I see that Tacoma's have 0% 60 mths. The cash incentive is only $1750 so even at 2% it would be better to take the 0% on say a $45k truck. These are just general numbers right now, not dealing on anything.

I saw gmc advertising 0% for up to 72 months and no payments for 6 months. I assume that’s still going on.

Just bought a Subaru ... 63 months, 0% interest. No payment for 90 days.

GM had something similar.

Other posters, OP is asking about non-incentive rates to see if he should give up rebate for special APR or not, obviously majority of brands are offering 0%

That's extremely low. Most places are offering 6500-8000 in rebates and whatnot.

As of yesterday Neighbors had the lowest rate in BR of 3.19%.

On a Toyota Tacoma? Tell me where and I will buy it right now.

Like the other poster said, I'm looking at non-incenive rates.

Does anyone think now is the time to buy? I was originally planning on buying in December, but with promo 0% rates and 3 months no payment, that is only about a 3 month difference in time. I'm going to check my credit union at work tomorrow. I'm not seeing anything other than to take the 0% assuming the price is right.

You can get substantially lower from Neighbors if you go through a dealer that uses them. I've seen 2.14 recently.

Well, he's right. Financing a depreciable asset over 5 or 6 years is just silly. Always pay cash if you can, but if you do finance, don't do it for more than 3 years on a vehicle.

I'm looking at a $40K SUV right now for my wife. Buying it one year old with less than 20K miles takes over $10K off the price.

Even if the rate is lower than your cost of capital??? You completely ignored rate in the statement above. Rate is much more important than term.

Oh no, my bad. Those were on GMC and Chevy. Didn't realize you were only looking Toyota.

GM has 0% for 72 months if you wave the incentives. The incentives are knocking 10-12K off which is a better deal though.

If 40k is the MSRP you’re lying to yourself.
