Will S&P's Downgrade Increase U.S. Home Mortgage, Auto Loan Interest Rates? International Business Times
Reported Saturday.Prior to the S&P downgrade, for all intents and purposes, institutional investors equated investing in U.S. debt, often in the form of 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds, was as good as depositing money in an FDIC-insured bank, or what institutional investors call "holding cash."
For that reason, among other factors, the interest rate the U.S. Government was charged for loans was low -- very low: the U.S. Government had to pay just 2.57 percent to borrow money for 10 years, despite having a large budget deficit and national debt.
With the Friday night downgrade, S&P is saying investing in U.S. Government debt may not be as good as cash.
As a result, investors may ask for a higher interest rate, given the higher risk, and that could push up interest rates throughout the financial system, including in the U.S., loans for home mortgages, car loans, student loans, small business loans and credit card rates.
Of course, it's not 100 percent certain that interest rates will move higher, but they probably will.

What is the average car loan rate for a used or new car?

how do I keep my new current car loan rate without accepting a counter offer for a higher rate after 1 month?
I have made and they have accepted my first payment. My credit has since dropped but all paperwork was signed along with trade ins and down payment. Are there any options favorable to me that i can present to the finance company?
What is the interest rate for rolling over negative equity into a new car loan?
We are looking to trade in a car in which we have $3,000 negatvie equity onto a new car loan of $11,000...making the financing $14,000. Assuming perfect credit, what impact does this typically have on the interest rate of the new car loan, if any.
I was in this same situation. Depending on your down payment it should work as if the car you are buying is 14,000. The 3,000 doesn't have a different interest rate then the rest of your loan. Hope this makes sense.
I've had good luck here...

Read the "transportation section" of todays (sunday) newspapers
The Chicago Tribune prints a chart every week with various lenders & their currant rates
If you're buying NEW ,more often than not, auto manufacturers will offer low (as low as 0%) financing on their vehicles.
Transportation sections will also print currant incentives!
Hope This Helps
note to Ceprn:
(Ford Hybrid Escape ...0% X 60 mo. currantly)( also best warranty in auto industry on Hybrids)
Of course, they sell crap, so you'll probably want something built with better quality and with better gas mileage, such as a hybrid. I think rates are about 8 percent for that.
How to get a low interest rate on a new car loan?
I am 19, I have no credit. Never had any loans or credit cards. What is the best way to get a car loan with a low interest rate. Currently I have been approved for a rate of 7.25% is there any lower? Please help. Thank You
The only way to get a better rate is to try and qualify for manufacturer backed Zero percent or low interest rates on a new car. But in your situation that 7.25% is a darn good rate for a first time buyer.
You might also try a local Credit Union. They offer low interest loans to their customers.
Do the math, a 1% change in the interest rate of a $15,000 loan over 5 years will only change your payment by $7.00 as month. That's less than 1 large coke a week.
GOOD LUCK

It all depends on your credit rating, (credit risk,) and your down payment amount.
how do you get your interest rate lowered from a car loan after your spouse joins the military?
We found out my car loan interest rate has to be lowered to 6% max since my husband is active duty.
You are talking about the Servicemembers relief act and No, it doesn't have to be lowered just because he joined the military.
6% Interest Rate.
If a service member’s military obligation has affected his/her ability to pay on financial obligations such as credit cards, loans, mortgages, etc., the service member can have his/her interest rate capped at 6% for the duration of the service member’s military obligation.
Qualifying debts are debts that were incurred by the service member, or the servicemember and their spouse, jointly, before coming on active duty. Debts entered into after going on active duty are not so protected.
Notice that this particular provision of the act only applies if a servicemember's military service affects their ability to pay. However, the burden is on the creditor to seek relief in court if the creditor believes that the service member’s military career does not materially affect his/her ability to pay. The creditor must comply, unless he/she gets a court-order stating otherwise.
In order for an obligation or liability of a servicemember to be subject to the interest rate limitation, the servicemember must provide to the creditor written notice and a copy of the military orders calling the servicemember to military service and any orders further extending military service, not later than 180 days after the date of the servicemember's termination or release from military service.
Where can I find the best interest rate for a new car loan??
I have a trade in that has negative equity and need to keep my payments under 500. The trade in is worth 7-8k and i owe 16k. Can anyone help me? What kind of car should I buy? How can I get the dealers to give me their cheapest price?!? Where should I go to get the lowest interest rate( I have good credit(650-675)
thanks everyone!
You'll have to shop around to get the best rates. Try local banks and credit unions. Go online and try CapitalOne.com, eLoan.com, and LendingTree.com.
If you're buying a new car, the car maker (through the dealer) may offer great rates as an incentive to help sell more vehicles. Go to Edmunds.com to check for incentives on the car make and model you are interested in.
