In order to get the best interest rate, the first thing you’ll want to do is plan ahead. Check your credit history and note the score. The higher the credit score, the lower your car loan interest rate. You’ll also want to be ready to negotiate. So what is a good car loan rate? Based on the chart above, it could be anywhere between 3.17% and 13.76% depending on your credit score.
After looking at this chart, plan the rate you want and be prepared to negotiate if they offer you something higher than you expected. Another thing to be careful of is the offer. You don’t only want to focus on the payment and ignore the rest of the deal. Pay close attention to the details.
On a three-year car loan, the average car loan interest rate is around 3% to 4.5%. But you may be offered differently based on your credit score as well as where you’re getting the loan. In the end, the easiest way to compare rates or even discuss refinancing to lower your current rate is to shop around or get pre-approved and compare that way.
