I'M LOOKING SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON HOW TO PURCHASE A TOYOTA
AUTOMOBILE FRANCHISE AND BUILD A NEW DEALERSHIP IN ARIZONA?  WHAT ARE
THE REQUIREMENTS AND HOW MUCH OF A CAPITAL INVESTMENT IS REQUIRED?

I am a former Honda dealer, typically you cannot buy a new franchise
from the manufacturer.  Dealership "points" are awarded to qualified
individuals.  If you do not have an extensive background in running a
new car dealership you probably will not be awarded a franchise. 
However, you may be able to purchase a franchise from an existing
dealer looking to sell his/her store.  But, you will still need to
seek approval from the manufacturer to purchase the store.  Typically,
you are looking on spending between $1M to $25M (or more) for a Toyota
store depending on the location.  A single Toyota store in the greater
Phoenix or Tucson market would probably run at a minimum $10M.  Good
luck

You might find interesting an article from October 2002, which says in
part, ""It's becoming very difficult for that individual entrepreneur
to buy a Toyota dealership because of the public companies who are
willing to spend money to acquire the metropolitan stores that we
have," .... A Toyota franchise can sell for between $500,000 to $15
million, depending on location and volume ...."
