How to Lower Your Car Loan Interest Rate

The first thing that many new car shoppers ask is, ā€œHow can I lower my car loan interest rate?ā€ That’s a simple question, and we understand the necessity of getting the best deal on an auto loan. Depending on your credit score, you may get a lower interest rate on a car loan. Follow the steps below to get started:

  1. Check your credit score: Better credit scores get lower interest rates. Knowing where you stand and whether you need to improve your credit score before applying will help avoid higher interest rates.
  2. Clean up your score: Apply for an auto loan after youā€™ve cleaned up your credit score.
  3. Check for Refinance Loans: Compare auto loan offers from different dealerships.
  4. Enlist a cosigner: Having a cosigner with a good credit score will help you get a lower interest rate even with bad credit.
  5. Consider in-house financing: In-house financing means making payments to the dealership rather than a bank. Making regular on-time payments to the dealer will raise your credit score and you can eventually refinance your auto loan to lower your interest rate.

What is a Good Interest Rate?

New Rochelle buyers with higher credit scores have greater negotiating power than those with lower scores. However, you can usually estimate that your auto loan interest rate will fall within the range of 3.2% to 12.9%. See below for credit score averages:

  • 680 and below: 6.5% – 12.9% (on average)
  • 739 – 680: 4.5% interest rate (on average)
  • 800 – 740: 3.2% interest rate (on average)
