I still consider it preposterous to think any self-respecting dealership owner would buy cars from Toyota at a cost above where it sells to employees. Employees are buying one car, while dealerships are buying possibly hundreds. From a volume standpoint, which is Toyota's interest, it makes no sense. |
Dealership employees are not TMS employees.
I work at the corporate HQ of an international franchise. Store employees are employees of the store's owner and not corporate employees. They do not have access to the same benefits that I do.
Neither do the owners.
It's part of their compensation package as a corporate employee. Toyota needs to make money on the vehicles sold to dealerships but they may be willing to let vehicles go to their own employees at a much lower price.
I worked for Verizon Wireless for a time and paid about 50% of what a consumer pays for service and sometimes even less for equipment.
An employee of Wireless Zone or another retail store that resells the service of the big wireless companies will not get these benefits.
