You get the COLLEGE rebate plus the TOYOTA $1,000 rebate too . The rebate may be greater or less depending on the region . That's if you're thinking of buying a 2010 . You may be able to get a dealer discount as well . The dealer is reimbursed by TOYOTA , so no money out of their pockets . TOYOTA also has secret incentives to the dealer .

Well it's my fiance that qualifies. The toyota website doesn't give very much details. i wonder if I can co-sign for the car and pay for it. Does she have to finance it through toyota financial services?

I called TFS and the lady had NO CLUE what I was talking about.

Most likely you could . Go to dealer of preference and get that info from sales manager . You should be able to get the $1,000 college rebate , the $1,000 TOYOTA rebate , and a dealer discount up to a $1,000 . I'd say a total of $2,600 or a greater would be your goal . Looks like you can't combine the 0% with any cash incentives . Don't forget once you sign the papers for the 2010 it will depriciate more since there are 2011s' , so stick to your guns and try to go to several TOYOTA dealers to get best deal ( the more , the merrier ) for the same car . Let us know how it works out . Good Luck

I used this Graduate Program when I bought my Yaris last May. I got 0% financing and used the $1000 college graduate rebate as a down-payment, decreasing the amount of my loan by $1000.
