2014 Chevy Volt


If we were asked to sum up the new 2014 Chevrolet Volt in one sentence, it would be “the best of both worlds”. This vehicle combines cutting edge electric technology with traditional gasoline power, making it “electric when you want it, and gas when you need it”.

The the Volt starts at $34,185, and with an available federal tax grant of up to $7,500, you can own a new Chevrolet Volt for as low as $26,685, making it affordable to the family living in Whitesboro, Texas. And with its advanced lithium-ion battery, you can drive your Chevrolet Volt to McKinney without filling up! But let’s say you wanted to drive from Whitesboro to Paris, Texas. No problem! Drive the first 38 miles gas-free, and then the fuel will automatically switch over from electricity to gasoline.

The battery has an estimated range of 38 miles on a full charge, and comes with an outstanding 8-year/100,000-mile limited warranty. And when it comes to charging, the Volt can be scheduled to charge only at certain times of the day when electricity rates are lower, to help you make the most of every dollar. Regardless of where you need to drive - locally or on an extended trip, the Chevrolet Volt will suit your needs. And with most owners averaging 900 miles between fill-ups, you’ll save a fortune on gas bills!

Not only is the Volt good for the environment, it’s also easy on the eyes. Like all of the vehicles in the 2014 Chevrolet line, it’s sleek, smooth, aerodynamic and ready for the road! When it comes to the interior, the Volt is well equipped with the latest technology, such as two interactive color LCD screens that provide feedback on the efficiency of your driving styles.

The Chevrolet Volt has also led the way in swiping up numerous awards, such as Kelley Blue Book’s “10 Best Green Cars of 2013” and “Lowest Cost of Ownership.” J.D. Power and Associates presented the volt with an awards for “Vehicle Appeal Among Compact Cars”, and Consumer Guide hailed it a “2013 Best Buy”. Not to mention the 5-Star Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Take a Look at the 2014 Chevy Cruze, a Compact Sedan That Starts at $17,170

The 2014 Chevrolet Cruze is an affordable compact sedan that is sure to go beyond your expectations. The Cruze has more cargo space, more technology, more connectivity—more of everything! It’s sleek, stylish, and comes packed with tons of options and features to choose from. It’s also the first car in its class with 10 standard airbags, making it one of the safest cars on the road with a 5-star overall score from NHTSA. If you are a parent looking for a safe car for your kids to drive in McKinney traffic, the Chevrolet Cruze may be the perfect choice for you.

The Cruze is one of the most tested vehicles in Chevrolet history, which is why we have no problem offering a 100,000-mile/5-year transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty. Before we let it hit the streets of Paris, Texas, we tested it all over the world, in some of the most extreme conditions we could think of. The Cruze was driven continuously in the heat of the Arabian Desert, the intense moisture of Thailand, and the high altitude of the Swiss Alps, and it held up very well.

It doesn’t matter whether you live in Highland Park or Whitesboro, Texas, the new Chevrolet Cruze will make you one of the most stylish AND sensible drivers on the road. The standard 6-speed manual transmission in the Cruze LS offers up to 36 MPG highway, and there’s also an available automatic version that offers as much as 38 MPG on the highway. For even higher performance, check out the Cruze Eco. It’s more aerodynamic, and delivers greater fuel efficiency (42 MPG highway) without sacrificing performance. Finally, the Cruze Turbo Clean Diesel offers the greatest fuel efficiency at 46 MPG highway. This is just another great option available on the new 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. And you don’t worry about emissions either—the diesel version emissions are well below strict U.S. environmental standards.

A brief history of Paris, Texas, and the case for buying a new vehicle from Ramey Chevrolet

Paris, Texas is located less than 100 miles from the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex, at the edge of the Piney Woods region of Texas in Lamar County. With a population of more than 25,000, Paris is one of the larger cities in Northeast Texas and the “Second Largest Paris in the World”. In his 1998 book “The New Rating Guide to Life in America’s Small Cities,” Kevin Heubusch ranked Paris as the “best small town in Texas”. Paris is home to a variety of historical landmarks, including a 70-foot replica of the Eiffel Tower, topped with a big red cowboy hat.

Once a major cotton exchange, the largest employer in Paris is now Essent Healthcare, which operates the Paris Regional Medical Center. Outside of healthcare, the largest employers in the city are Kimberly-Clark paper products and Campbell’s Soup. Paris is bordered by the Loop 286, which runs in a complete circle around the city. The inner portion of the city is served by the Paris Independent School District, while the northern and southern portions of the city outside of the beltway are served by the North Lamar Independent School District and Chisum Independent School District, respectively. Secondary eduction is provided by Paris Junior College.

What makes Paris such a desirable city to live in is the fact that it is not far from the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex, yet it still maintains a small town feel. Many residents commute in their Chevrolets, from Paris to the northern suburbs of Dallas via State Highway 82 for a higher level of shopping, dining and entertainment than what is currently offered in Lamar County. State Highway 82 takes commuters directly into the city of Sherman, where Ramey Chevrolet is located (just south of Hwy. 82 on US 75 at Lamberth Road). Ramey is a great choice for a new or used vehicle, and offers a wider range of selection than what is available in Paris. If you are on the hunt for a new or used Chevrolet, consider making the short drive from Paris to Sherman today; we will make it worth the drive!

A brief look at the history and growth of McKinney, Texas

McKinney, Texas is a suburban community on the northeast end of the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. With a population of 131,117 in 2010, McKinney is the second largest city in Collin County (behind Plano) and the nineteenth largest city in Texas. McKinney experienced moderate growth between 1970 and 1990, but began to grow very quickly beginning in 1990 and continuing on into the 2000’s. The 2013 estimate puts McKinney’s population at 141,000. The U.S. Census Bureau officially recognized McKinney as the fastest growing city in the nation from 2000 to 2003, and again in 2006, among cities with populations of 50,000 or greater. An unofficial survey shows that many new residents of McKinney prefer to drive Chevrolet vehicles.

It is appropriate that McKinney is the county seat of Collin County, as the city and county are both named for Collin McKinney, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, and a congressman who represented the Red River District of the Republic of Texas. The current motto of the city of McKinney is “Unique by Nature”. While the city has experienced tremendous growth, many natural features, greenbelts and trees have been preserved. The city is also home to many parks and natural and artificial lakes.

The September 2012 edition of CNN’s Money magazine ranked McKinney as the second best place to live in the United States, and it was the only city in Texas to make the top ten. With much new residential and commercial growth, McKinney is a great community to live in.

McKinney is known for top-notch education as well, being primarily served by the McKinney Independent School District. Some western areas of the city are served by the neighboring Frisco or Prosper Independent School Districts, while the furthermost southern areas are served by the Allen Independent School District. Schools in McKinney include McKinney High School, McKinney North High School and Boyd High School. Both McKinney and McKinney North have ranked on national lists within the past ten years. McKinney is also home to Serenity High School, the oldest substance abuse recover high school in Texas, founded in 1999. The city is served by several middle and elementary schools as well, many with high rankings.

If you are looking to purchase a new home in McKinney, you will probably want to get a new car as well. Ramey Chevrolet is just a short drive from McKinney, and offers top-notch service and competitive prices.
