2020 has been a tough year for folks across British Columbia, and we know that many of our community members are trying to find ways to save money where they can. For those who are shopping for a dependable car, truck or SUV, but also working within a tight budget, it’s time you learned about one of the automotive industry’s best kept secrets: dealership demo vehicles. If you’re ready to score a great vehicle at an unbeatable price with Castlegar Toyota, then read on to learn more about our dealer demos!
A dealer demo is simply a vehicle that a dealership acquires and uses primarily for test drives. It might be driven by dealership employees so that they can get a good feel for the vehicles that they sell, used in photos, or put on a pedestal in front of the dealership for advertising. One of the major differences between a dealer demo and a used car is that demo vehicles have never been sold to a customer, so they are still considered “new.” These cars typically have very low mileage and are sold at discounted prices, making them a major steal for those on a budget.
Everybody loves a great deal, and there are plenty of reasons why you should consider purchasing a demo car from Castlegar Toyota:
• Dealership demos are only driven by staff and sometimes for test drives, so they typically have low mileage - 5000 km or less is average.
• These cars have never been sold to a customer, so you would still be considered the first true owner. It’s like getting a like-new car for a used-car price!
• You may be able to get a newer model year than you typically would if you’re shopping on a tight budget. Similarly, dealership demo cars are often upper trim level models, so that drivers can test out all of Toyota’s impressive features. You might score some serious upgrades for a base-model price!
• Since demos are used for test drives, they receive regularly scheduled thorough detailing, leaving them in tip-top shape for a potential buyer.
At Castlegar, we believe it’s important for our staff to be familiar with the products we sell. We want them to have a thorough and genuine knowledge of the cars, trucks and SUVs in the Toyota lineup so that they can supply our customers with first-hand knowledge about each model. That’s why we bring in as many models as possible to use as dealership demos, and why we have such a wide variety of demo cars available to sell at incredible prices.
Our team is committed to upholding our Castlegar Toyota Pledge, no matter which vehicle you’re interested in purchasing. We treat every customer with the respect they deserve, and celebrate each sale - no matter how big or small - with the same level of enthusiasm. After all, purchasing a new Toyota vehicle is something to get excited about!
