TFS Pre-approval

Did you all get pre-approval from Toyota Financial Services before heading down to the dealer? If so, uh, how did you work around the issue that the RAV4 EV isn't listed as a model there?

The above happens whether I put in a California ZIP code or not:

Nope, just went in.

Just select another model of equal or higher MSRP . . . if you qualify for a loan from TFS that way, the actual model car you ultimately buy should not really matter. Sadly, I did something along these lines, and when I went to the dealer had to do the whole credit app thing all over again anyway. Also, back in November all TFS offered was 1.9%APR, while at the same time they were offering 0% on the "standard" RAV4s. In retrospect that makes absolutely no sense to me in any way whatsoever! :roll:
