College Graduates Offered Additional $1,000 on Select New Toyota and Scion Vehicles

TORRANCE, Calif., May 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- May is college graduation time. And for many new grads that means entry into the "real world" – a world in which credit and extra cash can be in tight supply. To assist college grads in the market for a new vehicle, Toyota Financial Services (TFS), in partnership with Toyota Motor Sales, is offering qualified college graduates a $1,000 rebate toward the purchase or lease of select new Toyota vehicles, including the Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, Camry (excludes Camry hybrid), Tacoma and Yaris and all new Scion models when financed or leased through a participating Toyota dealer and TFS.

"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 (applicable for all new Toyota/Lexus/Scion models) which offers 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

Additionally, all new Toyota and Scions comes with Toyota Care: a 2-year/25,000 mile complimentary maintenance plan with roadside assistance.
