Only things like late payment penalties, early termination charges and the like vary from lender to lender. Unless they use a guy name "Knee Smasher Sal" to collect late payments, you go with the best interest rate, the lender really doesn't make a difference.
I would add a note to that. There are over 1000 ways to figure interest. I don't go by the rate but the monthly payment. I tell them the size of the loan and the term. I get a monthly payment that I can compare to another monthly payment. Many times you will find the lower rate has a higher payment. It's all in how the interest is figured.
