i'm looking for a new car and a place to get the best auto loan rate possible. the dealership isn't running any low APRs, unfortunately, so i've been looking at credit unions. i've found the Birmingham/Bloomfield Credit Union who posted rates of 5.5% for 60mo and 6.25% for 72mo. (http://www.bbcu.org/rates.htm)

anyone have any other recommendations?

I just financed my first car yesterday 11/15
...
And 6% is as good as its gets. My APR for the car is 26%, and major credit cards are like 28%
...
But thats cuz of my age and I cant lower for 6 months
...
So pending on your age and credit history that 6% only applies for certain people who qualify.
...
And if you do sir. I bow down to you

26% interest is nuts.

i was pissed to have a %9 interest on my first car loan (without a co-signer). %6 is a good rate. if you get that from a major bank, take it.

No kidding.

It actually might make more sense to steal a car.




(unless they have The Club, that is)

I got a club on my new car too
...
and yea 26% is sad, but I have no choice
...
It'll go down after 6 months which is only 2 months away now

What kind of car did you get?

you were serious about the %26?

That is nuts, and I wouldn't pay that. I'd either drive a junky car or get a co-signer. Nothing that depreciates like cars do is worth %26 interest.

26% interest is like buying the car twice.

No wonder you eat at McDonald's every day. With rates like that, a man needs all the dollar menus he can get!
