Christensen Dodge, Brent Brown Toyota, and Christensen ChevroletBuick are overstocked and must sell 200 cars and trucks for as little as $99.00 this Saturday December 8, 2001 during a one-day sales event. rOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: PRO'G, UTAH Brent Brou n and Craig Christensen, owners of Brent Brown Toyota, Christensen Dodge, and Christensen ChevroletBuick, plan to hold a one-day sales event on Saturday, December 8, at The University Auto Mall, located 2 blocks west of Lavell Edwards Stadium. Brown and Christensen state that due to enormous increases in vehicle sales this year, they find the dealerships critically overstocked with used vehicle trade- v ins. "Quite frankly, we've never seen anything' like these last few months. We're in a position , v.-here we have to liquidate these vehicles in a hurry to bring our inventories back in line." Brown continues, "We're going to hold this unusual S')9 Sales Event, where every used vehicle v.-Ml be drastically reduced, some at only $99! To move these vehicles, we'll be pricing used cars that could sell for six to nine thousand dollars at the four to six thousand dollar range." This event promises to be exciting. "If you've never seen this type of disposal before, make sure you arrive early." says Brown and Christensen. To simplify the sale, we'll pre-mark every used vehicle. The sale lot at 1995 No. University Parkway in Provo, will be open for preview at 9:30 a.m. Saturday. All vehicles will be open for inspection at that time. At precisely 10 a.m., the slasher will begin slashing prices to the lowest possible price. Whoever is sitting behind the wheel of any used vehicle will be given the first opportunity to purchase the vehicle at the posted sale price in the windshield. No haggle, no hassles. Used car buyers will be available to bid on trade-ins during the sale hours of 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Lenders will be there to arrange low-cost financing for virtually every level of credit history. Christensen states, "Please be advised this is a one day only sales event. Because of the size of the discounts being offered, when our inventories have been reduced to the desired level, the sales tags will be removed and all vehicles will return to normal pricing." "This inventory situation has been very difficult on us, but it will certainly be an opportunity for the consumers who participate. We'd rather give our local customers the chance to purchase the vehicles than to send them to the wholesale auctions in Salt Lake," says Brown. Questions regarding this sale can be directed to (801) 224-1320, (801) 373-9S00 or (801) 373-2570. Vin numbers available at the dealership.
