Default First Time Buyer Program

My car is coming in this weekend and i just got off the phone with the finance manager who told me that i might be eligible for a First Time Buyer Program which i haven't heard of till now, and was told that it is a rebate for $750 that can be used to be spent on accessories.

I already am taking advantage of the DTR rebate of $750 and college grad rebate of $1000.

Has anyone heard of this rebate and taken advantage of it? I am still waiting to hear back whether or not i am eligible.

Never heard of it. But if you can get it, at no additional hidden cost, enjoy it. Be careful that $750, or any amount is not somehow merged or hidden in with something else. That practice was pretty common years ago.Buyers were getting surprised, when and if they read the paperwork, that some costs were being added to the bottom line without knowledge. This was generally associated with financing. But as a first time buyer, you need to stay on your toes regardless. Good luck.

Wow is this a real current offer? I just put a deposit down on a 350 F Sport and wasn't aware of this.
