Lightstream is easiest and you will have no lien on the title. They wire the money to you next day, you cut a check

+1 for Lightstream. Used them for my 06 and it couldn’t have been easier.

I believe they're formerly known as Digital Credit Union. Based in Massachusetts.

I am looking at their rates. 4.25 - 6.75 depending on term.

When did did you get 1.something?

That was in 2016. I want to say it's 1.69 but I'd have to look. It's possible they've gone up since then.

Edit: Yeah, I just looked and see that their rates seem to have gone way up. Guess I had good timing.

+1 for PenFed - I purchased my current 997 using them early last year. Rates were around 2% I think.
I've used DCU as well before - very smooth to deal with.
I just checked PenFed's rates => things have gone way up in the last year!

Another one for Pen Fed. Their rate last year was over 1% lower than light stream. Process was simple and easy. Had the money in 3 days if I remember correctly. This is with an 800+ credit score. I will definitely go there again as it did not make sense to use my cash when theirs only cost me like 3.5%. My cash brings me in a lot more than that.

+1 for Penfed, I've had several cars with them
+1 for Lightstream. Recently moved one car over to them at about 3.9%.. painless, money in my account the next day. they weren't interested in any details about the car at all.



I'd avoid DCU though. I've had a couple of cars with them. It's no problem if you don't need anything, but if you end up needing to call then be prepared to wait for hours, and the service is pretty far from that you'll get at Penfed.
