* Online Vehicle Exchange (OVE)
-- OVE - TFS: Includes off-lease, company, and rental inventory
-- OVE - Buyer's Choice: Includes Toyota and Lexus dealer inventory

"Maintaining the proper used vehicle inventory is more important than ever for dealers, and our goal in developing this remarketing resource with Manheim was to give Toyota and Lexus dealers a powerful tool to locate and purchase the vehicles they need, no matter the source," said Carl Scandura, TFS National Remarketing Manager. "Working together with Manheim, Toyota is committed to developing quality products that help our dealers become more profitable."

Other features of the site include the Dealer Message Center, which allows TFS to communicate with all dealers in one convenient place, a listing of all TFS sales at Manheim and ADESA auction locations, and an up-to-the-minute promotions page with information on everything from special buy fees to transportation assistance.
