Financing Rates

Where have you gotten good rates from? I am looking at a 2003 Boxster S, and just got a stupidly high rate from Wells Fargo.

2.99% from Bank of America, home equity loan. The only problem is that this rate is so low, I bought two motorcycles and my '03 Boxster base with it within a span of 1 year, all 100% financed. Some say you should never put your house up as collateral for a car, but I do a lot of things you're not supposed to do. I think of it as "stimulating the economy". And yes, it's a variable rate, but it's been at 2.99% for over two years now. Plus, I get to write off the interest, although at 2.99% there is not that much to write off.

Mine is 4.65% through a local credit union as a car loan. Didn't think it was too high of a rate considering when I refinanced my Harley to pay for some schooling they jumped my interest up to 12.95%. Bastards.

Penfed at 3.25%.

Or do what the big banks can do, take as much leverage (credit) as you can possibly get, throw the money at stupidly high risks (Veyron?) and then when it's time to pay up, claim that you're a systemic risk to the economy and we (all of us taxpayers) will send money to help you out. /rant

11.49% because it is a 2003. it get's much better when i move to a newer car, but I want to keep the cost down, and i like the 986 better than a 987.

We got 2.79% for 4 years. 15% down. BOA. I expect interest rates to rise...especially after the 2012 election. Meanwhile I am earning 8%+ on my investments. Life is good.

Went through a local credit union and picked up a 3.24% rate. Also refi'd my commuter car while I was at it, can't complain.
