Get the best interest rate

Here are the main factors that could influence the interest rate you are offered.

Your lender
Unless you borrow from an individual, you will be dealing with a financial institution, a credit co-op or a manufacturer's financing service. Each of these scenarios has its own advantages and drawbacks.
The vehicle chosen
Are you buying a new, used or very used car? Often, buyers of new cars get the best interest rates, and only new vehicles generally qualify for 0% financing. Nonetheless, manufacturers sometimes try to drive sales of certified used vehicles by offering 0% financing.
Your credit rating
Buyers with better credit ratings are offered lower interest rates, so some people are ineligible for the 0% financing option offered by manufacturers.
The loan term
For a lower interest rate, choose the shortest repayment term possible based on your budget.
