DECEMBER 2011 thEloCalDishMagazinE.CoM8


has been a banner year for Roger Hogan, Sr., owner of Capist-

rano Toyota, and 2012 looks to be even bigger. His family is growing early next year, so he’ll have two more grandchildren to include in his familiar “Oh, Baby! Where Great Deals are Born Every Day” ad cam-paign. Hogan’s dealership is heading toward a significant expansion, and

he’s beaming with excitement about Capo Toyota’s partnerships with the CARE Foundation, the Ocean Insti-tute and a host of other important local charities and organizations.

For every car sold in October, Cap-istrano Toyota promised to donate $100 toward breast cancer research. By Halloween, a whopping $43,600 in donations had been generated and Hogan couldn’t be happier. Also benefitting from Capo Toyota’s generosity is the CARE Foundation, which supports Capistrano Unified Schools. A donated Prius was raffled off in October for CARE (the second one this year!) at the “Taste for Edu-cation” event. Hogan says he’s been impressed with the foundation’s volunteers, who “give hundreds of hours of their own time” in the name of local children.

He also trumpets the efforts of Dana Point’s Ocean Institute, which educates over 100,000 students each year about marine science and

maritime history in hands-on labs. Capo Toyota recently pre-

sented its third Prius to the

Ocean In-stitute as part of

the “Million Dollar Home Giveaway” fundraiser.

Sharing his success with those who surround him seems to be Hogan’s favorite habit. He’s especially ani-mated when discussing his family. “They’re my reason to keep this go-ing,” he says, referring to the close-knit clan. “It’s a rarity when a parent gets to share not only his own suc-cess, but to share in the success of his sons. My sons have taken our business to a whole different level.”

Hogan credits the camaraderie of his loyal staffers—including many fam-ily members—with the dealership’s reputation for customer service ex-cellence. Capistrano Toyota is one of only a few local dealerships that is still family-owned and Hogan is convinced that this “family business” atmosphere makes a difference to buyers throughout the process of purchasing a new vehicle. “One can never undervalue customer service,” he asserts, “and it’s more important than ever now that customers have so many options. They just deserve a good experience.”

As exciting as this year has been for Capo Toyota, 2012 looks to be even bigger. The dealership is planning a

major expansion in April, when the showroom and service operation will have an additional two acres of breathing room. Capistrano Toyota will take over the adjacent property and have an opportunity to provide even more choices for customers. Hogan describes the renovation as “a move out of necessity” and is looking forward to providing even better customer service, a wider selection of new and pre-owned ve-hicles and a quicker turnaround time in the service department.

A “green” showroom is planned as one of the changes that will come with the larger dealership. With Toyota’s rollout of several new Prius models, the timing is ideal. Capo Toyota has already seen a surge in interest for these eco-friendly post-er-cars with the release this Fall of the Prius v. The highly-anticipated plug-in version is expected to ar-rive in the beginning of 2012—you can even pre-register online at www.capistranotoyotacars.com. The Prius c model will be smaller, light-er, sportier and more affordable- making it a great fit for the younger market. This latest incarnation is rumored to boast even higher gas mileage than current Prius models, which is—gasp!—50 MPG.

Special offerS0% financing on eight

Come offer your holiday greetings to the Hogans

and pick up a few shiny stocking stuffers

QUESTION: Why do I always feel so tired and down during the holidays? —Dawn, San Juan Capistrano

ROSS MEDICAL: The holidays are a wonderful time of year, but they can also be extra stressful. As we prepare to celebrate our respective holidays with our families, it is also particularly busy and we do not get the rest our bodies normally require. But along with the holiday stress, there could also be a medical condition called seasonal affective disorder that is causing your symptoms. Seasonal affective disorder is experienced by many

people and is due to the decrease in the amount of sunlight during the winter months. Usually, people experience fatigue and a depressed mood from November through February or March. Then during spring with the increase in the amount of sunlight, the symptoms will resolve. If a person has this clinical condition, there are a few different options of treatment. It is highly recommended that if you are experiencing these symptoms, that you go and have an evaluation by your healthcare provider. They have the necessary screening tools to evaluate seasonal affective disorder and can offer a few options on treatment. —Monica Geda, DO

Happy Holidays! As 2012 President of the Orange County Association of Realtors®—a professional trade organization representing 12,000 members from Huntington Beach to San Clemente—I am often asked about issues facing today’s home sellers and buyers. One of the most-talked-about issues these days is the “short sale.” A short sale occurs anytime a seller is forced to list and sell property for less than the outstanding mortgage. In effect, the seller is forced to “sell short” of the amount he or she owes the bank on the outstanding mortgage balance principle. In this situation, the bank plays a significant role and, in fact, becomes a co-seller because even though a bona fide offer has been accepted by the seller, the bank must also accept the offer as settlement of the amount owed to them before the transaction can close. The short sale not only takes time, it could raise critical deficiency and tax issues for the seller. To find out more about short sales or other real estate matters, please feel free to visit my website www.MEBanks.com or call me direct at (949) 248-9330.

Enjoy your Holidays and may they be filled with Love, Peace, and Joy!

the month of December. Bundle up, throw the kids in the sleigh and fly over to these local events!

Rock The boaTthe Boat Parade of Lights in Dana Point Harbor is sure to get the holiday party started with this year’s theme: “Santa Salutes the 70’s.” Boaters will deck their vessels in elaborate light displays and compete for prizes. View the parade from anywhere in the harbor or watch from one of the restau-rants. Be a part of the parade and reserve a spot on one of Dana Wharf Sportfishing’s boats and wave at the adoring crowds while you cruise. Visit www.danapointharbor.com for a parade application and for event informa-tion. The parade sets sail on December 9th, 10th, 16th and 17th.
