What is a good APR rate for a car loan?

What would be considered a good APR rate for a car loan? I’m not sure what kinds of rates I should be looking for and which ones I should stay away from.

When it comes to car loans, it depends on your situation. A good APR for someone with bad credit might be a terrible one for someone with good credit. That said,
APRs
around 2% are very good.
Such low APRs may not be available to everyone. To give you a better idea of what rates that you can expect, here are the average APRs for new car loans by credit score:
  • 300 to 500: 14.59%
  • 501 to 600: 11.03%
  • 601 to 660: 6.61%
  • 661 to 780: 3.48%
  • 780 to 850: 2.34%
As you can see, these numbers vary drastically between credit scores. But if you’re in the market for a car loan, you can typically find a better interest rate by shopping around for a good lender. Different lenders will offer different terms than others, so take your time finding the lender that best suits your needs.
