    Does Toyota still have the 0% for 36 on 2011?

    i still saw some around there. so, ask your dealer. they may have it because of the leftover 11s.

    Depending on the model you are looking for and the deal you can get, a 2012 at 2.9% may be a wash compared to a higher model 2011 at 0%. Maybe.... This really only applies to the 2011 Four vs. the 2012 Three I think.

    FWIW Penfed credit union (can join for $15-20) has 1.9% for 12-60 month car loans right now. Also has the best gas card I'm aware of: 5% off all the time (not just a stupid introductory period), no limits, cash right into the account at the end of each month and works at all gas stations.

    Looks like you can even get 1.5% if you use their "car buying service". Anyone have experience with that?

    I have not used them for car buying but they offer incredible mortgage rates and are a reputable CU. Also, you need to qualify to join- some sort of military or govt position- they have that on their website.

    The rates can and are different from state to state. When I was looking in January: Pa was 0% for max of 60 months and NJ was 0% for max of 36 months -- 2.9% for 60 months. Thats a couple of thousand dollars on a 30k loan.

    Toyota will finance the whole with no money down.

    I wanted a five w/o TP -- so the discount on the 11 and the 0% made the 11 quite a bit less. Plus -- I could not get a 12 in the five w/o TP

    You can join Pentagon federal credit union by joining the national military family association. By a simple donation you can join penfed and take advantage of their low interest rates. That's what I do.

    Use their car buying service (which just seems like a glorified autotrader.com) and you can get 1.5%
