Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

[ Edited ]

Different strokes for different folks.

 

I know from personal experience that if you have a Mod Cut car and need to replace it, you can negate the interest rate of 10%+ if the new car's efficiency makes up for the cost.

 

For example, going from a 25mpg 1994 model to a 2010 42+ mpg diesel with a 16% interest rate will still be more affordable... if you drive more than 25k miles a year.

 

On the other hand, if you have no understanding of money and are not in need of a new car, then I can see your logic and agree with you.  Those are more emotional mistakes than rational decisions.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

How much did you have to put down to get your car payments at the amount that you pay?

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

Assuming that was directed at me, just our trade for 3500.  There are tons of rebates out there right now so we also got another 3300 in rebates.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

No prob!  Just to clear up one other point, I have 3 lates in the last year (all older than 6 months), a foreclosure from 4 years ago, and 1 CA for $250 still outstanding to be paid.  I have nowhere near stellar credit , but they were able to get me approved.  This is my first lease so I hope in the end it all works out, but I definitely got a better car than I could have if I purchased outright, got a car with a great residual, no money down, and lower payments than if I purchased a car worth half the value of the CTS.

Re: Auto Loan Approvals!

To those who have recently purchased a vehicle.  I plan to buy two vehicles next month.  I am a service member stationed overseas and need two for my spouse and I.  I plan to purchase a Honda and Toyota, but I want to know where can I get the lowest rates.  I plan to apply at Honda and Toyota finance, USAA, PenFed and NFCU.  My current score are EQ:799, EX: 804, and TU: 801.  Thanks!
