Should I have 6.19 interest rate on a 20k 72 month car loan with a credit score of 807. That seems way too high with my good credit.

No, no you shouldn't have an interest rate that high.

72 months generally supports an uptick, but you shouldn't be over 5 or so with 740+ (much less 807).

Did you just take their financing or pre-arrange with your own lender?

And credit unions tend to outperform everyone on these - unless you qualify for a manufacturer subsidized rate (which tend to be cyclical).

Why are you financing a 20k car loan for 6 years? And that rate is horrible.

You shouldn't be higher than 1.9%.

I just took out a similar loan (higher loan amount) and got 1.7%. I actually got pre-approved for 1.9 at a credit union in New Orleans, then the car dealership beat it with 1.7% from Bank of America.
