Default How do you guys find auto loans for a purchase from a private seller?

It seems most banks won't do auto loads for buying from a private seller/individual, or they charge a 9% interest rate.

How do you guys finance your car?

Pay the going rate. The consumer has little power in this lending segment.

Years ago I bought an XJ-6 from a private seller and got a check from the bank, which was the proceeds of a loan.

As of late I have paid cash for vehicles so don’t have a suggestion for a lender.

It looks like I am going to have to pay for it with cash. The amount of hassle with a lender and the sky high interest rate they want! It sucks.

Check out PenFed credit Union - they used to be super easy to work with and always had good rates - not sure about today’s rates but worth a look

You must be young....sky high rates were 40 plus years ago, during Jimmy Carter days. Rates today are not high. You've been spoiled.
