Your rate is actually set by the dealer offering you the loan, and it’s based on a number of different factors, such as your credit, income level, employment history, and loan amount.
Longer loan terms result in smaller monthly payments, but there’s a downside: you’ll end up paying more money toward interest, and, for a few years, you’ll probably owe more on your loan than your car is worth. Why? Because you’ll be paying off your loan balance slower than your vehicle is depreciating.
Here’s what your monthly payments would look like over different lengths of time on an $8,000 car loan at 8% interest.

Get your car loan before you shop for a vehicle. You’ll be able to set a realistic budget before you get to the dealership and you’ll know which vehicles you can actually afford.
Registered dealers have to follow a set of rules and regulations aimed at protecting buyers from fraud and generally shady practices.
Owning a car is expensive. Before you go ahead with your car loan, consider all the other costs of owning a vehicle: regular maintenance, repairs, gas bills, and, of course, car insurance.
Take your car out on the road before you purchase it. See how the vehicle performs at different speeds and on a variety of different roads.
