Got 0.9% from Nissan! Put a big chunk down, hammered them on price since it was the last day of the month. Started out at 6.95% from Cap One, ended up with 0.9% in a matter of a couple hours. The pulled Equifax (my lowest) and Experian (my highest) and used Experian. They said it's different depending on which state you're in. I told them I've been working on my credit for awhile now and have a pretty honest understanding of where I stand. I asked them "How did you get it to 0.9%?" and the finance guy said in a dry voice, "We had to make a call."
The sales guy came in and told me the wrong %, he said 2.9%. I still would have been happy but, I love that 0 as the first digit! I did have to give up one of the rebates ($500) to get to the 0.9% but I was OK doing that.
Funny thing is, I have an awesome new SUV, and I am happier right now about qualifying for the low rate.
MyFICO FTW!
Thanks!
Congrats on the rebuild, new SUV and awesome APR!
Already took a hit this morning on my Experian score. Reason: your installmant loan balance is too high.
649 is my middle score. They used my Experian, which is my highest score currently. They said the Auto-enhanced FICO was 672 and that they got me moved up a tier to get the 0.9%. Not sure what they did or said, but I know it cost me $500 in rebates. The financing is through Nissan Acceptance.
