Credit Score and Interest Rate

An individual's credit score is dependent on their history with various forms of credit. Typically, a good to excellent credit score is above 680 to 720. This score will tell you what kind of vehicle loan you will be able to get and at what interest rate. If your credit score is 700 or above, you should expect an interest rate around 3-4% unless the manufacturer is offering 0%. Someone with poor credit can expect an interest rate of 6.5% to 15.9% or even higher.
