Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Should I get pre-approved before visiting a dealership?
Yes — always. Dealers make money on financing, and if you don't have a competing offer, you're negotiating blind. Walking in pre-approved means you can focus on negotiating the vehicle price rather than getting distracted by monthly payment manipulation. Our check takes 60 seconds and doesn't affect your credit score.
What is a good APR for an auto loan?
In 2026, competitive auto loan APRs range from approximately 5–8% for borrowers with excellent credit (750+) to 15–24% for borrowers with fair or poor credit. The national average for new vehicle loans is approximately 7–9%. Use our savings calculator to see how different rates affect your monthly payment.
Can I get an auto loan with bad credit?
Yes — there are lenders in our network who specialize in working with borrowers with lower credit scores. Rates will be higher, but securing financing and making consistent payments can also help rebuild your credit over time. We recommend comparing multiple offers before accepting any.
How long should my auto loan term be?
Shorter terms (24–48 months) mean higher monthly payments but less total interest. Longer terms (60–84 months) lower your monthly payment but cost more in interest and increase the risk of being 'underwater' on the loan (owing more than the car is worth). Most financial advisors recommend keeping auto loans under 60 months.
Can I refinance an auto loan I just got?
Most lenders require you to wait 60-90 days after origination before refinancing. Once you've met that waiting period, refinancing can lower your monthly payment if rates have dropped or your credit has improved.
Should I get an auto loan from a bank, credit union, or dealership?
Lendifi.io connects you with all three. Credit unions often have the lowest rates for members, banks offer competitive rates with established relationships, and online lenders provide the fastest approval. We help you compare all options in one place.
Does the age of the car matter for auto loan rates?
Yes. New cars typically get the lowest rates because they hold value better. Used cars under 5 years old still qualify for competitive rates. Cars older than 10 years or with over 100,000 miles may have limited financing options or higher rates.
