Default What's the lowest APR I can get for buying a tC?

I've been wondering about that for awhile. Lowest possible rate? Let's say if I have a 780 credit score


Thank you!

When my dad helped me get my 2010 tC the dealer said the lowest they could give us was 6% on a Scion. They said if we bought a Toyota we could get any of them for 0%. They said 6% on a Scion was the lowest they could give anyone, not sure what my dads credit score was though.

I got my 2011 TC for 21.5k out the door 10k down 3.7% apr 210 a month 60 months and my credit is 730 but only from credit cards I am a new car buyer
in comparison I was going to get a 2006 RSX-S from Honda and my apr was 17% if you are a new car buyer buy a new car used cars have higher aprs

best way to get a good low APR is go through a credit union or bank. they can usually get you a much lower rate than the dealerships

^^much lower than 3.14%? even the 2.7% that tankedpilot posted is less than $2 per month difference... why go through the hassle of trying to get approved at a bank and having all the extra paperwork for such a small difference?

around here interest rates at banks have been 2.25% on car loans. id kill to have that rate on my tc. dealership lowest they were gonna give me (june2007) was 7.6 so i went to a credit union and got one for 5.25...i got screwed cuz rates were high then even with a high credit rating.

it also doesnt help when you are only putting down $2k on a $22k car. leaves a lot of room that has the potential to not be paid back.

Ted is right though, the difference of 2% to 3% is pennies a day when you do out the math. Its cheaper than sponsoring a child in africa haha

Your credit score will dictate the APR options available to you. Scion will write paper for people that basically can fog a mirror though.

Got a loan from my credit union for 3.4% but they just started a 2.5% special so I will be going back to get it switched to that. Hopefully they let me. I'll have to lay my sweet-talk to the loan lady.
