Best way to market the Tercel

Post by SpaceyPuppy »

Check out this video I found from a US Dealership that got a traded in '83 SR5. Looks in pretty nice condition too, wheels and minor paint marks excluded :lol:

actually I think that was posted here before. Still makes me laugh. someone has a sense of humor, though it seems a lot of trouble just to sell a trade-in econo-box. Most dealers would just turn it over to an auction yard. Perhaps someone at the dealer, the guy in the video, has a soft spot for these cars and volunteered to promo the car. Even if there would not be a large market for it, an entertaining video will bring a lot of curious customers just to see it, and then they can try and sell them something else. Gorilla marketing at it's best.
