Got approved for a $19k car can I still get a better rate?

I got approved for a $19k car at 12.7%. Payments are going to be around $400


TU is 601

EQ: 570

EXP: 586

 

Credit Card Utilization 44%

 

Income is $44k

 

Can DCU or any other bank try to beat that based on my scores?


Sorry if I posted similiar thread in the past but I need a car and I'm not looking to get screwed with interest.

I actually think that is a great rate for sub 600 scores.

work on fixing things further and refi at 6 months

First get your scores up.  For your scores that is a great rate.  Once you get your scores up (shoot for 680) then apply at DCU.  Right now I think they would flat deny your app.

I usually wouldn't go and finance a car unless I really needed it. Hopefully I can raise my score significantly to the point where I can refinance 6-8 months from now. It will be my first car that I will be financing.

I used to have an 07 escalade, stock except for wheels and tint. I averaged 8mpg. I personally believe those city/highway estimates are bs. I will never again purchase a large suv. I think I was spending like 20 dollars a day on gas and my job was only like 5 miles away. Having it as a daily driver you really feel the pain.
