Anyone have any general idea who has the best rates in NOLA/Metairie for a new car purchase? Anybody have good or bad experiences (hidden fees etc)?

I obtained 1.99 % from LightStream (SunTrust Bank) for an auto loan. Unsecured, no lien on title.

Open to whatever can get me a cheaper rate but looking to do 60 months. I feel like the rate cut for going shorter isn't really worth it. Car brand is a new jeep wrangler. Doing 10% of total ending out the door price (including fees & TT&L). With rates so low, I can't bring myself to do 20% or more down.

Seriously, look at PenFed. It appears you have to be military to join, but choose "other" option when joining and you can pay a 1-time fee to join the "national military family association" for $15. You will also have to put another $5 in penfed account to verify membership. After that get approved up to a $(x). Walk into dealership with penfed pre-approved financing and do all your haggling while letting them assume you are financing through them.

I opened a PenFed acct back in January after reading about it on here. Figured it would come in handy for my next mortgage or car loan. I'm starting to shop a little for a vehicle and I went to PenFed's site and they are offering .99% on new purchases. I just clicked a few times to see what the process was and was expecting to just see if I was approved. Next thing I know it's 3 days later and I get a 30K check in the mail from PenFed. Kinda scary how easy it was. I haven't even decided on a vehicle but the check is good for 90 days so we'll see how it goes.


I posted this a few months ago. The rate has jumped to 1.49% but I plan on using the PenFed check this weekend on a new vehicle. Couldn't have been easier.

you can still get.99% through their buying program with pre approved cars. 1.99% for used car which OP could possibly get with good credit
