KLM Builders to Offer Energy-Efficient Car with Purchase of a New Home


New home buyers can experience green living at home and on the road with the purchase of a new KLM home.  

Buyers of a new home will find a new 2012 Toyota Prius parked in their driveway at closing. A tremendous buyers’ incentive, KLM Builders, the leading builder of semi-custom to custom homes in McHenry County, is giving away a brand new eco-friendly car to each of the first 5 homebuyers at their Sunset Ridge and Thousand Oaks communities.

This car giveaway is possible through KLM Builders’ recent partnership with Pauly Toyota, a highly regarded auto dealership, serving residents of Northern Illinois. For a limited time only, 5 home buyers of a new KLM home at its Sunset Ridge or Thousand Oaks developments will receive a brand new 2012 Toyota Prius (MSRP of $24,985).   


“Our car event is just one way we are promoting eco-friendly living in Northern Illinois. New home buyers who benefit from this special car promotion will save money on both utility bills and fuel costs as a result of a healthier more energy-efficient lifestyle in their new home and in the car,” said Kim Meier, President of KLM Builders, Inc.

The new Prius model offers a host of new features, cleverly added to increase the car’s eco-friendliness. This hybrid vehicle has become synonymous with fuel efficiency and saving money at the pump with up to 50 miles per gallon, and recently earned ‘”2012 Best Green Car to Buy”’ recognition from GreenCarReports.com.
