Eligible College Graduates buying or leasing a new untitled Toyota Camry Gas (excludes Hybrid), Corolla, Yaris, Matrix, RAV4 or Tacoma through January 03, 2011 will receive a $1,000 rebate to be used towards their purchase or lease. The rebate must be used as a down payment on Retail and Preferred Option contracts. On Lease Agreements, the rebate must be applied towards the "Amount Due at Lease Signing or Delivery".
As a reminder, there are two College Graduate Programs that can be utilized by the customer:
1. Enhanced Toyota College Graduate Rebate Program - $1,000 Rebate
2. College Graduate Finance Program - Automatic Tier 1 Rate (Minimum)
In most cases the eligible customer can benefit from both College Graduate Programs. There are a few instances where the Finance Plan is only available and not the rebate (i.e. TCUV). However, in all cases the customer must qualify for the Finance Plan in order to further qualify for the $1,000 Rebate Program.
All other parameters of the College Graduate Finance Plan remain unchanged.
Please refer to the attached Program Guidelines for complete program provisions. Should you have any questions regarding this program, please contact your Area Sales Manager (ASM) at your local TFS office.
