I wonder if its for all Toyota years or just the "new" ones? But the 0% APR sounds good too!

Here are my questions... 1) Do you have to trade-in your current Toyota? Or all you need is to be a Toyota owner? 2) And does this apply to the Camaro? You know all those "stipulations." Probably like, "Applies to all GM vehicles, except the Camaro".... LOL

GM is trying to take advantage of the position Toyota put itself in. Loyalty is good for keeping customers ... GM needs new customers.

Maybe you just have to show proof of ownership, like a registration slip or something. Do any of our dealer frineds on here have any info? It would make sence to allow people to buy a chevy without trading in the Toyota, maybe they need a 2nd car, etc.

Exactly! I used to be a GM owner, then I traded it in and got a Toyota, mainly because of pricing at the time. Now, being in a better position financially, I am looking to be a GM customer again. I have a Toyota now, which I would like to keep as my Daily driver (plus is FWD, better in the snow). But if you are forced to "trade in" kinda defeats my idea of having a 2nd car. But an extra $1000 as a downpayment on the car definitly helps, and goes a ways to making me a happy and future loyal returning/new customer.

I'm in my 30's now, I have to start watching my salt intake.
I think they still have the program, but do it a little different. They recently mailed me out a certificate for $2000 towards a new car. It had to be used by a certain time. It definately wasn't a dealership promotion either.
