Toyota of Smithfield asks fleet and vehicle owners to consider bringing in their older car or truck for more fuel-efficient models. General Manager John Durrani hopes those looking for inventory will bring in their used car to take advantage of several dealer incentives. “Anyone trading in either their used or certified pre-owned cars will receive an additional $1,000 over book value,” Durrani said. “There isn’t a better time for anybody to trade in their cars. Your trade is worth more than it ever has before, and it’s worth more than its ever going to be worth.” The dealership has back orders for weeks, and sometimes months on certain models. “The market has been ‘pretty crazy,’” Durrani shared. With few cars available on their lots, announcing trade-in bonuses has become very critical. Durrani said that people currently have the means to either purchase a new vehicle or one of the very few remaining used cars on their lots. That stems from several rounds of federal and state financial incentives mailed to families. The ask remains because of raised requests, he said. “We are appealing to the public for used vehicles. Simply put, we don’t have the inventory to adequately fulfill orders,” Durrani said. To help facilitate the need for more certified, pre-owned vehicles onto their lot, Toyota of Smithfield also offers 115% of the book value for any used cars. It does not matter whether the customer decides to purchase a car from their lot, Durrani said. “We will buy your trade, even if you don’t purchase a car from us,” he added. The dealership holds a monthly private sale. This month’s event is scheduled for Saturday, February 26 and Sunday, February 27, from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM, by appointment only. Those who attend will be expected to follow social guidelines but also have access to their inventory. Managers will be there to answer questions and offer additional incentives. Check with the dealership for dates and times. The Dealership’s Peace of Mind Purchase Process means no hassles over pricing, trade-in values, cash back and rebate incentives offered up front and the best available leasing and financing terms up front. Durrani said this is just part of the allaround, customer-driven experience he implemented to ensure the process does not get bogged down in miscommunication.
