    So, saw the above in the fine print of a cashback offer from a dealership offer on a new car....I don't trust them to tell me what it means....google it and found nada.

    Sounds as if I really have money, they will give me money....???

    Anyone?

    All New Toyota vehicles with 20,000 miles or less are eligible for the rebate (excluding fleet models). -All Toyota models are eligible to be targeted for the offer. -The program uses three models to identify eligible customers based on the likelihood that customers will be in-market to purchase or lease a new vehicle within the next six months (180 days). -Targeted Retail Customers: -Have an equity position AND are likely to be in market in the next six months (180 days). -To manage volume, this model does not target every customer with an equity position.

    It means they combed through their database of people they previously sold cars to, found the ones who were good at making payments on time for a while (thus building up equity) and now they want to sell you another car because (from their point of view) the last time went great.

    They don't have to waste time on people who don't have the credit or are upside down on their present auto loan.

    Our local dealership has 2 new Prius, and 8 new Primes. If I'm not mistaken, not one car on this page has a spare tire. And both Prius have sunroof, which I dislike. There's basically only two levels, regular and "tech". The term "tech" indicates the "upper" level, which gets the compressor with goop, and the sunroof.
