Frequently Asked Questions: Driving & Buying in Chicago
1. What are the best Toyota models for driving in Chicago winters?
For Chicago’s snowy winters and slushy city streets, the Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Highlander are top choices due to their available All-Wheel Drive (AWD) and Multi-Terrain Select systems. If you prefer a sedan, the Toyota Camry AWD offers the stability you need with the fuel efficiency of a commuter car.
2. Is it better to lease or buy a Toyota if I live in the Chicago area?
Leasing is often better for those who want lower monthly payments and want to upgrade to a new vehicle with the latest safety tech every few years. Buying is a great long-term investment if you drive more than 15,000 miles a year or want to eventually own the vehicle outright to build equity.
3. Do used Toyotas come with modern safety and technology features?
Yes! Most Toyota models from the last several years include Toyota Safety Sense™ as a standard feature. Even in our pre-owned inventory, you can frequently find used models equipped with Apple CarPlay®, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Pre-Collision systems.
4. What should I look for when buying a used Toyota in Chicagoland?
When shopping for a used Toyota near Chicago, check for a clean vehicle history report and ensure the car has undergone a multi-point inspection. Our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) models are especially popular because they come with an extended warranty and have passed a rigorous 160-point inspection.
5. Can I return my Toyota lease early at Advantage Toyota of River Oaks?
In many cases, yes. Whether you want to upgrade to the newest model or your driving needs have changed, our finance team can walk you through your lease-end options or early termination programs to help you transition into a vehicle that fits your current lifestyle.
