There’s an old saying, “There’s nothing more useless than an unloaded gun.” Wondering how this applies to cars? I’ll feed you baby birds, just stick with me.

That old adage helps bring me to my main point, and that is that anything fully loaded is better than unloaded. The big problem here is who has the money to fully trick out their car and brag about it being fully loaded? Usually I would have to say, very few people indeed, but not now my friends.

Introducing the new Hyundai Veloster, and what you can do with it for under 25 grand. What looks like something out of a Fast and Furious movie, or at least before all the decals, the blue fire out of the tail pipe, and the strangely clad women, is actually your ticket to ride the fully loaded train.

Starting at just a shade over seventeen grand, the new configurator on Hyundai’s website states that even with destination fees, you’re still pulling off the lot for about twenty three six. Not too shabby for anything to be fully loaded now is it?

Even if you throw the fancy wheel upgrade, and splurge on the floormats, you are still going to come away with a fancy car for the price of a modest sedan. Granted you could go down to the Fast and OH SO Furious mart and spend your life savings, but the really nice thing is you really don’t have to.

Peoria, used cars are done with. Cash for clunkers was a flop and nowadays anyone can drive a new car. Unless you’ve got ten grand to drop on some old used car, you’re still going to wind up with a payment eventually. You might as well be proud of what you’re paying for. If you bring us your current car here in Peoria, used Hyundai dealerships across the country, just like us, will help you trade up into the new 2012 Hyundai Veloster. Think about this. If you have a decent trade, imagine driving out the door with a fully loaded Veloster for less than 20 grand. That isn’t even factoring in a down payment along with your trade.
