Others entered to win the Scion that the dealer is giving away in conjunction with The Bay Net. The Scion will be given away on May 31 at the facility. Twenty lucky entrants, chosen by random drawing, will each be given a key and be asked to try to start the Scion. The entrant with the lucky key gets to drive the car home.

As reported earlier by The Bay Net, innovative building technology was used in the construction of the new dealership’s home. In addition to construction techniques, the dealer also uses natural lighting instead of electricity and recycled oil from its own service department to provide fuel for heat.

Patrons were treated to a wide-open lounge area and could sample the carwash, which uses a revolutionary technique to recycle water, using only 8 gallons per wash. Those in attendance also were able to take advantage of free wireless internet, flat screen TVs, a child’s play area, covered service drive, a café, and over 600 parking spaces.

Be sure to stay tuned to The Bay Net to see who wins the Scion on the 31st.
