Questions About Auto Loan Rates
A few simple answers about how lenders set rates and payments.
Is the advertised rate my guaranteed rate?
No. Advertised rates are representative starting rates. Your rate depends on your application and the lender's review.
What affects my payment?
The vehicle, amount financed, down payment, interest rate, and loan term can all change the payment.
Will a lender check my credit?
A credit inquiry may be part of a lender review. Ask your credit manager about the next steps for your application.
What Affects Your Rate?
Several factors influence the interest rate you'll receive
Credit Score
Your credit history and score play a significant role in determining your interest rate.
Down Payment
A larger down payment can help secure a lower interest rate and better terms.
Loan Term
Shorter loan terms may have different rates and higher monthly payments. Longer terms may reduce monthly payments but increase total interest paid.
Other Factors to Consider
Vehicle Age & Mileage
Vehicle age and mileage can affect available rates and terms. A lender reviews the vehicle with your application.
Employment & Income
Employment and income details are part of the lender review and may affect available rates and terms.
Debt-to-Income Ratio
Lenders may compare your existing debt with your income when reviewing available rates and terms.
Loan-to-Value Ratio
The amount borrowed compared with the vehicle value can affect the review. A larger down payment may help with available terms.
Already Have a Loan? Explore Refinancing Options
If your credit profile has changed since you obtained your current loan, refinancing may be worth exploring. Rates, terms and total borrowing costs can differ. Whether refinancing is beneficial depends on the new rate, loan term, fees and total borrowing cost compared with the existing loan.
Potential Reasons to Consider Refinancing
- A different monthly payment may be available
- A different interest rate may be available
- Loan terms may differ from your current financing
- Compare total borrowing costs before deciding
Refinancing does not guarantee a lower rate, lower payment or lower total borrowing cost. Available terms depend on the applicant, vehicle, existing loan and lender criteria.
When Refinancing May Be Worth Exploring
- Your credit profile has changed
- Market rates or available lender programs have changed
- You want to compare different loan terms
- You want to review your current financing costs
Whether refinancing is beneficial depends on the new rate, loan term, fees and total borrowing cost compared with the existing loan.
