How Do You Get the Best Interest Rate?

A higher score will translate to a lower interest rate. It helps to also be ready for potential negotiations. So if you’re wondering what a good interest rate is, the chart above shows it can be anywhere between 3.17% and 13.76%, depending on your credit score.

Once you’ve got the info you need, prepare for negotiations in case they offer an interest rate higher than what you anticipated. Also, take extra care to note every aspect of the offer. Don’t focus solely on the payment and ignore the other little details. Make sure you closely examine every factor going into the offer.

If you have a three-year car loan, the average Orangeville interest rate comes in at around 3% to 4.5%. Remember, don’t focus too much on what the averages may be and instead make sure you’re getting the best offer for your situation. Your offer will probably be different than the average since it’s based on your credit score and where you’re trying to secure the loan. At the end of the day, the best way to compare car loan offers and different interest rates is by shopping around at several locations, or by getting pre-approved and comparing those offers.
