What is a good rate for a used car loan?

I bought a used car a few months ago using a car loan I got through the dealership. I feel like my monthly payments are much higher than they should be. What’s considered a good rate for a used car loan if your credit score is 685?

I’m sorry to hear that you feel you might be overpaying for your
car loan
. If that’s the case, fortunately, you have options.
In general, with a credit score of 685, a good rate for a used car loan is around 5.49%. However, lenders rely on many factors when determining rates, so a good score for your situation could be slightly higher or lower.
On average, 5.49% is the rate for prime borrowers whose credit score is between 661 and 780. If your rate is above average—or you just want to see if you’re eligible for a lower rate—you should consider
refinancing
the loan.
To ensure you find the best deal, compare refinancing offers from multiple lenders, such as:
  • National and local banks
  • Credit unions
  • Online lenders
Alternatively, you can easily compare offers and make the refinance process more manageable by using
