DEALER GIVES NON-PROFITS NEW YEAR’S GIFT

Several non-profit organizations received an unexpected gift in the New Year as Maui Toyota handed them the keys to brand new Sienna vans at the Kahului car lot on Wednesday.  Maui Toyota CEO Damien Farias said the dealership ended the year with more vans than could be sold in a two year period.  He decided to clear the excess $150,000 in inventory by gifting to the vehicles to agencies in need including Hale Makua, the Nissei Veterans Center, Easter Seals, St. Anthony, and Hui No Ke Ola Pono.  Farias also planned to transport one vehicle aboard the Superferry this week for donation to the Lunalilo Home on Oahu.
