Hey all, I have a downpayment on a new travel trailer and just sold my pop up last night. Thursday I will go to sign papers.
They were touting 4.99% finance rates until I got the deal. Then it jumped to 5.99%. I just purchased a car 2 months ago and my credit was 775 at that time. They pulled it Monday at the camper place and now it's 706. Big drop. I told him no way @ 6.99. He got it down to 5.99% which still seems high.
What should I expect? MSRP is $32K. Purchase price $20K I will be putting $10,000 cash down and financing $12,000 for roughly 10-12 years...whatever gives me the best rate, then I will pay down early.
I think with that kind of down payment I should be in the 3-4% range. Not sure what the deal is with my credit and the huge swing but hoping I can show the bank the rating from 2 months ago to help swing into a better rate.
Any thoughts? Either way the trailer will always be positive in equity.
Edit: I found a local credit union @ 4.24%. My score is lower than anticipated because my old car AND new car loan both show up. Old car should be off by now! The break over from Good to Excellent is 720 points. 720 is good for another .25% from the CU. Today the CU pulled it and it showed 710 (I did close some cards yesterday, maybe it helped?). So close.
