"With a record-breaking first quarter and a trail of record monthly sales behind us, 2001 promises to be an even better year than last for Toyota certified used vehicle sales," said Ron Broughman, TMS corporate manager, used vehicle operations department. "We hope to continue to exceed monthly objectives and we are very proud that Toyotas are the number one selling certified used vehicles in America."

certified used vehicles. Prius combines a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Configured as a five-passenger family sedan, the Prius carries an EPA label fuel economy rating of 52 miles per gallon city, 45 highway, and an SULEV (super ultra low emission vehicle) certification.

established in 1996, continues to provide one of
the best pre-owned warranties in the industry. The warranty, from date of first use, includes
six-year, 100,000-mile limited powertrain
coverage, as well as an optional comprehensive
100,000-mile vehicle service agreement. Also provided free of charge for one year is
