When I checked with Toyota Motor Corporation’s Public Relations Department, they said, “These are vehicles used to transport officials, mainly production vehicles such as the MIRAI, which were used to move between locations such as the competition venue, the Olympic village and the international media center. About 2,700 of these vehicles are basically going to the used car market. Of the approximately 3,700 vehicles provided in Tokyo 2020, approximately 2,700 will be sold on the used car market. Of these, 90% were hybrid or electric vehicles, including approximately 500 units of the original MIRAI, 500 units of the Prius PHV, 300 units of the Noah/Voxy, and 150 units of the Noah/Voxy (Well Cab). Other vehicles in use include Alphard and Lexus ES, which were used to transport Chairman Bach and other VIPs. I asked a dealer who sells Tokyo 2020 Toyota vehicles, and was told that all used vehicles will be sold at Toyota dealership-affiliated used car stores that handle “Toyota Certified Used Vehicles” as “vehicles used in the operation of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games”.

Since the release of the new Land Cruiser on August 2, orders have been piling up to 20,000 units, and dealers are telling customers that they will have to wait two to three years for delivery. And if you apply the inflated number of orders to the annual production plan, you can even calculate to wait for a very long 4 years. There is no doubt that the Land Cruiser 300 is a long-awaited new model with proven performance.
Even so, this concentration of orders is bizarre. Toru Endo, a distribution journalist with an excellent reputation for interviewing dealers had found that there were quite a few “resellers” in the dark, and Toyota was having a hard time dealing with them.
