Important APR Facts

Make sure you’re up to date and informed before you finance your next vehicle.

• APR vs. Interest Rate – Even experienced car buyers might not know the difference between their interest rate and their APR. While your interest rate is the percentage you pay every month, the annual percentage rate (APR) adds in all the other fees you’ll pay. That’s why your APR is usually higher than your interest rate.
• Credit Score – Individuals with better credit will receive a lower APR. Be sure you don’t have any outstanding bills or unexpected issues by regularly checking your credit score.
• Read the Fine Print – Be sure to read your auto loan carefully before you sign. Keep an eye out for hidden fees or unexpected additions, and make sure you’re asking the right questions.
• Come Prepared – Read up on important facts about auto loans so you can discuss your loan terms with confidence.
