What is a normal rate for interest on financing a car with a credit union?

credit union rate
Amy asked:


I got a rate that is somewhat higher (based I guess on my credit score). It is 8.1%. I guess it would be better for me to get a pension loan that is only 4%? The only difference is that on the 8.1% loan I would ahve been given 6 yrs to pay off the loan, and the 4% from my pension would have to be paid off in much less time, like 20 months or so.

Mine’s offering 3.9 percent these days, if you put 20 percent down. Otherwise, their regular rate is 4.9 percent.

Typically credit unions offer lower interest rates for auto loans than some other lenders. Loan offers are usually restricted to members. If you’re shopping for a credit union in anticipation of purchasing a car, look online. Credit unions often post their current interest rates so you can compare them.
