Default Toyota Financing experiences?

What are your experiences with Toyota financing? low rates? It interests me because of the college graduate program. I see the Toyota line cars offer special financing incentives. Has anyone received these incentives on your Tc?

I financed through Toyota and was able to get a lower rate (5.9%) than through my bank since my credit is iffy. No problems with them and they did throw in a $50 Toyota gift cert with which I bought an OBX shift **** and two oil filters (for down the road).

I got a nice low rate on a 6 year loan through them. No issues at all w/ getting the financing either.

they just ran a credit report on me, which i did before i went there. surprisingly, there was no hassle at all. i got the lowest rate through toyota financing.

also, the college grad incentive is worth $500. so anyone thats going to buy a new scion, ask about it since they don't mention or ask you about it.

I got the lowest rate Toyota offers (4.7% i think) and got the college rebate. It was definitely hassle free, but make sure you mention that you are eligible for the college rebate if you are.

They have a $400 rebate not $500. If you got $500 where did you get it from (city & state)
...........
I had 3.75% at my credit union, and could get the lowest with toyota at 4.7%

the 3.75% is a better deal for 36/mo even with toyotas $400 and a slightly higher interest rate. (in the long run I would spend $125 more with toyota)

I was able to get the lowest rate (4.7%) and the college grad rebate ($400) with little or no credit to my name. My parents didnt even have to co-sign either.

I didn't finance through Toyota. They wanted to give me a 13.5% finance rate for five years. My credit union offered around 6%. The guy in the finance office was a real dick though. He kept trying to sell me on buying extra ____ and I knew what I wanted, told him this and he continued trying to show me why I should spend more money that I can't afford to spend. It took me nearly two hours because this guy wouldn't let up. By the time I finished, I had had it with his dumb ___. I guess they see a young person and think they have no clue what's going on... first car purchase and all and I went with my cousin, who is younger than I am. Whatever, I got my car.

Sorry about that, you're right. its only $400.

I guess I was lucky and had a nice salesperson. She didn't try to sell me anything I didn't want, or any extras like gap insurance, etc. but I had a nasty feeling about the salesguy who was at the next table over. He kept trying to sell this family a scion with extras... i would definitely recommend going to that dealership if you're in the central NY region. i could give you her name and number, PM me.

I got 4.7% last Saturday + the $400 College Grad rebate...the guy hooked me up because he quoted me a price w/ the 4.7% then showed me a piece of paper stating rates had already gone up to 4.85%.

The financing was by far the easiest part.

The hardest was getting myself 10 minutes to go over my monthly expenses...

I'm hoping I get the $50 gift card too...

I have straight up ____ty credit, my score is a 611 and I have 4 outstanding collections from 5 years ago, they got me 15% APR for 72, but Im making bank now so Im gonna pay off those debts and refinance next year. I had nothing but a good experience there, plus they dropped 8% off my APR than what I had with Ford.
