Holy cow. So: 51k for the car. Toyota gives you 20k rebate if you buy using their 0% for 72 mo loan. Feds give you $8k. Ca gives you 4500. Toyota gives you six years of free fuel up to $15k worth.
net purchase price: $18.5. Minus the $15k in fuel and it's a $3500 car? With HOV lane benefits!?! It's almost challenge priced.
so if mr mr2s2000elise sells for 30k (a steal to any out of state buyer) he nets $10k each. Nice work.
the question is- did you give yourself the referral bonus?
There is also a Toyota loyal bonus. I bought a 2021 Tacoma (in the background) of the pics, and I have a LC200 new in the fleet, so with the loyalty bonus, car's price is cheaper than what you quoted.
I am just doing a quick volume. 10 cars max. Yes out of state buyer is incredibly excited and happy with the deal.
Profit wise, my bonus, on top of the cash outlay, is I get to keep all the tax credits, as original owner, AND I am getting 21 free rental days per car, that stays with me. 126 free rental car days :)
As I said, if photos worked, would line them up here at home, and post. If anybody can post pics, PM through the forum, and I will send them.
I sent to two GRM members via text, NEITHER (on both coasts) able to upload any photos.
Back in 2018/2019 Toyota did a similar deal. I had a friend who did 20 cars and made a quick profit. I was out of the country and couldn't capitalize.
Car is slow! Feels slower than my POS CT200H I had back in 2013. Full throttle on the onramp is a joke. However, due to it being Lexus LS based, incredibly smooth and quiet, unlike the garbage CT
