Car Loan rate of interest

Jan 26 2010
Car finance or car loan interest rates depend upon many factors. One important factor is the economic situation prevailing in the country at that particular point in time and the government may block or release the flow of money by monitoring and controlling the interest rates. When the economy is stable and progressing well, the government may not tinker with the flow of liquidity and will keep interest rate at a constant level for a long time.
However, the car loan interest rate charged to an individual is primarily influenced by the credit history and that is a major influencing factor without any doubt. So it is of paramount importance to a consumer to monitor and improve his credit history if necessary so as to get car loans at the best interest rate. Knowing your credit score will help you choose the most appropriate car credit option. If your spouse has a better credit score, then you could take the car loan on the name of the spouse and enjoy better rates of interest.
The credit score and the history which would detail the type of debt you have exposure to, the repayment pattern of your credit card and other debt as well as any possibility of bankruptcy will all together serve to provide the lender adequate information about your capacity to repay and he would offer interest rates accordingly.
