Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good interest rate for a car loan?▼
Rates vary by credit score and whether the car is new or used. As of recent years, excellent credit often qualifies for under 6% APR.
Should I put money down on a car?▼
A down payment of at least 20% on a new car reduces monthly payments, total interest, and helps avoid being upside-down on the loan.
