Can I get a car loan with a 699 credit score?

My current car’s days are numbered, according to my mechanic. He said I should start looking for new cars now. I’ve always paid cash for cars, but I want something that will last. Can I get a car loan if I have a 699 credit score?

As long as you have a steady income and a manageable debt, you can get a car loan with a 699 credit score.

terms.
According to the latest statistics compiled by credit bureau Experian, borrowers with a credit score between 660 and 780 can expect average car loan interest rates of:
  • 3.64% for new cars
  • 5.35% for used cars
Keep in mind that lenders analyze other aspects of your application besides your credit score, including:
  • Down payment amount
  • Amount you want to borrow
  • Your income
  • Debt-to-income ratio, which is a measure of how much debt you have respective to your pre-tax income; this should ideally be 43% or less
