Is a 695 credit score good for a car loan?

My wife wants to buy a car but I have a slightly higher credit score than she does so she wants the loan to be in my name. Will a 695 really get a better car loan than a 676?

Both a 695 and a 676 credit score will fall into the
good credit score range
, meaning you will qualify for most car loans with either score. However, you might be able to get a better interest rate than your wife due to your slightly higher credit score.
While 20 points might not seem like a lot, your car loan’s interest rate will depend largely on your credit. When it comes to car loans, a higher credit score means lower interest. If you want the best deal possible on the loan, you should take it out in your name.
