I want to make sure I get the best used car loan rates, but I’m not sure what they are. What are the best possible used car loan rates I could get?

Ideally, the best interest rate you could get for a used car loan is 0%—but that is not common. Realistically, the best used car loan rates are between 4.31% and 5.10% APR.
That said, you need an excellent credit score to qualify for such low rates. Most lenders require a score of 750 or higher for rates below 5% on a used car loan. These rates are also typically only available for loans with short repayment terms of 36 months or less.
To give you a better frame of reference for the interest rates you can expect, here are the current average APRs for 48-month used car loans by credit score:
  • 750 or higher: 6.37%
  • 700 to 749: 9.88%
  • 600 to 699: 14.94%
  • 451 to 599: 17.91%
  • 450 or lower: Over 20%
As you can see, interest rates depend largely on the borrower’s financial situation. While the best rates may be around 4%, they won’t be available to every applicant.
