How To Get Best Auto Loan Rates

By: Chrischanning
Getting a good deal on an auto loan is going to take a lot of work. Those who haven't established much credit yet are going to realize this sooner than they'd like, and the problem comes to be finding a solution to the high interest rates and unfavorable terms that lenders are going to impose on the consumer.

Bad credit or no credit at all is always going to be remedied by a large down payment. A large down payment will show the financing entities that the consumer applying for the auto loan is serious about getting the vehicle. A down payment of half the car's worth or more is going to almost always guarantee an approved credit loan, depending on the severity of the situation.

When consumers are presented with a list of monthly prices by the auto loan lender, consumers tend to think that the highest amount each month is best since it can help shorten the term of the loan. But this isn't the case since interest is applied to the amount the consumer pays each month, not the overall price of the vehicle. As such, consumers should choose lower prices each month and pay back more each month should they feel the need.

Interest rates each month are going to be based on the payment plan that the consumer has chosen. This rate can vary anywhere from 0% to as high as 25% or more. Special financing plans that offer 0% financing usually only last a year or two, and usually exist as a gimmick to charge higher interest rates later on down the road. As it can be seen, reading the fine print is important.

Car salemen like to play with consumers into liking a car and becoming emotionally attached to it so once it comes time to pay for it, they will be more likely to pay unfair interest rates. Car salesmen will commonly act like the "friend" of the consumer while the manager is the evil saleman, but in all actuality, this is just a marketing ploy to get consumers to trust salesmen enough to sign the dotted line.

The buyer needs to remember that multiple lenders and auto dealers exist, and one should never rely on one sole resource for their auto and insurance needs. It should be made very clear that every lender and car dealer is going to claim they have the best warranty, the best financing, and the best benefits down the road. But if everyone offers such a deal, someone is clearly lying!
