TORRANCE, Calif., June 17, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Toyota Financial Services (TFS) / Lexus Financial Services (LFS), in partnership with Toyota Motor Sales and Lexus, announces the expansion of its longstanding Military Rebate Program; offering a $500 rebate* on all new Toyota and Scion vehicles, and a $750 rebate** on all new and Certified Pre-Owned Lexus vehicles. Established to thank our troops for their service and dedication to defending our country, and to help them afford the car or truck they want, the program has offered rebates for eligible military personnel and inactive reserves since April of 2007. The program has now been expanded to include retirees and veterans within a year of their (honorable) discharge, and household members of eligible qualifying military personnel.
"Toyota Financial Services is incredibly grateful to our troops, and strongly supports the Armed Forces," says Karen Ideno, Vice President of Product and Marketing at TFS. "An important part of that is to also support the loved ones who stand behind those service members deployed overseas. We hope this program makes life a little easier for them, and helps them get the vehicle of their choice."
To take advantage of the rebate, individuals must:
- Provide verifiable proof of military status or active service at the time of purchase
- Receive a qualifying salary
- Receive credit approval by Toyota Financial Services or Lexus Financial Services through a Toyota, Scion, or Lexus dealer
"When service members come into the dealership, you really want to do everything you can to help them drive away in that car or truck they want," says Danny Renshaw, owner of Toyota of Hopkinsville near Fort Campbell, Kentucky. "With Toyota's Military Rebate Program, we have a way to do just that; a way to say thank you, and give back to those who continue to give us so much. It's the right thing to do."
