The outgoing model year is making room for the next one. Selection is widest right now and thins out as the event runs, so the early part of a clearance is where the real choice is. We are on Skyland Boulevard, just off I-20 and I-59.
Serving Tuscaloosa, Northport, Bessemer, Hoover and Birmingham
Every year the outgoing model year has to move before the new one arrives, and that is the entire mechanism behind this event. Nothing about the vehicle changes. It is new, it carries the same factory warranty, and it has never been titled. What changes is that we need the space.
The thing worth understanding is the shape of a clearance. Selection is at its best at the start and gets worse every week after, because the popular colours and configurations go first. If you know what you want, coming early is worth more than waiting for the event to mature.
For anyone driving in from Birmingham, Hoover or Bessemer down I-20 and I-59, call ahead. An hour each way is a long trip to make for a vehicle that sold on Tuesday, and a two-minute phone call fixes that.
We would rather tell you that up front than have you find out later. Ask us what actually changed between the two model years and we will give you a straight answer, including when the answer is to wait.
Toyota sets these and they move through the event, so the only accurate answer is the one we give you today.
Toyota financing and lease offers on outgoing model-year vehicles change through the event and vary by model. Call and we will tell you exactly what is available on the vehicle you are considering.

It is the window each year when the outgoing model year makes room for the incoming one. Selection on the outgoing year is at its widest early in the event and thins out as it runs. Call us at (205) 553-3325 for the current offers, because they are set by Toyota and change through the event.
It can be, if the outgoing year has what you want. The vehicle is brand new and carries the same warranty. What you trade away is being one model year behind from day one, which matters at resale. If you plan to keep it a long time, that trade usually favours you.
Outgoing model-year inventory across the lineup, which around here means Camry, RAV4, Highlander and Tacoma move first. Availability depends entirely on what is left on the ground, so call or check the live inventory listing rather than assuming a specific model is still available.
About 60 miles down I-20 and I-59, or roughly an hour outside rush hour. We also serve Northport just across the river, plus Bessemer and Hoover on the way in. Call ahead at (205) 553-3325 and we will have what you want to see pulled up front before you make the drive.
Yes, and during a clearance event it is worth doing. Selection on the outgoing model year moves quickly, so having the financing conversation done in advance means you are not sorting paperwork while the vehicle you wanted goes to someone else. Start the credit application online.
Yes. Start a valuation online before you drive over, and bring the title and registration if you want to finish in one visit. If the number does not work for you there is no obligation to go ahead, and you will know where you stand before you shop.
Sometimes yes, and we will tell you when. If the incoming year brings a change you actually want, waiting makes sense. If the two years are substantially the same vehicle, buying the outgoing one during clearance is usually the better move. Ask us what changed and we will give you a straight answer.
No, but calling first helps during clearance. Outgoing inventory changes daily, and a quick call to (205) 553-3325 means we can confirm the vehicle is still here and have it ready rather than having you drive to Skyland Boulevard for something that sold that morning.
Selection on the outgoing model year is best at the start of a clearance and only gets thinner.
