Unless you've already made a firm decision on the exact vehicle, and (especially) if you're not a car guy, Consumer Reports is your friend. Taking a look at J.D. Power also isn't a bad idea, in order to have a double check. And I'd definitely look at your local credit union, in addition to banks and online sources, for financing options... maybe even your insurance agent (State Farm had good rates a year or so back).
Good luck.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Penfed will cut you a deal when you use their car buying service. I heard when it first started, they were offering 0%
When I bought my used car in 2011, i used Lacap locally and they were charging me something like a 3-4% interest rate. I quickly refinanced after that with pen fed for 1.49%.
Depending on the care you buy, you may get a fairly good deal at the dealership. I know Toyota does 0% financing for 60 months on some of their cars throughout the year. Free money...
