If you want to get the perfect car loan that fits your budget it is foolhardy to just signup when you have not determined all of your available options Before doing so you might to consider first the figures that you will be working with

There are a lot of web sites online which offer auto loan rate calculators
These rates vary by state and city There are also online lenders who offer a cheaper rate as compared to getting car loans via banks who more often than not deny your loan application especially for used vehicles

You can also ask around for the rates You are bound to get more results by word of mouth especially if you know car enthusiasts
Take the following as an example of the current used car rates
In California three lenders who offer used car loans are the Bank of America Capital One Auto Finance and Wells Fargo Bank
For a used car loan the Bank of America offers 20 down payment and an 112 rate You would add to this a 75 fee and a 25 discount with auto debit
The second lender which is Capital One Auto Finance offers a 625 rate and a 20 down payment There are no application fees and prepayment penalties
Wells Fargo Bank offers an 888 rate and a 20 down a 50 application fee and a 25 discount with auto debit
At the end of the day just compare these three rates and determine which offer would fit your budget
Also consider the distance mileage and the final asking price
One more thing that you should consider when comparing rates is the number of months for you to make the payments
There are several options Some lenders offer a 36 month used car loan For higher asking prices longer payment terms are available
For a 36month used car loan for example the rate offered is 831 This rate increases as the number of months increase
After researching and looking through all of your options choose the lowest rate that you can get and remember not to overspend when you have already reached a certain target budget
