Gave the dealer my scores and Approx rate they told me was 4-6%. (Ouch)
Cap One didn't have the VIN in their system, but dealer does participate in their program. Pre approved for same model truck at near the same price at 3.13% for 72 mos.
Called dealer and gave them the approval number and filled out an app online with a hard pull. Dealer called me back and said they can't do any better and they'll honor the 3.13%.
Then did an app at NavyFed with a hard pull and they came back at 3.99% . Just in case the dealer tries to pull any funny stuff, I'll swing by the branch and pick up the check in the morning before driving 2 hours to get the truck.
Anywhere else I should check for a better rate?
Check PenFed, it's a soft pull and they'll offer various rates and term lengths.
PenFed gap is $449 and you can buy it after a few days of the loan being on your account.
You will have to pay it with a debit/credit card, can't roll it into your loan.
