From time to time, I get great questions in from customers who are looking for vehicles specific to their special needs.  I know that many of you out there are looking for similar information, so I chose a few each month to post for everyone.  This week I received this great request from Shannon W. in Newport News:

Question:  From Shannon W.

Kelly, I have just started my own catering business and am in need of a vehicle to tote food, beverages, plate, silverware, etc.  I usually only take on smaller jobs, so, I do not want anything too big.  My friend suggested a conversion van, but I would like something much smaller that still offers enough room (and flat surface) to transport everything I need.  Oh, and not to make things too tricky, but I also have a two year old who would need plenty of room on days when I am not hauling my catering supplies.  Does Checkered Flag carry anything that would meet my needs at a reasonable price?



My Response:
 
You know Shannon, I think I have the perfect pick for your catering/family needs:  the Scion xB.  Now, it may sound funny at first, but I think that when you test it out at Checkered Flag Scion next week, you will see that it meets all of your needs and fits into your budget nicely.  I have had both a florist and another caterer purchase the xB for their small business, and both of them were shocked at how much space this value of a vehicle has.  The great thing about the xB is that it has a ton of room, completely fold-flat rear seats for toting all of your goodies, and it's still family friendly with top of the line safety features.  On top of that, it looks pretty cool and has plenty of room for advertising on the sides and rear!  Check out the photo below of the trunk space.  You should be able to transport everything for a catering business of your size as well as a passenger quite comfortably.  (Make sure to bring a few catering items with you to get a good idea of fit.) We will see you at the Checkered Flag Toyota Scion location on Va Beach Blvd next week for your test drive!  I'm sure you will be pleased.
