College Grad Discount
 

I didn't hear of this until now. I bought my car about a month ago.
Think it is too late to go back and ask for it?

Give your dealership a call, they'll probably give a rebate with the proof of the certificate.

i believe u get a rebate form that u send to TMCC

Did you finance through Toyota? I believe the Grad discount requires you to have gone through their financing:

I think the best interest rate available through TFS is 3.24% for 60 mo. My credit union offers 0.99% for 60 mo. or 0.49% for 48 mo. It doesn't make much sense to go through TFS for the rebate if you got a good enough rate elsewhere.

FYI, I'm getting the grad discount ($1,000 off purchase price only) and financing through a bank.

I ran into tthe same issue as well..bought the car about a month ago. I emailed a few dealer reps to see if it can get applied after purchase

Yeah I was financed through TFS. I'll give them a call monday morning and find out.
Thanks guys

TFS does offer better than 3.25 and you can always just refi immediately with your bank of choice.

I have 2.64% through TFS and also got the grad discount. This was applied in the final paperwork with all the other charges and fees. The dealer wasn't 100% sure exactly what Toyota needed for support documents so I just gave them a few different things; transcripts, copy of the diploma, etc. Now my understanding was you had to finance through Toyota for the grad discount.

I'm very curious about this. I bought my FR-S on Friday and this is the first I've heard of a rebate. I will be calling tomorrow.

EDIT : I see on there website you need proof you are graduating in 6 months or a diploma showing you graduated within two years. It covers 4-year and 2-year "qualified" schools (I wonder what exactly qualifies). But it also stats you need proof of having a job lined up...That's where they get you, haha.

They've had this program for a while. You also get a $1000 rebate if you're Active military

Interesting. I wonder if this is a difference between the program in the US vs the program in Canada. Mmm, doesn't look like it:

Odd, the salesman I've been talking too said that 3.25 was the best interest rate offered by TFS. Financing through TFS and then re-financing through a bank or credit union to get a better rate is an interesting idea.

I called the dealership this morning, they weren't sure if they'll be able to do it. Took all my school info and said they'd let me know.

:iono:

Said the same to me, but I ended up with 2.25 or something around there when the paperwork actually came.
