Car Loan FAQs
What's a Good Interest Rate for a Car Loan?
What's a Good Interest Rate for a Car Loan?
Current car loan rates for new car purchases are hovering just above 4%. Rates can be higher, depending on the term (length) of the loan, your credit score.
How Does My Credit Affect My Interest Rate?
How Does My Credit Affect My Interest Rate?
CU SoCal, we know you’re more than a credit score. While interest rates can vary based on market factors and each lender’s unique criteria, a borrower’s credit score plays a role in the interest offered a lender.
If your credit score is low, you are considered high-risk to lenders. As a result, you will likely be offered a loan at a higher interest rate as a form of “protection” to the lender in case you default on payments.
A high credit score informs lenders you have a good credit history, meaning you pay your debts on time, thus making you a low-risk applicant. As a reward, lenders will offer a lower interest rate on your loan.
If you think your credit may be affecting your ability to get a good rate on a car loan, check out these helpful articles: How To Improve Your Credit Score and How To Get An Auto Loan With Bad Credit.
