Dealerships are getting desperate

Ran across this on Facebook. Toyota dealership ad in Natchez, Mississippi.

 

So we're lead to believe they're going to sell for over MSRP on used cars to make money after reconditioning? I'm not buying it. Sales tactic.

 

Oh I agree. 100%. It was just an interesting ad while scrolling through. Intersting part is I don't live near Natchez (about 3-4 hr drive away).

 

It looks like the catch is the base price part. A TRD Sport might have been $30k+ but a base Tacoma is like $18k

 

Offering UP to 100% includes $5

 

Until they've reached 50 units, "oh I'm sorry you're #51" what do we got to do to put you in a new truck today?

SCAM!

 

Good catch! Nearly any vehicle these days can be outfitted with thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars of trim and tech upgrades. Another factor is ;I doubt many buy the complete base, so their risk in offering is very low, but of course they'd make so much on buying an OR with tech for base, they're still way up.

This we'll pay ya more for your used scheme is nothing new.

 

Hahah, 10c to 55c adjustments for mileage. So nowhere near MSRP unless you have 0 miles

 

There’s the catch “mileage adjustment”...MSRP 39,743 less .55x 54,000 miles 29,700 your offer is $10,053. Lol

 

There’s a sucker born every minute.

 

My payment is only $235 for 498 months, let's go to the trails!

 

true it IS a sale tactic.................more so in favor of the Stealer !

i shopped for months every marque
thought i could find a cherry turn in ......used Tacoma

was told by EVERY.............not an exaggeration

to buy NEW the cheaper / Better deal

bought my ' SR ' 19 was given a good deal by Stealer

they make MORE $$$$$ from a greater % markup on used

 

hahahahaha my coworker was talking about this yesterday. he was all excited because he wants to upgrade his corolla to a taco but I told him be weary and check out the details - there are usually a con to get you into payments on a new car.

 

Glad I read this thread , I was all packed and headed to Mississippi . Thought it was my lucky day and was going to drive 100 mph too .

 

I would have bought two with that deal!

 

498 months !?!?!?!?!?

 

Haha - UP TO 100 percent. Lol. Then, per the ad, they will subtract $0.10 to $0.55 per mile on the odometer.

I have a near perfect condition 2015 with only 38k miles. Original MSRP was $32,000. Subtract $0.55 per mile would leave me buyback of $11,100 — which is waaaaay below the actual trade in value. Sign me up!!

 

Sarcasm, it's all sarcasm

 

I never considered a shutdown of auto auctions. That would definitely explain the lack of used inventory.
