• 7:07
  Speaker 5: course we will take you can make some history too,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: But but it's about what you do in your Toyota, right. Yes,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: it's that's why people use Toyota's They're all about mobility
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: for people and and making it our lives easier through transportation,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: and and they do it really well and build great
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: vehicles and really really excited to continue to partner with them.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: There's a you know, we'reing a button here today with
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Waku Dokie, and that's a term mister Toyota, the former
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: uh he's the chairman now and he was the president
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: of the company until recently. He loves to love to
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: talk use that and to describe Toyota sports cars and
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: in the thrill of driving and advanced automobile on a
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: racetrack is really what he likes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He likes to do that personally.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: But it's that it's that adrenaline when you're of anticipation,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: when you're doing something exciting, or when you put your
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: your foot into a high horsepower vehicle and you feel
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: that push.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Back on the on the on the in the earth,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: but it's in the sound.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right, So that's uh, that's what wakujoki is. But
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: that's you know, we're we're also having that sense of
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: excitement for something really new and the beginning here at
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Toyota and Dungeons Toyota, which while it's the beginning, it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: also you know, we are all the oldest Toyota dealer
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: in the state of Oklahoma.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Oh well, let's not forget that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: To be a have a lead certified building. We have
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: a broad spectrum of great vehicles. We've got a great
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: selection right now. It's our inventory has been building and
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: sales have been uh what looks really.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Good right now?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: And are you able to keep the trucks on the lock?
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Well, keep they still turn really quickly and we need
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: to keep doing that. That's really important so that we
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: can keep earning the vehicles. And you know, because it
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: is a race to sell the Toyota as it really is.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: There's never enough of them, it seems, or at least
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: in the last few years, we've had had some supply issues.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: But the truth is that's because they're a great vehicle,
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: and we have thirty two right now that are available,
• 9:13

  Speaker 5: Those are really great important to our business. We sell
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: lots of those. V Highlander has been scarce this year

• 10:10
  Speaker 5: we used to celebrate in April because of the Ford anniversary,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: but but Toyota is actually in December, which will be
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: good because Toyota than will be going on then and
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: so we can kind of combine our anniversary with with
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: that we were actually got my grandfather got the Toyota
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: franchise in December nineteen sixty eight.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: So wow, So it was really early in the game.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: It was I think there was a a Toyota dealership
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: in the in town before then out on the west
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: side over by Murphy's we used to have it. Later
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: became a used car lot that my grandfather had over there,
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: and and but it was a there was a Toyota.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: He Toyota there. Hey, Toyota, Now there's a at the
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: beginning they were. It wasn't nearly you know, as big
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: a brand for us is as uh as Ford been
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: through the years. It did become really at times even
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: bigger than Ford in our market.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: And you know, we did. My grandfather had many brands
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: through the years and for a while a Zuzu at GP.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: He had, you know, lots of different brands. Yeah.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Really, I was one of the first dealers, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: in our area to do that multi brands and right
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: here in Barblsville.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: And yeah, we did. It was fascinating as some of them.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: We were unpacking everything and out of the depths of
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: the dealership and you know, there's a I've got a
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: ledger on my table at my office now that's about
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It's a couple of feet twenty four
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: inches wide and big, you know, no typical accounting ledger,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: but about this high, this high, about six inches eight
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: inches high. It's got about ten years of car sales
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: records written in handwritten in cursive.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: It's about it's essentially all the cars that they sold
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: in the seventies, and.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: It goes through by model they you know, what what
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: we sold, and all the way through vehicle, the deal,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: the person bought it. It's handwritten, it's it's you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: stuff like that, really really amazing stuff that you don't
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: think about. You know, there were deeds and stuff from
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: the early nineteen hundreds and things like that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Just you know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: There's a roll, a scrolled photo from of Three Sands
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: oil field over by west of Ponca City, back when
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: the oil boom was going on in Oklahoma. And and
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: it's about forty inches long, six inches high, and you
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: unroll it in and there's all you can see all
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: the oil field Derek's and it's really a fascinating thing.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't think that long ago they had a way
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: to take that kind of panoramic picture that we do
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: with our phones now. But it's all it's just rolled
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: up in this uh in there that was a high
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: dollar product.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it is.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: So anyway, just to all kinds of stuff, lots of
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: great memorabilia from my grandfather's career really and certainly just
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: some from my father and Bob to you know, through
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: the years. It's been over almost ninety five from the
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: very beginning, and so we continue that legacy out there
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: and really has been an interesting time and glad to
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: be through it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Though a little bit.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: You look like you slept a little.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's been.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of a lot to do in the
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: last few days.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I know we stu there were periods when the phone
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: wasn't working when we were in either store, and then yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: when we're just trying to we've been untangling as much
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: as possible everything. But because we were combined as a
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: company for so long, there's really uh no way to
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: anticipate everything that was one of them.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: That's uh.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Pulling apart definitely was a challenge and we but we're
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: getting there. I mean Bill and his team or have
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: made already off and running and you know you got
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: their new mobile service vehicle and lots of great stuff.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: We've got, you know, lots of great plans at Toyota
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: and a great inventory I mentioned including a few former
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: for what were some of our forward f C TP vehicles.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: So these are like new Fords right next to the
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Ford dealer I know anyway, they're they're like new for
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: people know these vehicles because we've been selling them for years.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: They're just loaners for when people have their car and service.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: Some of them have eight hundred miles on them. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: think one of them has a couple thousand, but most
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: of them are just a couple a few hundred miles.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: And they've got three edges and Explore and an F
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: one fifty. And these are like new vehicles that you
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: can say thousands on. These are way discounted and like
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: I said, twenty four model year brand new vehicles virtually
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: with but there's a big savings there on our used
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: car lot.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: There we've got the great.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: New to add a new vehicle inventory and lots of
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: great deals on our used cars right now. They're really
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: important to keep everything priced right right now. We're seeing
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: the market be really it's fluctuating a lot in used cars.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of there's a lot of demand and
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: not enough supply, so sometimes it's hard to get cars.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Other times they're you know, in the flood the storms
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: and things in the southeast and the hurricanes and other
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: floods and things are certainly going to impact vehicle supply too.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: So it's just there's a.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Lot of uncertainty in that, and you know, so we're
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: navigating that well. And so keeping your vehicle price right
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: is really important right now. It helps helps move it
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: and we do that every day. That's one of our
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: great tenets of how we work is keeping what we
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: call simple price, where everything is is priced to sell,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: you know how it need to come in and do
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: a lot of negotiation. We put everything up front right
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: there on the website, give you the ability to go
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: in and and really work your own deal, and then
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: we'll pick up right where you left off when you
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: come in and and and we'll work you work with
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: you to get the very best deal possible and make
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: it simple.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Our team is all noncommissioned and and salage.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: Salespeople know and we we really believe in that our team,
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: you know, they don't have to worry about, you know,
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: how much they make selling you the car, and that's
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: an impact on their paycheck, and it just makes it easier.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: It's that our team make good money. They're still going
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: to make good money, of course they are.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: They're going to.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: If they're highly productive and sell lots of cars, they
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: make more money. But they definitely know what they're going
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: to make and they don't need to worry about that.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: They can't really control it anyway. Like I said, the
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: prices are set really before they get there, and and
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: we make sure we're every vehicle is priced fairly from
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: the beginning. I'm really proud of that, and and our
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: team is also really great at understanding the vehicles and
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: helping you set your vehicle up. A lot of people
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: today are a little bit hesitant of some of the
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: technology and cars. I hear that from people that you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: they don't like the safety stuff and they want to
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: keep their old car. But you know, the more you
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: experience it, you really do get comfortable with it, and
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: we realize how how valuable it is.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: It really can help you save money and time and
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: and create better you know, value out of your vehicle.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Over time, you're going to have better resale value if
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: it has fewer blemishes. And so we had my divor
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: from the body shop in last week. And these vehicles
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: get more and more expensive to repair all the electronics
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: in them and more advanced features. Uh so it uh
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: you know, there's really no trade no trade off there.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: You want to be safe and make sure you're you're
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: taken care of, and you know, so, I think it's
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: really there. It is good technology and we need to
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: just need to to find ways to make it better
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: so people understand how it's going to work. And that's
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: a team something our team can do when you're taking
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: delivery of the vehicle, really spend time so you understand
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: what those features are and how they work so you
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: can control them because a lot of them can be turned.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: On and off. And you know, it really is about
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: knowing how your.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Vehicle works, and you know what the safety features. Folks
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: don't be afraid to because they will help you in those.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: The vehicles around you, and you know, it's it definitely
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: is is amazing.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: As vehicles get more advanced, and you know that's our
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: technicians have to stay up with that too.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: They're they're constantly learning and and.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Uh, you know that's really a part of being a
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Toyota technician. They're they're great guys. They train all the time.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: They're they're very uh uh you know, really have to
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: understand electronics and computer systems and how they operate. Uh.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: Virtually every system we have in a vehicle now is
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: controlled by by chips and and you know and are
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and are controlled by the computers of the in the vehicle,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: and so it's a really important understand how that works
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: and how it performs with your mechanical engines and stuff.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: So yeah, so anyway, we've been had Robert Bright on
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: early from.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: The Elks Lodge. I want to remind everybody that they're.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Having a special benefit dinner and dance on Saturday night
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: for Cody Hazelwood, who was a twenty year old volunteer
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: firefighter for Oglesby File Department Fire Department. He was on
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: an assist call and he was involved in an accident
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: that was a life changing accident.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: He's injured.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: What he needs help and as they've been raising money
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: in the community has and the Elks Club is joining
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: that effort with his dinner and dance and so for
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: a ten dollars donation you can go and get a
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: chili dinner and other food from six pm until it's gone.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: And then you have the Paul Holt band coming from
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: eight to pm to midnight and they're a great band.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I hear from a broken Arrow. And then they'll have
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: a silent auption, fifty to fifty drawing and a bake
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: sale and lots of great stuff to purchase.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: And you can go out and support the Everage to
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: help Cody recover and have a great life going forward.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: So I want everybody down there and that that is
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: at the Elks Lodge behind Walmart on Swan Drive, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: that's from six to midnight on Saturday evening.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: So check that out now with your your toyotas. You
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: got a little something for everybody. Now, we talked a
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: little bit about the trucks, but you got some really
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: smooth rides like that crowd and the Crown and then
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: even the Corolla cross. Yeah, I was We have a
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: couple of used Corolla crosses now and I was driving
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: one of those and they're fun.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: They're fun. I like, think you I like that vehicle.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I always liked Corolla that was. You know, it's a
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: great car.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: It's really efficient and uh, you know, even though it's
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: a small vehicle and I'm over six feet tall and
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: you know, I fitted in. It's a comfortable vehicle to
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: ride in and so efficient. It's has always had a
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: great fuel economy. And one of the reasons why I
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: got one for our when my young oldest was driving
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: learned getting his driver's license, was because of all the
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: safety features that were standard on.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: The Toyota Corolla.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: And this was in twenty sixteen, you know, long before
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: it was standard on most vehicles. It was more of
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: an option on luxury cars at that point, and Toyota
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: made that commitment to put safety sense and all their
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: products from the base models up because of their belief
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: in that. I you know, they really are a great
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: mobility company and design great vehicles. I saw a report
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: this morning where they're going to get with Boston Dynamics
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: and work on more advanced robotics and robots that can
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: do more I guess human like activities.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Well, they picked the right company that's like the best
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: in the world and what they do.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it'd be.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: Very interesting once they come up with They're always partnershiping Toyota,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Reese Church is always partnering with other companies that are
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: interested in this, and it all leads to better vehicles.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: And you know, and obviously, like we mentioned the computers
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: in the cars, and now how our phone, our phones
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: and the cars combine and and as over time these
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: things all kind of work together, and with advancements and
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: AI and all that, there's just going to be a
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: lot of changes. And you know, I think being able
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: to apply those they'll probably be looking to apply those
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: robotics things they learned in the manufacturing of vehicles to
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: be more efficient and reduce cost in the vehicles, so
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: you can, you know, have just better products for your customers.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's amazing.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You know, you talk about getting new ideas from different
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: people and working with different entities. One of the biggest
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: things that change the car industry at one time. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: am not kidding yet. I'm not kidding you. No, Well,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: that's it, you know, I mean, it's something as simple
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: as that. Nobody thought except oh, that's a great.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: Great example, because I mean they started out as these
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: as pretty much utilitarian thing and an amazing revolutionary thing
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: allowed us to have freedom of mobility in a way
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: that humans have never seen.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but now we do a bit more with them.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: They're you know, you think of the lifestyle vehicles.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: I was, I was coming to work today and I
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: was following a tundra with a canoe on top and
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: it had one of those fancy racks on it that
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: has the tent that comes out the side, and yeah,
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: I mean and well, at the Toyota show last month,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I saw some vehicles done up with the most amazing
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: stuff where you could, you know, whatever you wanted to
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: do out there, wherever you go, you can go do
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: it and take it with you with the Toyota so
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: that the cup holder may have started it.
