What are Toyota's current Interest Rates on a new 2009 vehicle?

Jun 07, 2009 by Steve | Posted in Toyota

I am looking into purchasing a new vehicle and am curious what Toyota's current Interest Rates are. Let me know if you have had a recent quote or what you rate you have received if you have purchased a new car in the last few months from Toyota. Thanks!

That would depend on what your credit score is, and the area you live... You can use the payment calculator available at http://www.toyotafinancial.com/consumer/ tfs.portal to figure out what your rate may be through Toyota Financial Services.

Tax Reform And Dividend ETFs: Cause For Concern?

18.05.12

Dividend ETFs have been at the intersection of two of the hottest investing trends over the last year or so, turning in stellar performances and attracting huge cash inflows. Interest in dividend-paying stocks has skyrocketed, as these securities have double-edged appeal as tools for both smoothing overall volatility and enhancing the current returns derived from equity portfolios. In an environment with several large risks continuing to loom overhead and depressed interest rates, that combination is tough to beat. Not surprisingly, ETFs have become a preferred vehicle for accessing dividend-focused strategies; there are now more than 45 dividend ETFs accessible to U.S. investors, with aggregate assets of more than $40 billion [see Premium Report: Dividend ETFs In Focus ].
