the period of 5 years / 100,000 miles which ever comes first, from the original in-service date. All XM - equipped GMC Certified Used Vehicles come with three trial months of "XM Everything." All digitally equipped GMC Certified Used Vehicles are eligible for 3 trial months of OnStar Directions & Connections® including OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation.
