One of the first questions a customer will ask when getting financed for a new or used vehicle is “what is my interest rate?” While it sounds like a simple question, in reality it is quite complicated. Dealers do not set the interest rates; those are set by the banks.
Numerous factors go into the process of determining a person’s interest rate. They compile a large list:
- Length of time with current employer
- Length of time at residence
- Amount of revolving credit
- Credit utilization
- Late payments
- Collections
- Credit score
- Year of vehicle being financed
- Terms of the loan
- Amount of income
- Other auto loans
- Your age
- Amount of down payment
- Any negative equity on the trade in
- Type of vehicle being purchased and whether it is new or used
- Advance on a new loan
- Bank being used
