In a statement, TMS America estimates will be achieved the highest increase in the range of 1.2 percent to 2.2 percent for Toyota, Lexus, while 0.8 percent to 2.1 percent. But Toyota also ensure some models will remain the price, including pickup Tacoma, Yaris, Scion TC sport-coupe, xB, Lexus LFA CT200h and the latest (2012).
New pricing, Toyota is clear, for cars manufactured or imported from Japan in May 2011 and is effective next May, including models that are marketed to North America.
Toyota spokesman Greg Thome deny that the price adjustment is due to industrial disputes due to natural disasters that occurred in Japan, March 11, 2011. "The decision to price adjustment on all models made prior to the catastrophic events that occurred recently in Japan,"said Thome.
Although evasive, natural disasters in Japan hit a landslide entire production network of Toyota brands around the world, including Indonesia. All the supply of components and units of cherry country to this day still has not been clearly made a number of the fret.
Besides Toyota, Nissan North America had already announced price increases last week. In addition to the disaster, strengthening of the yen against the U.S. dollar tuker create a headache for the Japanese automotive companies lose profits.
How To Repossess a Car
Repossession of a car can be a very stressful process for both parties involved. The consumer probably won't want to deal with you at all. Try to remain professional and don't get emotional over the phone or in writing as this can only lead to trouble. Try to keep an open dialogue with the consumer. You don't want to repo a vehicle that the consumer ends up trashing. The easiest way to repossess a vehicle is on paper. The hard part is left to the repo man if needed. I would recommend following the letter of the law and covering all your bases.
Said bases include:
Make sure you are listed as a lienholder on the automobile's title. To become a lienholder, you should have filed a notice of lien with the state, in Oklahoma, for example this would be at your local tag agency.
Have a valid cause to repossess the vehicle and have given legitimate notice to the consumer, varies from state to state, so check the regulations in your state as seen a range from 15 to 90 days. Some notices must be sent via certified mail also.
Create a repo affidavit. These can usually be obtained at the local tag agency or the state/county agency that issues vehicle registrations. Often the repo affidavit must be sent to the customer also. One completed copy should be given to the state agency also. Make sure to keep a copy for yourself.
State should issue a repo title and this gives you clear conscience to retrieve the vehicle from the consumer. Some states require just the repo affidavit, check with your local agency to be sure. Once a repo title is issued you are the legal owner of the vehicle.
Set up a time to collect the car with the consumer to turn over the vehicle and keys by offering a small incentive of limiting their bad credit exposure. Sometimes the cost to rekey a vehicle is more than the car is worth so be aware of this.
If the consumer is a no-show or unwilling to cooperate after due diligence on your part. Personally, I would give them a couple weeks. Hire a reputable repo company. Check with BBB.org in your local area.
Keep in mind that most state agencies that issue titles have local customer service numbers to help you. Take advantage of them, most are pretty helpful if you are flying blind. Check in the Government white pages under vehicle registrations/titles. Keep a concise and accurate paper trail of all your efforts, missed payments, transactions, calls, and attempts to reach customer for your own records. And of course followup with the credit agencies as promised.
Good luck...And stay professional..
