    Hello, I checked all the newbie sticky post, but i still have a question for Prius owners in Canada (i live in Quebec, please forgive my english it's not my first language)

    Does a 0% financing deal is possible on a 72month plan? I will buy a Prius C but for the past month no dealership in my province proposed a 0% financing plan and sure enough, i'am not the only one who does not like paying interest. :)

    Thanks and sorry if it's was already answered.

    I'm sure you're not the only person who likes zero interest, but six years sounds like an unusually long time to enjoy an interest-free loan. I suspect the issue's more related to the dealer than the country, but such a deal will be hard to find.

    Yeah, they do it for the Yaris and the Corolla but not for the Prius :(. I will wait for the 2014 model to come and try to get a killer deal off the 2013 they might have in stock. I really want this Prius C, but wife want to buy a house next year lol.

    A new car loan won't help your mortgage capacity, that's for sure.

    Yeah I see that it's 0.9% for up to 36 months then increase by 1% per 12 months. The Yaris, Corolla and Matrix are their bread and butter and they sell a LOT of those (particularly the Corolla. They've been pushing it since 2010). The Prius and Prius c are aggressively priced so your best bet is to try and get one at a discount (vs. trying to wait for 0% financing). I don't think I've ever seen 0% for the Prius. 0.9% is the lowest I've seen.
