Canada Only - Maybe a $1000 enviro rebate on Yaris>

[MDF]

TORONTO, March 19 /CNW/ - Toyota Canada Inc. (TCI) today applauded the
Government of Canada's budget initiatives to encourage Canadians to choose
environmentally friendly vehicles.

"We're very pleased that the federal government's budget recognizes the
important role policy makers have in shaping the value that society places on
environmental responsibility," said Stephen Beatty, Managing Director of
Toyota Canada Inc...

...In addition, a number of Toyota vehicles should qualify for the $1,000
rebate, including the euro-styled Yaris Hatch or Yaris with a Trunk, the
ever-popular Toyota Corolla with manual transmission, and the Toyota
Highlander Hybrid intermediate SUV.

It's a fine line between which cars Ottawa considers fuel efficient and which ones it doesn't. In an effort to support so-called "green cars," Monday's federal budget promised a $1,000 rebate to buyers of vehicles that use less than 6.5 litres of gas to go 100 kilometres. The Toyota Yaris makes the cut. But several of its direct rivals fall short of the line by a fraction of a litre.

.................................................. ...........Fuel economy........Rebate
Toyota Yaris: $14,605 (four door).....................6.4...............$1,000
Honda Fit: $14,980 (five-speed manual)...........6.6
Hyundai Accent: $12,995 (five-speed manual)...6.9
Nissan Versa: $14,498.....................................7.2
Chevrolet Aveo: $12,995..................................7.55

They should do that in the states haha.

[stuffy]

i think it is up to $2000, but this amount might only apply to hybrids like the prius or honda civic

edit:you are right mdf, the yaris gets $1000 rebate

[YANGSTER]

Damn...did most of us get punished for buying the car early then?

[OxyG3nE]

they said on tv its for Hybrid car only :p

[YANGSTER]

this is what i've found after a lil research
i guess we did get punished....:iono:

As part of the Government of Canada’s plan to protect the environment, the ecoAUTO Rebate Program encourages Canadians to buy fuel-efficient vehicles. How? It offers rebates from $1000 to $2000, to people who, beginning March 20, 2007, buy or enter a long-term lease (12 months or more) for a fuel-efficient vehicle.

[lomky]

I'm still wating for my delivery, so I'm hoping that I'll get the rebate. What are the dates on your guyses deals, the day you got the car or the day you ordred it?

One month and counting. At least my trade in and deal is done so I can drive the crap outta my Echo HB.

[MDF]

$1000 rebate is for any Yaris purchased or leased from March 20th/2007 onward...

So if you purchased via contract your car a while ago, but still havent taken delivery I dont know what happens...I hope you can get the rebate just ask the dealer the best advice to get it for you...

[marcus]

yah jsut called emailed toyota but they never answered my question bout me not getting it till next month.. im assuming my purchase date will be next month instead. so i should qualify for $1000.00 invironment rebate.

I dont know about the other cars you listed, but the Chevy Aveo gets really bad gas milage for such a small car...really bad...almost about the same as Buick LeSabre 3.8v6...

[Vervepipes]

yep, the yaris is the only car from it's class that qualifies for the rebate.
apparently the fit manual missed by 0.1 L p/100km.

[pc1x1]

Would anyone know if theres anything simular in the states, if so please pm me ;)

[earljail]

Yeah- bastards.:mad:
jk, way to go. You can use the money to upgrade a few things or help pay it off.

From the manufacturer's web sites: (All manual trannys)

Yaris Hatch: 6.9L/100KM in the city and 5.5L/100KM on the highway

Fit: 7.3L100KM city, 5.8L/100KM highway

Accent hatch 7.4 city, 6.3 highway

Versa hatch 7.9 city 6.3 highway (6.1 with CVT tranny)

Aveo 8.9 city 5.9 highway

Ouch, check out the city kilometrage in the Aveo. Combined was 7.5!

For some reason I thought the Fit wasn't that good, but it seems that it's not far off.

Gas prices sure are hurting (comparatively speaking to before) Today I fueled up at $1.02 per litre. Most I've ever paid in my life. (Yes I know that other people in Europe pay way more)
Where I live in Canada near Vancouver, BC, we don't pay a 12 cent transit levy although they want to put one in soon, but our gas is only maybe 5 cents cheaper. :frown:

[stuffy]

wow, the aveo is terrible!

[Black Yaris]

Would anyone know if theres anything simular in the states, if so please pm me ;)

we do, but only applies to hybrids, funnything is our car gets better gasmiles than some hybrids that get this

[lomky]

So the budget was passed last night so done deal. Anyone who gets the rebate, post here as I would like to know how it works.

Still waiting for delivery of my nice new blue Yaris to trade in my 2004 Echo.

[jav427]

i bought mine the day after the new incentive kicked in but my salesman told me it would take atleast a couple of months for me to get the thousand bucks. he told me to check the gov website for more info in days to come!!! hey i am still happy though cuz i luv my car and i was told there is only 4 of them in ontario!!!( 2 dr RS with B pkg in silver color) woohoo i feel special lol.

[lowkey]

This is good BUT I don't understand why long term lease(me) people would not qualify if we had made the lease before March 07.

[marcus]

unfortunetely they just approved this rebate in march 20.. you kinna got your car a bit too early..maybe talking to your lease agent.. he or she might be able to help you...maybe change the apllication date...lolz..that the only thing i can think of..

[naossoan]

One thing I don't get is that they say the rules are that its below 6.5 L/100 km
but the official stats on the yaris, on the toyota website, in the brochure book, and on the government website, are 6.9 L/100km

But on the website that has the vehicles listed it is 6.3 and 6.4 L /100 km

Do they actually qualify or is it some kind of mistake haha - cause I have my yaris ordered (over a Honda Fit) specifically because of the $1000 rebate (well, and the exterior of the Yaris is much better than a Honda fit, and the Fit doesn't come in white :(

[marcus]

the reason it went down to 6.3 is because it average the gas mile between hwy and city it should be 6.9 city + 5.5 hwy / 2 = about 6.278545 round off to 6.3 and that makes yaris on that average.

Yeah that is a stretch...called the phone number on that website. He says the government just picked a random cut-off day and had no logic behind it. :iono: Oh well.

[lomky]

march 20 was the date the canadian budget was handed down.

[YarisDJ]

I bought my car last wednesday and salesman told me he will contact me as soon as they have the forms for the 1000$ check! I called the lady at Transport Canada helpless desk and she said it's a 1000$ check non aplicable...but will take few months to get it....:thumbdown: don't hold your breath:biggrin:

[marcus]

i believe you dont get the form from the dealer..i think it accessable on line once its available.. and yah it will take a while for you to get it..but who cares as long as you got extra $1000.00 cash in the future..patience my man...patience..

[the_boss]

:biggrin: I rather have 1000$ in my pocket than in Mr Harper's pocket

[Vervepipes]

They are kinda slow on the government website, the application is still not available...

[marcus]
