What rates are you seeing out for excellent credit? And why is Drivetime for high for rates?

Just for fun I checked to see what I would pre-qual at DriveTime, since no credit is pulled. I have excelllent credit 798-800 across all 3. They gave me a quote of 12%, 7 years for vehicles on the $24k to $36k range...I wont get a auto loan under my personal as I need it to be under my business, but I almost laughed when I received that APR

Well, drive time is the largest subprime dealer/lender in the country. So I suspect high rates are just the norm for them.

Go to ussfcu. Pretty great rates that will be hard to beat. They give a breakdown on terms and rates on their site. Up to 60 months is 3.74 for an example.

@AzCreditGuy My mother was able to get 4% with Signature Federal Credit Union. I believe her score was 791. She ended up leasing instead.

Thanks for the info, didnt realize drivetime was sub-prime. I should have known when they state they accept 95% of loans. I got 4 calls today and I had to call them to remove me from the list.....I will not do that again

The USSFCU auto loan is around 6% now (48 months). Do we have better rates at the other CUs or banks? My credit score is excellent (800+).

Resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has run into decent rates for excellent credit?

 

Best I can see/get right now is 5.25% for 60 months through my credit union.

 

Anything else lower out there...
