Frequently asked questions

What is a good interest rate for a car loan?

As of 2026, good credit borrowers typically see rates of 5–8% for new cars and 7–12% for used cars. Credit unions often offer lower rates than dealerships.

How much car can I afford?

A common guideline is to keep your total monthly car payment (including insurance) under 15–20% of your monthly take-home pay. The 20/4/10 rule suggests 20% down, 4-year term, and under 10% of income.
