Used with good credit 10% or higher

New depending on car/truck , you can find 2.99


My note is 0 percent because i ga e them 19k cash first. I told them they wouldn't get the deal if they didnt give me 0%.

We used a financial psychic this time. They sit with you and are able to put things together in a way that makes the most sense for you family. A lot of people get stuck on what they want vs what's best for them. The FP can determine what will be best for you long term. They help with rates also but not specific details, more like where you should focus your energy.

7.9% is the quote at my bank.

2.9% is a gimmick, the seller is charged the remaining 5%.

This has not been a good deal as of late. I have two accounts with a credit union and they were not competitive. I need to check again.

Wut? The car companies own finance divisions that offer those rates as incentives

4.5 - 5.99% is about the best rate going around credit unions right now.

Dealers may have incentives that give you a lower rate but it usually means you get less off the price.

Credit union around 4% on new and 0.5% or so higher on used.

If you're buying new, then check to see if the manufacturer's website to see if they have any promo offers on financing. Just depends on the make and model you're looking at.

Chevy's website shows they're running 0% for 36 months on Silverado. Toyota website shows they're running 0.99% for 72 months on 2025 Tundras and 2.99% for 72 on 2026 models.

He's somewhat correct in that interest rates are what they are and manufacturers don't have a secret source of capital thats lower than SOFR. They basically just get you to overpay for the vehicle so they can buy down the interest. You could maybe get them to go cheaper if they're not subsidizing your interest rate, but practically thats difficult.

Just got used for 5.2 through the dealer. I usually buy and refinance through my credit union but I doubt they would beat 5.2. Was TD bank.

Last year Nissan tried pushing a 6% on me for a Frontier and I walked out. Went to Kia for a grocery getter and got 3.9%

frick EFCU. Last time I used them they absolutely would not let me pay extra on my principal. They said they would. And they took my money. But never applied it to principal. They just pushed back my next payment due date. Then when I traded the vehicle in, I had a payoff quote in writing and a month after the deal was done they sent me a bill for another $300 for payoff. They are some slimy cocksuckers.

If you can’t pay cash, you can’t afford it. Not joking.

Why do you need a full size truck?

Why can’t you buy used?

Why do you have to have all the bells and whistles?

Again, why do you NEED a brand new full size truck?
