A few simple answers about how lenders set rates and payments.
No. Advertised rates are representative starting rates. Your rate depends on your application and the lender's review.
The vehicle, amount financed, down payment, interest rate, and loan term can all change the payment.
A credit inquiry may be part of a lender review. Ask your credit manager about the next steps for your application.
Several factors influence the interest rate you'll receive
Your credit history and score play a significant role in determining your interest rate.
A larger down payment can help secure a lower interest rate and better terms.
Shorter loan terms may have different rates and higher monthly payments. Longer terms may reduce monthly payments but increase total interest paid.
Vehicle age and mileage can affect available rates and terms. A lender reviews the vehicle with your application.
Employment and income details are part of the lender review and may affect available rates and terms.
Lenders may compare your existing debt with your income when reviewing available rates and terms.
The amount borrowed compared with the vehicle value can affect the review. A larger down payment may help with available terms.
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.
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.
