Toyota Offering $1,000 Rebate to College Grads

Toyota prices have gone up recently due to shortages, so this extra money will help out.

This offer applies to those who have graduated within the last two years or will graduate within six months.

It's good for purchase or lease of a new Toyota Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, Camry, Tacoma and Scion models.

New Toyotas and Scions feature complimentary maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles - which most assuredly helps cash-trapped students.

Though Toyota is making the grand gesture, good deals are out there on comparable cars.

GM offers college graduates preferred pricing, while many other Asian manufacturers also give $500 to college grads.

Honda and Subaru offer college grads competitive financing, since most won't have a credit history and would receive high interest rates as a result.
