Interesting Toyota Column

Good to see an article about this kinda stuff. I don't like SET at all.

If I lived in the Texas to Florida area, I would definitely buy a vehicle outside that area.

It's funny how I can buy a car outside the SET states for the same price that dealers will charge me in SET states.

I would bet that Toyota gives their distributors a larger discount than the dealers that buy from them directly. I'm guessing that Toyota absorbs some of the cost, basically a volume discount.

Toyota owes a lot to those distributors. They put Toyota on the map in the US when they couldn't sell squat here.

It would be nice to read an article with all the facts in it that wasn't so one sided...
