Toyota Extends 0% Financing, Annoying Ads
Toyota’s could-have-been-worse numbers likely had something to do with its financing offer in October, which gave customers 0% financing on 11 models in its lineup. Buoyed by the sales, Toyota is extending the offers for another month, making them available until the end of November.
The downside to this is that your TVs — and brains — will again be invaded by Toyota’s utterly brutal “Saved By Zero” commercials. You know the ones. These are the sacrifices we make for affordable financing, we guess.
The models included are listed below:
- Camry
- Tundra
- FJ Cruiser
- Corolla
- RAV4
- Matrix
- Sienna
- 4Runner
- Highlander
- Tacoma
- Sequoia




Today's Wall Street Journal has a story about Toyota laying off people at their main Japan location - Toyota City.

things are slow and why make them in japan when you can make them in kentucky where is (probably) cheaper and closer to the end market.

Someone with the name of Eamonn calling the Toyota ads annoying is very funny. Do you even know who your father is?
