Scion College Grad Rebate Dropped by $500
 

Hi guys,

I was browing and it seems they updated the site this week. Military discount was at $500, and they bumped it up to $1000 which was the grad discount. They should be at $1000, or $500.

Just wanted to let everyone know.

PETITION!!:threadjacked:

They also raised the MSRP. Glad I got mine when I did :D

Glad i got mine as well not like my dealer followed the grad package anyways.

I got the 1000 but thats it...
I didnt get "no payments for 3 months"
I didnt get "placed into highest standing for credit"

All this was because I rolled over equity from my previous car and my loan term was not 60 months. Gotta watch out for that fine print, oh well lol at least I got 1K off.

My fiance was approaching the 2-year post-grad maximum time frame this past december from his recent graduation date, so we went ahead with the purchase; got the full $1,000. I was wondering about the 3 months no payments because we did not get that either, but maybe because our loan term is not 60 months. Wish I would have seen it, I just figured our credit was not 'excellent' enough, haha.

Eh, speaking of the Military discount, It only applies if you are financing through Toyota, but not if you are paying cash... :-(

Picked my FR-S up on Saturday... just slid in under the 1/7 deadline!

easy fix! take out the lien through toyota motor credit,then immediately
pay the note,and still get the discount!.you'll have to pay some negligible
interest,maybe a few dollars,but that's it IF you eliminate the note right away!

What!? There's a 3 month no payment? Wait so does that mean they pay the first 3 months for you or basically your loan is 63 months long with the first 3 free?

it's still a 60 month term. you just won't accrue interest until your first payment (3 months from signing). I did not read into the details but this is what's implied by their promotion description.

I got the 1000 dollar college grad rebate, the 3 months no interest, and got placed in the highest tier credit rating. I bought the care in August.

My interest rate was around 3%. After the second month, I transferred the loan to PENFED because they offered a 1.5% interest rate.

Why did Scion chance the grad program? To many college grads buying their cars? Looks like as a society being a college grad should be encouraged.

Its always been $1000 grad and $1000 Military.

And you can actually use both.

Don't worry, if you're a college grad you'll be make bank in no time right?... Right?..

LOL :lol:
