Toyota called me today...

They don't want or need your cars. They need you to get a 2010 off the lot. Toyota is making them faster than they can sell them. Tell them you would be happy to sell the cars but don't need to buy a new one. I bet the offer goes to $0 in under 5 seconds.

 

I'm in.

 

Not to play devil's advocate, but does anyone think there is any validity in the fact that they probably have more margin of profit on used cars then they do on new cars?? Obviously, they make money on new cars as well, but isn't it well known that they make much more on used cars?

 

Now...for your entertainment, I present a likely scenario as told through our PriusChat emoticons:

(you) layball: .... :ranger:

(them) :wof: .... hone: .... :lie:

(you) :suspicious: .... :typing: .... :help:

(at dealer: them) :blah: .... :eyebrows:

(us) :tsk:

(you after in a 2010 Prius) :car: .... :whoo: , "Hey, why won't this thing slow down?? Why is it speeding up on it's own??"

....

:crutch:


(me) :nerd:

:focus:

 

I go to the dealership often for coffee and doughnuts, when confronted I just tell them I'll trade even, anytime. They never take me up on this, for some reason.......:cheer2:

 

Yes they Do! When I sold cars, I LOVED it when somebody switched from buying new to buying used. They use to call me the used car King LOL.
