At home in Japan, Toyota is expanding its "value chain", which specialises
in used car sales and retail parts sales to strengthen their dealers’ competitiveness
in a market tipped to again be teetering on the brink of recession.
In south-east Asia, meanwhile, Toyota has begun to open small-scale used car

non-branded spare parts, which are cheaper than Toyota-branded ‘genuine’
parts.
