Happy Tech Tuesday everyone! It’s that time of year when traveling is taking place, and one of the most important things to consider is the air in your tires. Properly inflated tires can save as much as 11 cents per gallon of fuel and extend the tires by 4,700 miles. Nissan offers an awesome technology called Easy Fill Tire Alert that works to make sure that you fill the perfect amount every time. The horn sounds once you reach the correct pressure, so there is no more guessing. That way, you can hit the road knowing you are secure and safe! # techtuesday # tirepressuremonitoringsystem # nissan

The Award-Winning 2016 Nissan Murano

The leading midsize crossover vehicle on the market is the 2016 Nissan Murano. We could stop right there, couldn’t we?

We won’t. Nissan didn’t. In a June 2016 article, Nissan News USA released the news that the 2016 Nissan Murano was named one of the “10 Best Family Cars” by Parents Magazine and Edmunds.com for the second straight year. Okay, okay, you want to know, “what does that mean to me?” Here’s what it means; you can relax knowing when you purchase this midsize crossover leader, you are selecting one of the safest vehicles. It is also one of the best designed, and well-equipped vehicles on the market. It has everything you need for the next family vacation, business trip, or everyday errands in town.

The 2016 Nissan Murano is offered in four grade levels: S, SV, SL, and Platinum. Each is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

If you choose the Murano SV grade, it adds navigation, 8-way driver/4-way front passenger power seats, 8.0-inch color monitor with multi-touch control, remote engine start, leather-wrapped steering wheel, fog lights, roof rails and more on top of what the S grade offers.

The Murano SL models add leather-appointed seating, Bose® audio with 11 speakers including two subwoofers, Blind Spot Warning, Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection, heated front seats, heated outside mirrors, driver’s seat memory and much more.

If it is luxury you desire, the Nissan Murano Platinum grade includes 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, LED headlights, climate-controlled front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel with power tilt, telescoping, and memory, and power-folding 2nd-row seats.

The Platinum grade leads the way in luxurious midsize crossover vehicles.

With either level you choose, you will be choosing a midsize crossover vehicle that has won more awards in the past year than any other vehicle in its class.

Now, where can you buy? Where can you test drive your next Nissan?

You can visit our showroom or call to schedule your test drive. But, we’ll let you in on a secret: With our up front, no hassle pricing, you will appreciate the ease of the buying process.

Visit www.BondysNissan.com to complete the bulk of the process online, if you wish. From valuing your trade, getting pre-qualified for financing, to selecting your vehicle to meet your exact needs and desires, you can save time shopping online.

Nothing you can see or do online will replace the feeling you will have the moment you sit behind the wheel of your new vehicle. Nothing can replace the feeling you have on your first drive. When you wrap your hands around the soft, leather steering wheel, seated in ergonomically designed (and comfortable, if we say so ourself) seats, taking in the new car smell, the experience will be one you’ll never forget.

We almost forgot to mention the unmatched, market best warranty: How do 36 months or 36,000 miles sound? Or for the powertrain warranty, 60 months or 60,000 miles?

Structure your deal online, schedule a test drive, enjoy the ride.

Millions of Americans buy new Nissan automobiles every year. Millions more purchase certified pre-owned vehicles across the United States. Have you seen the “Certified Pre-Owned” Seal? Have you wondered, “W hat is the big deal with the “CPO” status?”

Certified Pre-Owned means that the manufacturer has provided a warranty on the automobile. Yes, the manufacturer stands behind the vehicle with a solid warranty.

For many reasons, you may be considering purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from Bondy’s Nissan. Maybe you are considering purchasing a particular make or model. Bondy’s Nissan has the resources to locate you the specific vehicle you are seeking should it not be in our large inventory of pre-owned vehicles.

Our Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles at Bondy’s Nissan pass a rigorous series of inspections.

The 2016 Nissan Titan XD: Not Your Average Truck

The 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve Edition is the dream truck of truck owners in America. Before I get started, if you haven’t seen the one at our location in Dothan, you need to come by and take a drive. You won’t regret it. The Nissan Titan has established itself as a leader among its competitors in the truck line. There are options, but when it comes to toughness, comfort, practicality, technology, and reliability. Did I mention safety? Let’s take a quick look at the 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve Edition, from The Driver’s Seat at Bondy’s Nissan.

With 311 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, over 12,000 of towing capacity, safety features galore, a comfortable interior, Rockford Fosgate speakers and sound; power, good looks, strength, and safety, it is the best of all worlds.

Then there’s the issue of interior cabin space. There is plenty of space in the front part of the cabin and the rear seat for your passengers. There is enough room for three adults in the back with comfortable levels of leg room, bags, and other items as needed.

The front cabin area has your standard equipment, roomy leg room and space. Then, add the premium sound, visually appealing interior dash design, nice leather seats, you will feel like royalty. Now, we could stop right there and have everything you could dream of in a truck. Nissan didn’t stop there.

There are many safety features that come with the Platinum Reserve Edition trim level of the Nissan Titan XD. For one, the airbags, the backup and parking assist cameras, and the navigation screen are great value additions. One of the issues I have discovered when shopping for vehicles in the past is that they seem to be the same, across the board.

The 2016 Nissan Titan XD is in a class of its own. It has the power, the class, safety features galore, and so much more. It comes loaded with the entertainment features you have always wanted that benefit if you have children or long rides. You will be more than pleased with the amount of power in the Cummings 5.0 V8 Turbodiesel engine, and, the smell of the interior leather, that doesn’t fade.

So, here’s my final take on the 2016 Nissan Titan XD Platinum Reserve Edition: It is the best buy for any truck. It has everything you need, and everything you want. You can drive it today when you visit our showroom at Bondy’s Nissan.

It doesn’t matter if you need a truck for the farm, the road, or the family, the 2016 Nissan Titan XD has everything you could imagine.

Use these tips to get the most out of your trips

The summer season brings a ton of good times. Many enjoy trips to the beach, ball games, vacations, trips to the lake, theme parks, and more. So what can you do to have the best time on your next trip before school starts back?

Yes. I said that. We are about a month from the start of a new school year. If you have children that attend public or private schools, maybe that thought makes you celebrate. Maybe you don’t have children.

If you do, when was the last time you had to find a way to pack luggage into a vehicle that was too small?

What about worrying about breaking down on the side of the road. That is certainly an uncomfortable thought.

At Bondy’s Nissan, we want to give you more than the best car buying experience in the world. We want to give you more than the best service after the sale. We want you to be safe, enjoy your summer trips, and do it in style.

Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your summer vacations:

1.) Under the Hood: Before taking off on that long road trip, pop the hood and check the engine oil, transmission fluid, and engine coolant. Pro Tip: Bring your vehicle by the Bondy’s Nissan service department for a tune-up and we will check your fluids for you.

2.) Check Your Tires: One of the most dangerous hazards to vehicle occupants and drivers is a tire blowout. Match that with high speeds and you have a recipe for disaster. Checking the tread depth of your tires and the air pressure can save you gas money, but more importantly, it could save your life. Pro Tip: Our premier service department will check all of this for you when you have your next service performed at Bondy’s Nissan.

3.) Speed Limit? I Don’t Need a Speed Limit: There’s not a lot of things that can ruin a good vacation like a speeding ticket. Leave early, plan for traffic delays, relax and enjoy the trip. There are many more consequences to speeding than just a ticket. Take the time, slow down, and drive safely.

4.) Don’t Take Everything: It is difficult to walk away from your residence and not take everything you own. The feeling you have when you get away from home and think you forgot something can only be matched by realizing you didn’t bring your toothbrush. If you cannot get it all in one bag or suitcase, leave it behind. Plan ahead, prepare, then pack.

5.) Don’t Press Send: There isn’t a message you need to read or send that is worth losing your life, the life of your passengers, or another motorist. Please, pay attention to the roadway if your responsibility is driving. Resist the temptation to text or read the text while you are behind the wheel. Pro Tip: There are many apps (Android and Apple) available that will help you avoid this while you are driving. Consider using these tools!)

Don’t ignore the warning lights on your dashboard, but, don’t ignore the warning lights after several hours of driving either. If you are having trouble staying awake, find a safe place to stop, get out, stretch your legs, and take a break. The best option is to have someone help you drive. Consider breaking your long trips into smaller segments for travel.

Enjoy your summer vacations, traveling, and trips. But please, do so safely, watch for motorcycles, and don’t text and drive.

This message brought to you by your friends at Bondy’s Nissan.
