While buyers who prefer used cars in New York may have seen the possible closure of the joint Toyota-General Motors plant, known as NUMMI, as a sign that some cars may stop being offered in showrooms, the impact on local families is also a growing concern.

Advocates with Friends of NUMMI, or New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated, say that shutting down the plant puts 50,000 jobs at risk in California because there will be no future

The plant employs less than 5,000 people, but the organization says that the true scope of the shutdown includes suppliers and other local business that help to put out nearly half a million vehicles each year.

“I’m definitely worried about my future,” NUMMI employee Freddy Martin told the San Francisco Chronicle during a recent rally to keep the facility open. “I’m only hoping that all the tax incentives and business breaks the state is offering will make it possible for Toyota to stay.”

While General Motors has pulled out of the partnership, Toyota is in talks to keep the plant open, which may mean more used Toyota Matrixes in New York for future buyers.
