VICTORVILLE — Mark Oakes of Lucerne Valley was the winner of Valley Hi Toyota's latest used car giveaway last week.
After the success of six car giveaways in 2014, the Victorville dealership decided to continue giving away quality used cars to the community in 2015.
Last week, the dealership randomly selected a small group of contestants from a pool of 2,000 entrants for the January/February giveaway.
"We wanted to make this particular contest fun and exciting," said Valley Hi Toyota General Manager Todd Stokes. "Social media engagement is important to us, so we reached out to 100 randomly chosen contestants and asked them to reply as soon as they received a surprise email from us."
Twenty-five of the first respondents were invited to the dealership for a ceremony, according to Brian Ortega, Social Media Manager at Valley Hi Toyota. Oakes was was selected by a bingo-style raffle to win a Toyota sedan.
