Delivering cars to customers around the world
Toyota cars are sold in countries all around the world.
Dealers then provide customers with the best service possible.
Toyota cars are sold in countries all around the world. About half the cars sold in other countries are made locally. However, Toyota also exports vehicles to countries that don't have Toyota factories, or places that don't make certain models.
Scenes of an overseas dealer
In Japan, Toyota cars are sold by four different channels of dealers: Toyota Dealers, Toyopet Dealers, Toyota Corolla Dealers and Netz Dealers. Also, Lexus cars are sold by Lexus Dealers. At the dealer, salespeople ask the customers about their preferences, including model, color, and seat material, and place a production order with the factory. The car is delivered from the factory about four weeks after the order is placed. But the customer may have to wait a little while longer if there are more orders than expected. Dealers don't just sell cars--they also perform maintenance, repairs, and careful service to make sure the cars stay safe.
