2012_prius_c_side_profile_445w
Toyota Financial Services (TFS), in partnership with Toyota Motor Sales, is excited to announce that the new Prius c is the first hybrid vehicle option available to recent college graduates who want to take advantage of the company’s College Grad Rebate Program. TFS hopes to make the transition from college to workforce easier and more affordable by offering a $1,000 rebate to qualified college graduates toward the purchase of any new Scion models and select new Toyota vehicles, including the Camry (excluding Camry hybrid), Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, Tacoma, Yaris, and now, the Prius c.

 The all-new Prius c joins the 2012 Toyota Prius family of vehicles, which were recently named “Best Green Car to Buy 2012” by GreenCarReports.com. The letter “c” in the Prius c moniker represents “city” and it was indeed designed specifically with city-dwelling millennials in mind. It functions as an urban-friendly vehicle with an engaging driving experience, accessible price, a city fuel economy rating of 53 mpg and available convenient and advanced in-car electronics features such as Entune™ technology. It is the ideal vehicle for the recent college graduate in the market for a fuel-efficient and tech-savvy solution to their transportation needs.

“The Prius c, is taking off as one of the most popular vehicles among young adults, but more than that, it is a dependable and economical way for recent graduates to get to new jobs and start their careers,” said Mike Groff, TFS Group Vice President of Sales, Product and Marketing. “We hope this $1,000 rebate, which can be coupled with other incentives, helps make the dream of car ownership a little easier.”

Qualified college graduates receiving the $1,000 rebate are also eligible for the College Graduate Finance Program (applicable for all new Toyota/Scion models) which offers a highly competitive APR/lease and special incentives such as:
  • No money down when financing and no monthly payments for the first 90 days on select finance programs on all new untitled Toyota vehicles
  • Competitive APRs on all new untitled Toyota vehicles and Toyota Certified Used Vehicles
  • Waived security deposit on lease
  • And of course, Toyota Care: a 2-year/25,000-mile, whichever comes first, complimentary worry-free maintenance plan with roadside assistance

Spitzer Toyota Monroeville - (5) Star Review on DealerRater

  • We were on our last leg with our old Prizm and had pretty much given up hope on finding something safe, affordable and reliable to suit our needs. We worked with Kelly and Ben. Ben was a helpful sales representative, answered all of our questions and found the answers if he didn't know them. My fiance and I are a young couple who haven't established credit yet. Kelly fought tooth and nail to get us financed for our vehicle and she did it! This was our first time purchasing a car from a dealership and they made it a great experience. Our family couldn't have asked for a better vehicle or a better deal on one. It means so much to me to have a safe vehicle I can transport my children in. I also have had four knee surgeries, and it is so much easier and less painful for me to get myself and the kids in and out of the Scion XB we purchased. These people truly care about their customers. They have changed our lives and we look forward to sending all of our family and friends here. THANK YOU! -Chelsea G.
