Scion Offers College Grads $1000 Toward New Cars





submit to reddit

With Graduation coming up for many new college students shits month, Toyota Financial has announced a new $1000 rebate for all qualifying graduates toward a new Scion and some Toyota models. And best of all Toyota Financial programs recognize that students don’t always have deep and established credit yet too.

“Scion and Toyota vehicles are consistently some of the most popular vehicles among young adults, but more importantly, they provide dependable and safe transportation for new graduates getting to new jobs,” said Mike Groff, TFS Group Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Product Development. “We understand that it’s certainly a tough time to be entering this economy, so it’s our hope that this $1,000 rebate, which can be coupled with other incentives, gives these new grads a break and gets them securely started on their next phase of life.”

Qualified college graduates are also eligible for the College Graduate Finance Program which offers a highly competitive APR/lease terms and features such as:

  • No money down and no monthly payments for the first 90 days on select finance programs
  • Security deposit waiver for lease

The College Graduate Rebate Program for  Scion vehicles ends Jan. 3, 2012 and is available to qualified customers who graduated within the last two years, or will graduate within the next six months.


Here is a quick qualification checklist to see if you can get the rebate:

  • Must have graduated from an accredited four-year college, university, or registered nursing degree program during the last two years or graduate from such a school/program within the next six months, or
  • Must have graduated from an accredited two-year college during the last two years, or
  • Must be enrolled in an accredited graduate degree program or have received a degree from an accredited graduate program during the last two years, or
  • Must have graduated during the last two years from the two-year Toyota Technical Education Network (T-TEN) Program or any other two-year post secondary automotive program accredited by the NATEF, or
  • Must have completed an electrician apprenticeship/cert. program during the last two years through NJATC and IBEW.
  • Show proof of present employment, or future employment with a start date within 120 days of your purchase contract date. TFS must deem your salary sufficient to cover living expenses and vehicle payments.
  • Minor credit lapses allowed! All obligations paid within 60 days or less of the due date and cannot have charge-offs totaling more than $1,000 in the past 24 months.
  • On approved credit through participating Toyota dealers and Toyota Financial Services. Not all applicants will qualify. Terms, conditions and restrictions apply.

Of course these are just fast and quick ticks on the list, but you should contact your local dealership for more details and to apply. Even if you don’t qualify for this specific program, your dealer may have other programs to meet your needs.
