At United Auto Sales, giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do. This August, our dealerships came together for our 2nd Annual Backpack & School Supplies Drive—and we’re thrilled to share the impact it made!
With generous donations collected across all eight of our dealerships, we were able to purchase and deliver over 500 backpacks, each filled with essential school supplies, to local elementary students. Our goal was simple: to help students in need start the school year strong and on the right foot—and thanks to our team and community, we did just that.
One Friday, a dedicated group of our employees rolled up their sleeves and spent the day packing the backpacks with everything a student might need:
- Notebooks
- Folders
- Pencils
- Crayons
- A ruler
- Glue sticks
- Erasers
- Highlighters
- A pencil pouch
Each dealership then proudly donated the backpacks to local schools in their community:
- United Auto Sales, Steet Ponte VW, Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln, Steet Ponte Mazda, Steet Toyota of Yorkville, and Steet Ponte Nissan: 250 backpacks to the Utica City School District
We are incredibly proud of our team and grateful for everyone who contributed to make this initiative possible. Education is one of the most powerful tools for a brighter future, and we’re honored to support local students as they head back into the classroom this school year.
Here’s to another successful drive—and to continuing our tradition of giving back to the communities we serve!
The Frontier is a powerful, reliable, good-looking mid-sized pickup that’s earned plenty of awards for sheer bang-for-your-buck value. When you opt for a pre-owned Nissan Frontier, you get even more value, skipping the first few years of depreciation to enjoy a considerable discount on a truck that will perform wonderfully for many years to come.
Exceptional Durability
As any Frontier owner knows, these trucks don’t let you down. When well-maintained, your Frontier can be expected to last 200,000 miles with ease, which is more than two decades for some drivers. Given this extraordinary durability, it makes perfect sense to buy a used model that’s only a few years old; many used Frontiers are still in their youth and only just getting started.
Vehicle History Reports
You can rest assured as to the quality of a used Frontier. We run each model through a thorough multipoint inspection, testing every performance aspect, before accepting it onto our lot. On top of this, you can readily access a detailed vehicle history report from a reputable service like VINCheck or CARFAX. These reports let you know how well the previous owner carried out routine maintenance and generally took care of the truck.
Hefty Upfront Discounts
All cars and trucks, even those still in like-new condition, undergo steep depreciation during the first few years. This means, as the used-truck buyer, you may find 30, 40, and even 50 percent discounts on a used Frontier. Your insurance costs will also be lower, making for a very wise financial decision.
More Variety in Configurations
When considering used Frontiers, you’ll see that you have more variety in your options than with new models. Prior owners have typically already installed advanced features and upgrades, creating interesting configurations suited for specific tasks and preferences. So as you browse pre-owned models, you’re more likely to find just the right Frontier and features for you.
Powerful Towing and Payload Capacity
The Frontier is well-known as a reliable workhorse of a pickup. Its powerful 3.8-liter V6 engine delivers 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, allowing for excellent towing capacities. When properly equipped, top Frontier trims can tow up to 6,690 pounds and carry a maximum 1,620 pounds of payload. For a mid-sized truck, the Frontier can handle impressively difficult jobs.
Old School Charm and Style
Finally, let’s not forget how good-looking and downright charming the Frontier is. Many drivers love the Frontier for its old-school appeal, with a design that harkens back to an earlier era. Like a reliable lifelong friend, the Frontier’s forthright, solid, dependable character and performance keep you feeling well-supported wherever you go.
Visit United Auto Sales of Utica in Yorkville, NY, today to find the perfect used Frontier at a very competitive price.

Steet Ponte Auto Group Proudly Sponsors the First Annual Putts for a Purpose Charity Golf Tournament
June 27th | Pine Hills Golf Club | Frankfort, NY
The Steet Ponte Auto Group was proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of the First Annual Putts for a Purpose Charity Golf Tournament, held on Friday, June 27th at Pine Hills Golf Club in Frankfort, NY. What began with a goal of raising $10,000 for local charities quickly turned into a huge community win—over $11,000 was raised during this incredible day on the course!
Organized by Scott and Kelly Grates, hosts of the Love Living Local 315 podcast, the tournament was designed to spotlight and support the heart of our community—local charities and small businesses that often fly under the radar but make a major impact. Love Living Local 315 has become a must-listen for anyone who wants to discover hidden gems and meaningful stories across the Mohawk Valley.
We were thrilled to not only sponsor this event but also to send a team of our own out to participate in the tournament. Representing the Steet Ponte Auto Group were:
- Dan DeLuke, Auto Group Social Media Content Creator & Coordinator
- Nate Smith, of Steet Ponte Nissan
- Jason Coleman & Dan Hermann of Steet Toyota of Yorkville
The team brought the competitive spirit and camaraderie that make this community so special! As part of our sponsorship, we also offered a thrilling hole-in-one prize on Hole #14—a 2025 Ford Mustang Convertible—which certainly turned heads throughout the day.
One of the highlights of this tournament was that half of the funds raised—$5,500—will be donated to the MVHS Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network division, a cause very close to the Steet family’s heart. The Steet family has proudly supported the Children’s Miracle Network since 1989. This national nonprofit works to raise funds for local children’s hospitals to help provide critical treatments, equipment, and services to children in need—ensuring that kids across the region have access to the best possible care, close to home.
We extend our deepest thanks to Scott and Kelly Grates for organizing such a meaningful and well-executed event, and to everyone who came out to support the cause. We’re already looking forward to next year!
And don’t forget to tune into Love Living Local 315 in July for a special podcast episode featuring Carly Steet Mathias and Joe Steet Jr., siblings and co-owners of the Steet Ponte Auto Group, as they talk about the importance of local giving, community involvement, and family business.

The Used Ford Edge: A Midsize SUV with Big Benefits
Urban and suburban families in need of a reliable daily driver often turn to a used Ford Edge. With features like a spacious cabin, a large cargo area, and strong engine options, this midsize SUV checks all the boxes for versatility.
Capable Engine
All third-generation Ford Edges, which were produced between 2015 and 2024, come with either an EcoBoost inline-4 or an EcoBoost V6. SE, SEL, and Titanium models feature the inline-4 engine, which generates up to 250 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. This translates to a towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs. For a more horsepower-rich driving experience, ST models offer the V6 engine with 335 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque.
Roomy Cabin
Six-foot-tall passengers have no trouble fitting inside the Ford Edge thanks to an abundance of seating space. All third-generation Edge SUVs seat up to five, with an incredible 42.6 inches of front-row legroom and 40.6 inches of rear-row legroom. They also provide a generous 40.2 inches of front-row headroom and 40.3 inches of rear-row headroom.
Even with everyone comfortably seated, a Ford Edge’s cabin provides a whopping 41.7 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats to store luggage. Folding the second row expands the storage space to 74.8 cubic feet, preparing the SUV to haul camping gear, furniture, or other sizable payloads.
Upscale Comfort
Depending on the model year and trim level, creature comforts you can find in pre-owned Ford Edge include leather seat upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and front and rear cupholders. Some models also feature a Panoramic Vista Roof to open up the sky during family adventures.
Models produced after 2021 come with the latest tech features to entertain passengers and enhance convenience. Inside every post-2021 Ford Edge, you will find a 12-inch infotainment screen with SYNC 4A, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM, and natural voice recognition. Other tech luxuries found in Ford Edges include wireless phone charging, multiple USB charging ports, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. In some models, you will also find a premium Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker audio system.
Lower Cost
Pre-owned Ford Edges cost significantly less than any brand-new vehicle you’ll find at a dealership. That lower price means that you can opt for a higher trim level while still keeping your auto loan payments low. Additionally, used vehicles come with lower insurance premiums, which further helps you keep your monthly payments down.
Looking for a family hauler? Choose a pre-owned Ford Edge for unmatched cabin comfort and everyday versatility. Visit us at United Auto Sales of Utica in Yorkville, NY to explore our lot and find your ideal used Edge in pristine condition.
