Dealers who sold fewer than 500 cars will get $7,500, while dealers who sold more than 4,000 will get $75,000.The extra money comes in addition to the costs associated with each repair.</p>
<p>While Toyota may be getting hit hard with a series of costly recalls that could cost as much as $2 billion this quarter alone, dealers and dealership employees figure to experience a short-term boon. The extra money coming from the service area will be needed, too, as new vehicle sales at dealerships are undoubtedly low given the fact that dealers <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/26/breaking-toyota-temporarily-halts-sales-of-selected-models/">cannot sell</a> eight of the automaker's most popular vehicles, including the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camry">Toyota Camry</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/corolla">Corolla</a>. <br /> <br /> [Source: <a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/driveon/post/2010/02/embattled-toyota-forking-over-up-to-75000-to-aid-dealers/1">USA Today</a>]</p>
