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...

I don't think any dealers are doing 0% on a used vehicle.

To OP- Pre-approval is nice leverage to have in the negotiation. When buying used, it's good to have a high percent down. Most places I've looked have tiered rates based upon how much you're financing. (10%, 25%, 50%).

If you can finance less (net of purchase amt, trade-in, cash down) then 50% you should be able to attract a low rate.
