  • Rates are subject to many things...amount, time of loan, credit rating, location, etc...

    If all is optimum, I would think 3.75 or lower.

  • It's negotiable people. When can you learn, you own the bank! They don't own you. Tell them what you'll pay and play one against the other. Ours is O% on a Prius and the house is 2.75.
  • The 0% game is just a nice way to back load your interest and think you're getting something for nothing. With today's rates most of the time if a rebate is offered that's a better way to go.

    I'm currently truck shopping. I can get either a $2250 rebate or 0%. With the $2250 rebate my interest rate is 1.89%, total finance charges will be around $1500, if I don't pay it off early. I typically do pay them off early.

    The reality is that 0% would only cost me $750 MORE than 1.89%. :w If I pay it off early that $750 number grows even bigger, making that 0% even more expensive.

    With most consumers today going 60 months on the loan take a look at the payoff amount at 36 months with the rebate vs 0% and that 0% gets even more expensive.

    There is no such thing as free - ever. But as always, everyone needs to run the numbers themselves and see what works best for them.
