Read this in an Inquirer column today; confirmed na ba?

Yung Toyota Otis, matagal ko nang nakikitang nakadisplay na 2nd hand or trade-in units sa parking nila.

Sounds like a good idea. Even here in Japan, there are a lot of toyota dealerships specializing in selling used toyota units.

it works very well here in the US - official new car dealerships "certify" used cars (basically doing a careful inspection and replacing anything that isn't up to their standards) and sell them with an extended warranty.

people pay extra for the security of knowing that the car has been fully inspected and has a longer warranty (masama kasi reputation ng mga used car dealer dito eh)

almost all major companies do it here, not just Toyota

Yahoo... meron kayang second hand Altis? :car:

Toyota is in the best position to do such move because toyota is known for its good reliability.

The advantage for this kind of service is for them to be able to trade -in cars, and therefore, increasing their sales for brand new vehicles(to those who really like their cars brand new). With increasing numbers of second-hand imported cars which are relatively cheaper, toyota has positioned itself to compete with this car market segment.

The message here is that, first: they want to prove that toyota has maintained good following and patronage over the years even if its second-hand, and secondly: they want to say that they have better reliability to guarantee a Toyota-certified Used car.

newly open ang Toyota Pampanga dito samin
nagpunta yung friend ko to TRADE-IN his Ford Lynx so he will get a revo. di tinanggap.
mukhang same brand lang ang gusto nila.

ok to ah..is this because of the "free trade agreement? BMW, Ford and some car manufacturers have been doing this before.

i think they call it "Pre-owned" cars

wohoooo pag nag push thru ung free trade, JDM galore! :D

hmmmmm......interesting B). i wonder if this includes converted(RHD) cars as well. at least kung ung toyota mismo nagcoconvert e mas kampante ka.

Also, i think sa Japan they have this law that bans cars that are 5 years old and up; sayang naman
