Car Shopping | Get the Best Interest Rate

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
