Graduating college is an achievement like no other. The years of hard work. The countless late-night study sessions. The networking, job hunting, soul searching. The endless memories. All this, culminating in the moment you collect your degree at last. It is a mountaintop summited, a lofty goal finally reached.
We at our Virginia Beach Mercedes-Benz dealership know how triumphant graduation day feels; we also know that adult life starts up quickly after you get your degree. Oftentimes, the ink is barely dry on your degree before the new job starts and the commute begins -- and your old college cruiser no longer fits the bill for the kind of driving you're now doing. These changes that come with post-graduation life mean that now is the perfect time to buy a new car, one that holds its own in the office parking lot.
To help with this, Mercedes-Benz offers generous college grad specials. These savings opportunities -- part of the Mercedes-Benz Rising Star financing program -- are designed for recent graduates looking to affordably buy a luxury car or SUV. If you want to buy smart, this is the way to do it.


How Do Mercedes-Benz College Grad Specials Work?
These Mercedes-Benz specials in Virginia Beach are intended to help recent or upcoming graduates benefit from specific financing arrangements designed with younger buyers in mind. Fresh grads rarely have long credit history and a lengthy history of high-paying employment, something these new car incentives take into consideration.

- College/University must be one of the following:
- Accredited four-year college or university
