Canada's MSRP is still the same and the Grad Rebate is still sitting at $1000

Was the pedfed loan for 36 months?

As per Scion::

College Graduate Rebate

""To celebrate your smarts, between January 8, 2013 to April 1, 2013, qualifying graduates can get a $500.00 rebate towards the purchase or lease of a new Scion when you finance or lease through a participating Scion dealer and Toyota Financial Services (TFS).""

While I agree it should be encouraged, it is not Toyota who should be encouraging it.

They only offer that incentive to try and lure in the younger generation. Toyota has an extremely high loyalty rate and if you can get someone in a Toyota when they're young you have a high chance of that person buying several cars from you in their lifetime.

Marketing.....not some altruistic celebration of your ability to graduate from a university.

So after April fools either its going back up to $1000 or its going to $250? Perhaps $0?

Bump.

April 1st is coming on up. I'm planning on buying my car in late April/early May. Any word yet on what's coming up after the current promotion expires?

shawnperolis · 03-19-2013, 04:39 PM

I just bought my FRS last month, I think I still have the form - I can look for it when I get home.

Here is some venting though: my dealer and I figured out all of the finances a couple days before delivering. An hour before going to pick it up, they call me and tell me that my 1,000 dollar rebate was only going to be a 500 dollar rebate because they "forgot" that the deal changed. I was pretty pissed, made them give me more for my trade in.

yeah, I didnt get the deffered payments either. When I got my first payment invoice in the mail (4 days bedore it was due when not expecting one sucks). Called TFS and they said they had never heard of it and the dealer didnt file anything regarding that. I had to make the payment in the meantime and got tired of dealing with the dealer and TFs so i just gave up. Kinda sucked since I didnt start my job for 3 months after, but I guess its whatever in the end.

coastertrav · 03-29-2013, 04:57 PM

So any news on this? This is the last weekend this promotion is running.

Jinzen · 04-10-2013, 11:07 AM

Hi Guys, are you guys getting MSRP - $500 college rebate + tax/title/licensing or people getting below MSRP (pure price) along with the college rebate?

I'm considering choosing between FRS and BRZ and seeing about the price differential.
