Toyota of Smithfield continues asking the public and companies that either own or lease vehicles to trade them in for more efficient models to offset the current used car shortfall. General Manager John Durrani seeks the community’s help in bringing their used cars and reap some dealer incentives as their reward. “We are now giving anyone who comes in with their used or certified pre-owned cars an additional $1,000 over book value,” he 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.” Inventory continues to be problematic for dealers. The dealership is on back order for at least another six weeks on some models. Durrani said the market has been “pretty crazy”. With few cars on the lots, the on-going call for trade-ins have become crucial. Durrani said with stimulus checks still arriving in people’s mailboxes, that creates opportunities for people to either purchase a new vehicle or one of the few remaining used cars. He added the ask continues to mount as the demands increases. “There is a strong need for used vehicles, but we simply don’t have the inventory to accommodate them,” 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. “We will buy your trade, even if you don’t purchase a car from us,” he added. The dealership will hold its monthly private sale. This month’s event takes place on Friday, July 30 and Saturday, July 31, 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. 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.
